About Us

The John Syka Funeral Home was founded in 1952 as the Fitzgerald & Syka Funeral Home, basing their operations in Ambridge on what-was Latimer Avenue, now Kennedy Drive, where they established a reputation for compassionate, respectful and dignified funeral services, including one of the Borough of Ambridge's first Ambulance service providers, and in 1974, co-founder John J. Syka acquired full ownership of the funeral home, thus creating the present day Syka Funeral Home.  Now in the third generation of family owned operation, John’s son and grandson, Jack and David, now carry forward in their father’s and grandfather’s footsteps building and enhancing the Syka legacy and tradition of being an exceptional facilitator to care for the passing of a loved one and celebrate their life in a traditional and respectful manner.
