Hickcox Funeral Home was founded in 1884 by Howard M. Hickcox. Mr. Hickcox and his wife Amelia (Atwood) Hickcox and their family lived in the home next to Hickcox Funeral Home's present location, on the corner of Cutler and Main St in Watertown. The 2 car garage between the two buildings was originally a barn that housed the horse drawn hearse and supplies necessary for the business.
Staff members of Hickcox Funeral Home Inc. are caring and experienced professionals who understand that each family is unique and has personal requests and traditions. These requests and traditions are of utmost importance to our staff of licensed funeral directors. Born in 1950, Paul grew up in Watertown and graduated from American Academy McAllister Institute of Mortuary Science in 1970 and purchased the funeral home from his father in 1974.
How are cremation services different from regular burial services? They're not. Services with cremation are the same as with earth burial, unless you prefer something different. It's your choice to make. Whatever you choose-casket and burial or cremation-family and friends need time to grieve and to say good-bye.
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.

Our family has had many deaths, and Carol and Diane handled each service with dignity and poise.I am very pleased with the variety of services they offered, at many different price levels. We've opted from simple to extravagant burials and ceremonies, and it was truly wonderful to work with two amazing women, as well as the rest of their staff. They treat us with respect,and not as a number, but as individuals. I would recommend this business to anyone who needs compassion and empathy during their loss of loved ones.
