SIC (US 1987) : The initial building that stands on the site that is now the Franklin Funeral Home was built in 1923 by Andrew Hoffman, a retail Lumber dealer, as a homestead for his family. He and his wife Mary had four children, Andrew, Edward, Robert and Elaine. The original structure had three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs with a center hall entrance, living room, dining room, kitchen and two sun porches on the first floor. Andrew Hoffman was so proud of his home that he had his initials built into the chimney. (They are still visible today!) In 1939, Thomas Dalton purchased the property and it became a funeral home. Shortly thereafter it was utilized as an old folks rooming house. In 1957 Joseph Ongaro acquired the former Hoffman mansion and renovated it as the Franklin Funeral Home in 1961. A second expansion and renovation was made in 1978. One interesting historical fact is that Sister Mary Jeremy conducted Saint Catherine's Elementary classes in the Franklin Funeral Home for three months because of the delay in school construction. Over the years, the Franklin Funeral Home has been a source of comfort to many families in their time of need. Bruno Caracciolo and his son Bruno- third and fourth generation funeral directors- have been serving the Franklin Square Community, and surrounding areas.
