Coffey Funeral Home was established in 1911 by Michael J. Coffey. He was a young man living in North Tarrytown, NY. He was a stone mason by trade which often kept him on the road for months at a time. His soon to be in-laws who were undertakers in Croton-on-Hudson and Ossining, NY wanted him to settle down.
They encouraged him to become an undertaker so he could provide funeral services to a community that previously had none. Michael and his new wife, Margaret White, settled in North Tarrytown. Michael then went to school to become an embalmer. He graduated from the Renouard Training School for Embalmers in 1911.

Services
If death occurs at a hospital or nursing home, the staff of the facilities will notify the funeral home at your request. If death occurs at home the family doctor should be notified. If a physician has not been in attendance, the County Coroner, Medical Examiner, or Hospice Organization should be called.
Social Security - The current death benefit is $255 and is payable only to a surviving spouse or to dependent children. In some instances, the surviving spouse's monthly benefit may increase. If there are dependent children who are under the age of 18 (or over 18 and enrolled full-time in school), there are usually monthly benefits paid for/to these children.
Creating a meaningful, appropriate memorial can be a rewarding, healing experience - a chance to express what this life has meant to you and the people you love. Think of all the people who should be a part of this final remembrance - family and friends, colleagues and neighbors who have shared a part of this life.
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
Funerals have long been an occasion to bring families and friends together. A special time of celebration and remembrance, they usually include family members from every generation, plus friends from every stage of a loved ones life. Because these are celebrations at the end of a life, they often create a special opportunity to reunite friends and relatives who have been apart for years.

Although the passing of our parents within a few months of each other was incredibly sad, we are so grateful to the professionals at Coffey for their compassion, humanity, and respect. They made planning our mother’s funeral and burial and our father’s cremation as smooth a process as possible. Our whole family is very grateful for everything they did to make a difficult time a little easier.

I can't express enough my gratitude to Nancy and the staff at Coffey's Funeral Home for working with me before my mother was even sick, and then with her funeral when she passed. I felt very confident and trusting working with Nancy. She was accessible and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Coffey Funeral Home.

The Coffey family could not have been more helpful and kind when my husband died. It was a difficult time not only because of our loss but it was Mid-April 2020 when nothing was normal. In a surreal environment, the Coffey’s allowed us to honor my husband in a very special and personal manner. I am forever grateful for their kindness and professionalism.
