The oldest Jewish family funeral home serving the Jewish community of greater New Haven with dignity since 1881. In 1881 Danny Weller began serving the Jews in New Haven as the first Jewish Funeral Director in the State of Connecticut and perhaps one of the first in the country. It was a time of an influx of large numbers of Eastern European Jews who were fleeing from the Russian pogroms.
Danny had a horse and buggy, worked out of his home, and was a legend in his day. On the occasion of Danny's death in 1923, his son Harry Weller assumed the mantle of responsibility from a converted residence at 425 George Street. Between 1923 to 1978, Weller's served the community from 425 George Street.
