Harris Funeral Home

Harris Funeral Home, with a legacy stretching back to 1820, stands as one of the oldest continuously operating funeral homes in New York’s Sullivan County. Proudly serving the communities of Roscoe and Liberty, the funeral home is currently under the dedicated leadership of Elton Harris and Kendra Harris, who carry forward a tradition of compassionate, personalized care. The funeral home’s motto, “Celebrating Life,” reflects its philosophy that every life deserves a meaningful tribute, regardless of the family’s preferences or budget.

Located at 11 Railroad Avenue in Roscoe, the facility offers a warm, accessible environment with wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, ensuring that all families feel welcome during their time of need. The funeral home provides a comprehensive range of services, including traditional burial and cremation, memorial ceremonies, graveside services, and pre-planning options. The staff works closely with each family to create a service that truly reflects the personality and beliefs of the loved one being honored—whether that involves a formal religious ceremony, a simple cremation followed by a private gathering, or a vibrant celebration of life.

In addition to at-need services, Harris Funeral Home strongly encourages pre-planning as a way to ease the burden on loved ones. Their easy-to-use planning form helps individuals document their wishes and lock in current pricing, providing peace of mind. The funeral home also offers grief support resources, including a year-long program of weekly messages designed to provide strength and comfort during the difficult months following a loss.

Beyond the Roscoe location, the funeral home maintains a second facility in Liberty, New York, ensuring that families throughout the region have access to their experienced team. The funeral home can be reached at (607) 498-4929 for the Roscoe location or (845) 292-0001 for Liberty. Current obituaries are regularly updated on their website, and they offer a convenient online flower-sending service for those wishing to express condolences.

Harris Funeral Home’s enduring presence in the community is a testament to its unwavering commitment to the highest standards of service. Whether a family needs immediate assistance after a loss or is planning for the future, the Harris team is prepared to listen, counsel, and guide them through every step of the funeral process with empathy and professionalism.
