Our funeral home was founded in 1912 in Russell, NY by Raymond J. French. Beginning in 1946 Raymond and his son Leon J. French owned and operated French Funeral Home in Edwards, NY which is still in operation. In 1978 Leon's son Richard became a licensed funeral director and he helped Leon run the funeral home in Edwards.
Follow Route 58 into Gouverneur. At the intersection of Route 58 and East Main Street, continue straight on Route 58 (now Clinton Street) for two blocks. Turn Right onto Barnes Street. The funeral home parking lot is on the corner of Clinton and Barnes Street. The funeral home is the white building, beyond the yellow house next to the parking lot.
No matter if a death is sudden, or if it something that was a long time coming, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed. No amount of preparation can fully prepare you for the loss of a loved one. When you are in a heightened emotional state, even the most basic decisions can seem staggering.
Traditionally, a burial service involves a visitation, followed by a funeral service in a church, or other place of worship. The casket is typically present at both these events, and it is your decision on whether to have the casket open or not. You have the option of having the remains interred (earth burial), or it may be entombed in a crypt inside a mausoleum (above ground burial).
