Danielle grew up in Washington, PA and is the middle child of her family. She is a daughter, wife and mother committed to treating families with support and care.

Danielle founded Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care in 2012. She is dedicated to changing the future of funeral service and her remarkable team is helping to fulfill this vision.

Danielle has great respect for the men and women who have fought for our country. She feels fortunate and proud to be able to take care of the veterans who have taken care of us.

Danielle’s family is of the highest importance in her life. She is the wife of her supportive husband, Rod, whose world revolves around their four children. Sophia and Adelina are classically trained ballerinas, Santino is an all-around athlete and Carmina is an entertaining, dirt-bike riding firecracker.

Danielle and her family reside in Venetia and describe themselves as foodies, whether it is time with family at their weekly Sunday dinners or a quick stop at their favorite restaurant, Kiku, their time together is precious.

Lastly, we don’t think any biography is complete without mentioning Danielle’s playful, grunting French Bulldogs, Blanche and Bruce, who the family adores.
