James V. Demarco & Son Funeral Home

James V. DeMarco & Son Funeral Home has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in the Port Dickinson and Binghamton, New York, community since its founding in the early 1930s by brothers James and Anthony DeMarco. Originally established as DeMarco Bros. Undertakers in a modest storefront, the business evolved over the decades. In the mid-1930s, the brothers parted ways, and James V. DeMarco opened his own funeral home in downtown Binghamton. In 1964, Albert J. DeMarco joined the family enterprise, leading to its renaming as James V. DeMarco & Son Funeral Home. Today, this locally operated establishment is proud to be a member of the Dignity Memorial® network, a trusted provider of funeral, cremation, and cemetery services across North America. This affiliation allows the funeral home to combine the personalized, compassionate care of a family-run business with the resources and value of a larger network.

Conveniently located at 737 Chenango Street in Port Dickinson, the funeral home offers a warm, accessible environment. The facility includes a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking, an onsite chapel for services, and free parking for guests. The funeral home provides a comprehensive range of services to meet the diverse needs of the families it serves. These include traditional funerals, cremation services, and personalized memorial celebrations. The team works closely with families to create meaningful tributes—whether it’s a religious ceremony, a contemporary celebration of life, or a unique event such as an ice cream social or a disco-themed gathering complete with a glitter ball. They also offer direct cremation, witness cremation, and full funeral services before or after cremation, ensuring families understand all available options.

Beyond funeral and cremation arrangements, James V. DeMarco & Son Funeral Home assists with time-sensitive travel arrangements, filing death certificates, securing permits, handling death insurance claims, and providing information about Social Security survivors’ benefits. They also offer grief support through a 24-hour Compassion Helpline®. Pre-planning services are available, allowing individuals to lock in today’s prices for future services and relieve their loved ones of decision-making burdens. The funeral home serves families of all ethnicities and faith backgrounds and works closely with veterans’ organizations to honor those who have served our country.

The Dignity Memorial network backs every service with a 100% service guarantee: if any detail does not meet the expectations promised in the agreement, the funeral home will do everything possible to make it right, up to refunding that portion of the service. Available 24/7, the staff ensures that every call is answered by a real person, and families are welcome to visit during regular business hours. With hundreds of thousands of families choosing Dignity Memorial providers each year, James V. DeMarco & Son Funeral Home remains dedicated to treating every loved one with the highest level of care and respect, honoring their life in a way that truly reflects who they were.
