Michelle Sblendorio
After working in customer service for over 25 years, I had the pleasure of working at Saint James the Apostle Church in Springfield, NJ for seven (7) years where I had the opportunity to work in a faith filled welcoming community and with wonderful co-workers whom I now call friends. One of my many responsibilities was to meet with grieving families, arrange funeral masses, and sing for many of them. I am happy to now be part of the Bradley Funeral Homes team! My hope is to bring a joyful spirit to those in need and a positive reinforcement to my new coworkers.

On a personal level, I have 2 beautiful children whom I adore and cherish. I continue to sing at St. James, and I keep active with beach volleyball, weight training and theatre.
Integral to our success is the hard work and dedication of our team of Family Care Liaisons, including:
Norm Bremner | Chris Bull | Bob Krygoski | Jerry Smith | Jim Kling | Timothy Leonard | Wayne Smith | John Bradley
