In this case, Pomierski & Son Funeral Home is a timeless gem to behold.
I just happened to stumble upon Pomierski & Son Funeral Home while delivering funeral flowers for a very old friend of mine, whose brother had passed away.
I was greeted by Felice, one of the owners that helped me with the flowers I had brought for the wake. She was a lovely, kind and a very professional business lady.
Immediately, I felt welcomed by one of the owners, even though I was only a vendor coming in the rear entrance with a floral delivery. If someone is this kind at the back flower delivery door, just imagine how empathetic and wonderful they must be to deal with if you are a bereaved family member. I can just tell, this place treats its customers very well and regards them highly.
So, after delivering the flowers through the back... I went in the front door to pay my respects to the family of their deceased brother. After speaking with family members, I became so overwhelmed at the true beauty of the interior of this funeral parlor. My eyes were taking in all the glorious, well preserved woodwork, stained glass, sculptured plaster treatments dating back to before the 1920's.
I was just amazed at the mint condition and the care that this funeral home has taken to keep all this fine craftsmanship of skilled artisans, whose trades have probably long disappeared, in such an extraordinarily flawless manner. I was struck with awe. I can't imagine a soul, not appreciating the architectural majesty that this unsuspecting funeral home has preserved for all of us to behold to this very day.
Anyone with the least bit of respect for the past, surely would appreciate such a treasure as not to disrespect its place in time and history. I must compliment this funeral home for holding onto such a gem without giving sway to the many trends and fads of past decades. The calls to remodel and modernize over the years, must have been plentiful. For in such logic, all of this fine quality workmanship, in impeccable condition would have been destroyed forever. Thank you!... Pomierski Family for preserving history.
Felice was so nice to talk with me further, at length, inside and point out the hand carved angels that are part of this unique interior. The angels are her favorite touch, I can tell.
I would have taken pictures but with a wake in progress, I could not have done so. I will be back.... to visit and take a few photographs of this remarkable and very functioning funeral home in the heart of Bridgeport. What a breathtaking find!
If you're gonna go anytime soon, check out this funeral home and go out in style!
Pomierski & Son Funeral Home is a fabulous funeral home to behold.
