About Joseph A Lucchese Funeral Home

The story of Joseph A. Lucchese Funeral Home dates back five generations with original roots in Morris Park. In 1875, a full-service funeral home was owned and operated by the Ruggiero family. Shortly after the Civil War, this venue quickly became the premier source for those in the Bronx area to receive high-quality funeral services.

The Ruggiero family business built its own legacy by serving the greater New York community with compassion in mind. After decades of creating memorable experiences for families, the owners decided to acquire Ribustello & Son, another family-owned funeral home within Morris Park, in the year 2000.

Fast forward to the present day, when licensed New York State Funeral Director and lifelong Bronx resident Joseph A. Lucchese saw an opportunity to run a business aligned with his dedication to helping others.

Lucchese took over the Ruggiero family business in recent years and continues to operate one of the leading funeral homes in the Bronx today. Our venue welcomes both traditional and non-traditional services and encompasses all faith backgrounds found within the state of New York. If you're searching for an affordable funeral home in the Bronx area, Joseph A. Lucchese Funeral home focuses on the expectations of your family for an experience all attendees will remember long after our services conclude.
