Branch Funeral Home Smithtown

Branch Funeral Home Smithtown, located at 190 East Main Street in Smithtown, New York, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care and dedicated service since 1900. As a fourth-generation family-owned and operated funeral home, the Vigliante family has built a legacy of trust, integrity, and personalized attention that spans over 120 years. The business is currently co-owned by brothers John Vigliante, CFSP, and Paul Vigliante, CFSP, who carry forward the tradition established by their father, Henry Vigliante, a third-generation funeral director who purchased the funeral home in 1974. Henry, along with his wife Loretta, raised their six children in the St. James community, instilling a deep commitment to serving others.
