T.J. McGowan Sons Funeral Homes - Haverstraw

T.J. McGowan Sons Funeral Homes - Haverstraw is a funeral home in Haverstraw, New York. It is part of T.J. McGowan Sons Funeral Homes, a family of funeral home locations serving The Hudson Valley. The location provides burial services, cremation services, funeral and memorial services, pre-need planning, and ash scattering assistance.

Founded in 1879 by Thomas J. McGowan in the Village of Haverstraw, the business has operated under continuous family stewardship across multiple generations. Thomas J. McGowan Jr. assumed management of the firm in 1923 following his father's death; Francis Patrick McGowan, grandson of the founder, later served as a licensed funeral director and owner of multiple T.J. McGowan Sons locations across Rockland County, including Haverstraw and Garnerville. The current facility on Broadway was purpose-built in 1975 as a dedicated deathcare facility measuring 6,444 square feet, occupying a lot within the original 19th-century footprint of Haverstraw Village — the community historically recognized as the global center of brick manufacturing during the 1800s and early 1900s.

The facility includes a chapel, identification viewings, and private viewings. This location does not offer an on-site cemetery, on-site crematory, or pet cremation. Licensed grief therapy and legal or estate planning services are not available at this location.

Families frequently name individual staff members in reviews, an uncommon pattern that reflects consistently attentive, detail-oriented care throughout the arrangement process.
