The Vander Plaat-Caggiano Funeral Home, Inc. was established in the 1930's. Our father Joseph A Caggiano, was employed as a tradesman for several years before becoming a Funeral Director with the firm. In 1981, an opportunity arose to purchase the business and his dream of owning and operating a funeral home was realized.
Although he passed away in 1997, his children, a son and three daughters; Joseph J. Caggiano, Licensed Funeral Director, Lisa M. Caggiano, Licensed Funeral Director and Manager, Jean O. Meade and Maria T. Caggiano-Van Duffelen, Office Administrator, continue his legacy of caring, compassionate service to the community.
