Building History

In 1926, G.B. Perazzo erected the funeral home establishment at 199 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. It was without exception the finest and most complete and modern funeral home in New York City. It was not a converted townhouse, but a newly constructed building, architecturally designed as a funeral home. This was during a time when most wakes took place in the homes of the departed.

Since then, Peter DeLuca, the owner, has expanded immensely upon the proud and reputable tradition of the facility. With every attention to detail, the facilities have been impeccably renovated, restored, and beautifully furnished.
