The Nicholas J. Bush Funeral Home was founded in 1948 by Nicholas J. Bush. In 1951, Nick and his wife, Pauline (Lucci) Bush purchased the Italianate building at 218 West Court Street. The building was extensively renovated by Pauline's father, Paul Lucci, an Italian cabinet maker. Nicholas P. Bush joined his father's business in 1984.
Take the NY-825 North exit toward Griffiss Tech Park/Griffiss Int Airport, proceed on Griffiss Parkway/NY 825. NY-825 becomes W. Chestnut St. Continue straight on W. Chestnut St. past Dunkin Donuts (to your Right). At traffic light on corner of W. Chestnut St. and Turin Rd., proceed straight onto Merrick Rd.
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).

Thank for offering funeral services to many of our surviving spouses (85-100 years) in the Rome, New York community. We were saddened today by how many families we have known "of WWII" who have now departed to the afterlife (St. John's and Transfiguration Church Bulletins).
I appreciated the first service (Nunn and Harper) for our 1960s neighbors, the Trela family (grandmother and mother from Ridge Street) from South Rome many years ago! Very good to see the sons and daughter, and the Careys.
