In 1932 Ralph and Marie Damiano opened their home to the community of Long Branch. The Dutch Colonial style home was built in the 1890's and purchased by the family in 1931. It was their hope that they could give the people of the area one of the most modern and complete homes of its kind, and they did. Ralph and Marie's involvement in their community helped them to understand the needs of their friends and neighbors. Through the years, trusting relationships have been created which have lasted for generations and for that we are grateful. In 1968 Ralph and Marie's daughter, Vida assumed the position of Manager and held that title until 2001. In January 2001, Vida's son R.J. "Bud" assumed the position of manager, continuing the direction, management and along with his sister Diane*, ownership of the funeral home into the third generation.

Now, under the direction, management and ownership of the third generation, the tradition of community involvement continues. At the Damiano Funeral Home, we take special pride in knowing that as a family, our service embodies dignity and sympathetic understanding, which relieves the family of all the minute details at their time of bereavement. No matter how small or how large a funeral, the Damiano Funeral Home is prepared to handle your needs in the most satisfactory and conscientious manner.
