Migliaccio Funeral Home

The business changed again with a new storefront chapel on 21st Street and what was then Hudson Boulevard and with the addition of young William R. Migliaccio to the business after graduating from Bayonne High School.

The Funeral Home eventually outgrew it's location and "Willie" Migliaccio moved it briefly to a house on West 35th Street before settling it into It's current location at 33rd Street and Hudson County Boulevard in 1953 with his wife Mildred Migliaccio.The house was a turn of the century private estate which once had a Fourth floor widow's perch as evidenced by this postcard of our Home which we know was taken in 1912.

Carol Ann Migliaccio celebrated 25 successful years as Manager of the funeral home in 2001 and in 2011 she was honored as "Funeral Director of the Year for her continued outstanding service" by Archbishop John J. Myers and The Archdiocese of Newark. In 2013, Carol Ann's eldest son Kevin Stapleton also graduated from The American Academy McAllister's Institute of Mortuary Science in New York City and received his NJ State Mortician License.

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.

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.
