On Friday, March 27, 1942 the Farrell Press announced: "John Giroski, a popular local undertaker announced today that he will open a funeral and undertaking home at 1246 Haywood Street (now Roemer Blvd.) and will be open as of next Wednesday. The home was the former of residence of the late Joseph Cantelupe and is being thoroughly remodeled throughout. Mr. Giroski stated that he will have the latest equipment available for the conduct of his new establishment. He will announce complete details soon and invite the public to inspect his new home."

      In 1977, Mr. Giroski sold the funeral home to Robert F. Leipheimer who worked there for 19 years previous as a funeral director and embalmer. In 1990, Mr. Leipheimer sold the business to Joseph A. Tomon, Jr., a funeral director from Ellwood City, Pennsylvania. Mr. Tomon had worked as a trade embalmer for Mr. Leipheimer for several years before Mr. Leipheimer decided to retire. From 1990 until November of 2004, the funeral home was known as the Leipheimer-Tomon Funeral Home.
