Joseph W. Sorce Funeral Home

Joseph W. Sorce Funeral Home, located at 728 West Nyack Road in West Nyack, New York, is a family-owned and operated funeral home with a rich history of compassionate service dating back over five decades. The original residence on the property was constructed around 1890 by the Klein family and later passed to the Philips family. In 1963, funeral director Don Price obtained permits to convert the home into a funeral home, but passed away before the conversion was complete. The property was purchased in 1967 by Almon Scott, who finished the conversion, and the funeral home opened its doors in 1968. In 1974, Marlene and Joseph Sorce acquired the business, renaming it Scott-Sorce Funeral Home. Through tireless dedication, they grew the operation alongside their children, Melissa and Joseph. By 1981, the name was changed to Joseph W. Sorce Funeral Home, Inc., fulfilling a lifelong dream. Melissa became a licensed funeral director in 1987, followed by Joseph in 1988. In 1998, Melissa’s husband, John A. DeNicola Jr., joined the firm as manager. After the passing of Marlene in 2013 and Joseph in 2015, Melissa, Joseph, and John continue the family tradition, honoring their parents’ legacy of heartfelt care.
