History & Staff
We have years of experience caring for families, from all walks of life. Each family comes to us because they know we are leaders in our profession, dedicated to excellence in service, and have the highest integrity.
When we sit down with a family, we have just one goal: to create a fitting, memorable and affordable service for their loved one. Together, we explore the wide variety of services and products available, as well as a wealth of creative ideas and suggestions.
Together, we'll design a memorial or funeral service that suits their needs now, and in the future. Families who come to us know that years from now, they will have deep peace-of-mind because in coming to us, they've done their best to honor their loved one.
Jennifer M. Graziano (1984)
Our History
2010 marks the Graziano Family's 100th year in funeral service. We are proud to carry on the legacy of Joseph Graziano. It is our commitment to carry on this sacred line of work employing the principles of service, dignity, compassion and professionalism that serve as the hallmark of the Graziano reputation.
Vincent and Jennifer (2009)
Coxe and Graziano remains an independent, family owned and operated funeral home because of Vincent 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 200 year 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 New York City and has been a hallmark of excellence therein. Vincent, having carefully observed the diligence and dedication of his grandfather, father and brother, carried the family name into Westchester in 1980 and has established a close bond with Mamaroneck, Harrison, Larchmont and the surrounding communities ever since.

Vincent strongly believes in giving back to the community that opened its heart to him nearly 30 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 front porch provides a peaceful area for reflection in the spring and summer months as it faces our blossoming trees and budding flowers.
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.
