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 lanes 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.
