Daniel Keenan Funeral Home, Inc.

For over a century, Daniel Keenan Funeral Home has stood as a pillar of compassion and professionalism in Albany, New York, and the greater Capital Region. Founded in 1923 by the father of the late Daniel Keenan, the business has remained a family-operated institution dedicated to guiding families through their most difficult moments with dignity and personalized care. After serving his country in the Korean War, Daniel Keenan took over the business in 1955, moving it to its current location at 490 Delaware Avenue in 1957. Over the decades, the home expanded through thoughtful renovations and acquisitions, including the historic Norman E. Dascher Funeral Home in 1992—a firm dating back to 1893. Today, the legacy continues under the leadership of Marie P. Keenan, Daniel’s daughter, who joined the family business in 1993 and succeeded her father as president upon his retirement in 2001. The Keenan name remains synonymous with trusted service and heartfelt guidance.
