Our story
1941 - 1957
Our funeral home's history began in 1941 when William F. DeCarbo, Sr. established this funeral home. Better known as "Willie", our father and friend was a memorable and integral part of the community at large. His courteous service set the standard of excellence that future generations have upheld for over 60 years.
