HISTORY
Coxe and Graziano remains an independent, family owned and operated funeral home because of Vincent's Graziano's strong belief that the funeral profession should not be treated as a "business". Being a funeral director is not a 9-5 job with a five day work week, as the conglomerates have set the standard. Vincent calls to mind the diligence and dedication of his father and his grand-father and knows that a funeral director is one who is there to help a family at a moment's notice, always just a phone call away and maintains a relationship with them in the days months and years after the funeral. A third generation funeral director, Vincent Graziano is proud to keep this tradition of caring and compassion alive and is proud to know that he is passing it down to the fourth.

The Coxe & Graziano Funeral Home represents a more than 200year
combined history of funeral service. Our
white Victorian home has served this community as a funeral home for over
100 years. In addition, since
the turn of the 20th century the Graziano name has been associated with
the funeral profession through out the 5 boroughs of
Vincent strongly believes in giving back to the community that opened its heart to him almost 25 years ago. In addition to the active role he plays in various clubs and organizations, he and his staff maintain strong ties to the members of the local uniformed services.
We are most grateful in particular to the Village of
Mamaroneck Police Department and the Town of Harrison Police
Department for the many times they offer assistance.

Under Vincent's direction, the funeral home has undergone several
expansions and renovations as part of a continued commitment to provide
families with the finest service possible.
As we grew in size so did we grow in reputation.
We are both humbled and honored by the families who have come from
near and far to select our funeral home.
Today, Coxe & Graziano Funeral Home has 3 spacious, tastefully
appointed reposing rooms. A
large on-premises parking facility, separate lounge area for our families
and handicapped accessibility help to make our facility one of Westchester
County's largest, while our lavish landscape, tastefully elegant furniture
and decorum have helped to make us one of the finest.
There are various other features and amenities that are distinct to
our funeral home, as well. Our
custom fleet features a
contemporary-designed hearse and limousine as well as a lead vehicle.
A variety of upgrades have been selected to these vehicles to
ensure high quality performance.
In Chapel C, you will find a unique piece of art that is very
dear to Vincent and his family.
The stained glass, commissioned by Vincent's grandfather Joseph
Graziano in 1910, served as a backdrop in the reposing room of the family's
funeral home on Manhattan's lower east side.
Shortly before his death in 1995, Vincent's father John proudly
passed down the piece to his son. In the years to come lighting work,
cabinetry, and faux painting were completed to create the magnificent work
of art that graces the chapel.
 Our clock tower stands high and tall on our corner serving as a picturesque timepiece for all those who pass by. |
On the opposite side of our front lawn, our nation's flag waves proudly in tribute to the men and women that have served.
Our newest addition is the player piano that sits in our lobby, playing an array of quiet, reflective music that resounds through out the
funeral home. Our goal is to create an atmosphere of reverence that conveys sentiments of warmth and comfort to the families that we serve.
