Services
A young Canastotan and his young wife moved to Oneida to establish a funeral service business. C. Fred Campbell and Hattie Campbell took funeral service out of the storefront era and opened Oneida's first funeral home in a residential setting. They initiated the superlative standards of service and the traditions of personalized concern that continue at Campbell-Dean today.
Campbell-Dean is experienced in and ready to assist families in deciding upon and carrying out all types of personalized funerals, services, calling hours, cremations and burials, per your loved one's and the family's wishes. For the convenience of our families, both the Oneida and Canastota facilities have selection rooms for choosing caskets, urns, and vaults.
Together, our firm offers families more than 75 combined years of competent, caring, professional funeral arrangement services. Jim is the third-generation owner of the Campbell-Dean funeral home, a business that has been in the Dean family for more than 65 years. Jim's father, Marion, was a Canastota native and Canastota High School graduate, and his mother, Lorena Olcott Dean, grew up in Oneida and graduated from Oneida High School.
We strive to make sure that families who choose Campbell-Dean are comforted by spacious surroundings and modern conveniences. Our facilities are dignified and comfortably furnished and are able to accommodate both large and small funeral services and family needs. Both locations are fully handicapped accessible.
Pre-planning of funeral arrangements and services is a decision that can provide tremendous peace of mind. By making important decisions before the time of need, you can be assured that your specific wishes will be carried out, and that your survivors will be spared the difficult and emotional decisions that are necessary at the time of your death.

Sadly a long business history does not always equate to quality. Marion Dean built a first class business, which is no longer evident today. You first notice the deterioration before you even enter the building, the rotting columns at the front door. Once inside you see, a poorly maintained interior and old worn out furniture. The quality of the deceased presentation is appalling, the last time and I mean the "last time" that my family used this firm my father looked like a clown. The cosmetic application was terrible, in his hair and his lips red like a lady with lipstick. For the extortionate

Campbell Dean handled the funeral for my father, Dr. James Brod, and our family could not have been more pleased with the entire process and the services provided. Jim Dean and his staff made a very difficult time bearable for our family. They took care of details that we never thought of and handled things with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Thank you for being there for our family.

This funeral home comes recommended as the better choice in town for your after life care.
The historic building is decidedly impressive but the structural alterations are hardly in keeping with the design principles of the period. The layout does not flow well. The reception (a section that seems to have been added on) room is divided awkwardly and decorated with tacky reproduction paintings from random periods and styles. The shaggy pile carpet and low-end antiques do nothing to improve the drab feeling. The ghastly red velvet drapes appear to be in need of a little dusting off. In need of an
