Serving families since 1927
A Brief History
In 1927, we constructed our first mausoleum, Ferncliff Mausoleum (also known as the Cathedral of Memories). This mausoleum has been expanded over the years as space needs increased. In 1933, we began to operate a crematory within the premise of the Ferncliff Mausoleum. We currently perform approximately 10% of all cremations in New York State.

We constructed our second large community mausoleum, the Shrine of Memories, beginning in 1959. Gracefully designed of sand-colored limestone, it was built to offer a more economical alternative for interments. Read more about the Shrine of Memories.
Our third community mausoleum, the Rosewood Mausoleum, was constructed in 1998. Designed to combine the best features of the Shrine of Memories and the Ferncliff Mausoleum, Rosewood provides comfort and quiet inspiration to families today and for generations to come.
