Established in 1951 under the direction of Donald J. and Madeline A. Corridan, the funeral home has had the privilege of serving Chicopee and the surrounding area for more than 60 years. Both were natives and lifelong residents of Chicopee with Donald graduating from Cathedral High School and Madeline from Holy Name High School.
Donald received his professional instruction from the New England Institute and attained his embalmer license in 1943. While employed as a full-time Inspector at Moore Drop Forge Co. he was presented with the opportunity to purchase the funeral home. His work also entailed an involvement in Trade Services with other funeral homes in the area as an embalmer and funeral director.

Plan Ahead
Report
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.
Why Plan Ahead
Report
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.
