Our History
Our founder, Charles M. Curtin, Sr. started
as a funeral director at Buchheit Funeral Home in Lackawanna, NY in the late
1940’s. In 1952, Charles and Thomas Cusack became partners, opening Curtin
and Cusack Funeral Home in Lackawanna, NY. In 1957, a second location was
founded on Union Road in West Seneca, NY. This building was the first in West
Seneca built specifically for funeral services. By 1968, Union Road was expanded
from two lanes to five lane s
causing the original funeral chapel to be demolished and a temporary closing of
this location for construction. Charles and Thomas both had sons that were
planning to come into the business and they decided that this was a good time to
make changes. Thomas decided to stay in Lackawanna and Charles stayed in West
Seneca. Charles and his son expanded to a new and larger facility and became the
Curtin Funeral Home, Inc. Upon reopening, Charles welcomed the public with his
new partner, Charles M. Curtin, Jr. They operated the business together until
the passing of Charles, Sr. in 1997. Presently, Charles M. Curtin, Jr.
continues to serve the community.
