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.
