Michael DeMarco Sr. began his funeral business in 1921 after being discharged from the U.S. Army, where he honorably served both in the artillery and as a barber. He first opened at 30 Jefferson St. across from the family's barber shop in the Stockade neighborhood of Schenectady.
One year later he realized he needed to move his business to Hamilton Hill on the corner of Schenectady St. and Strong St. Michael eventually talked four of his five brothers into joining with him in the business and they established the DeMarco Brothers Funeral Home with locations in Albany, Mechanicville, Endicott and Binghamton, NY.Each brother became an independent owner of their branch.

The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
