In 1965, John P. Nolan opened Nolan Funeral Home at the site of his childhood home at 2316 Providence Avenue in Chester, Pennsylvania. As the business grew, John Nolan partnered with his long-time friend, Frank J. Fidale to form Nolan-Fidale to meet the funeral needs of the area's growing population.

John's daughter, Andrea H. Nolan, joined the family business in 1989, thus beginning the second generation of funeral directors. Andrea's husband, Ronald V. Bohenek, joined Nolan-Fidale as a funeral director in 2000. The Nolan family mourned the untimely death of their dear friend and partner Frank Fidale in 2003.

Andrea and Ron expanded the family business by opening our now main location in Bethel Township, Delaware County in 2005 with state of the art facilities and services.

Serving the surrounding community with warmth, professionalism and integrity has been a hallmark of the Nolan-Fidale name. We look forward to offering our families innovative services that bridge physical distance and create personalized memorials from the heart in remembrance of loved ones for generations to come.

A Personal Commitment to Compassionate Care

I was born and raised in Delaware County and chose to remain here to raise my family and serve the community that shaped me. My journey began in 1992 at Robert Moreland Funeral Home in Trainer, where I gained the experience and insight that led me to establish Pagano Funeral Home.

In 1999, I purchased land at 3711 Foulk Road, just across from Booth’s Corner Farmers Market, and opened our doors in 2000. From the ground up, I designed the facility to be warm, accessible, and comforting with spacious rooms, a coffee lounge, a supervised children’s area, and the largest funeral parking area in Delaware County.

In 2009, we expanded our facility and added an on-site crematory, ensuring loved ones remain in our care at all times. We are fully licensed in Pennsylvania and Delaware, and provide services 24/7 to meet the needs of all faiths and traditions.

We offer a wide range of services, including traditional funerals, cremations, pre-arrangements, out-of-state transfers, and graveside ceremonies. Our mission is to deliver personal, affordable, and meaningful services with compassion and integrity.

At Pagano Funeral Home, we’re not just providing a service, we’re helping families find peace and honor their loved ones with dignity. It’s a responsibility I take personally, and one I am proud to uphold every day..
