Harrison-Rasmussen Funeral Home

Harrison-Rasmussen Funeral Home, located at 3412 NY-97 in Barryville, New York, has been a pillar of compassionate service in Sullivan, Wayne, and Pike counties since its founding in 1898. Established by Danish immigrant Niels Peter Rasmussen, the funeral home has upheld a tradition of personalized, dignified care for over 125 years. Today, it is led by third-generation funeral director Patrick J. Harrison, who, along with his wife Peg Harrison, continues the family legacy of providing knowledgeable and empathetic support to families during their most difficult times. The Harrison-Rasmussen team takes great pride in their profession and facility, never taking for granted the trust placed in them by the community.

The funeral home offers a comprehensive range of services designed to honor the lives of loved ones in meaningful ways. Traditional funeral services include visitation or viewing, a funeral service at the funeral home, a church, or another place of worship, followed by a procession to a cemetery for interment. For those choosing cremation, options include traditional services with cremation (including visitation and funeral service before cremation) and cremation with memorial services (where cremation occurs first, followed by a later visitation with the cremated remains present in an urn). Harrison-Rasmussen also provides preplanning services, allowing individuals to make arrangements in advance, relieving their families of difficult decisions during a time of grief. The facility features an onsite chapel and is newly renovated, fully handicap accessible, with generous on-site parking and wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot.

Operating Monday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the funeral home is available by phone 24 hours a day for immediate needs.
