Your Friends & Neighbors For Generations

It was the spring of 1942 when John Bangs opened his funeral home on West Buffalo St., in the shadow of Washington Park, with the belief that his friends and neighbors in Ithaca and surrounding counties deserved an affordable, reliable and trustworthy funeral provider. From those humble beginnings 67 years ago, Bangs Funeral Home has grown to become the largest funeral service provider in Tompkins County by staying true to those beliefs. Following a brief stop on State St. in the late 1940's, the funeral home landed at their historic location at Green and Albany Streets in 1949 and has been operated by John's sons, Jeff and Kevin since John's death in the mid 1970's. Many things have changed in Ithaca since 1942 but one thing that hasn't changed is the comfort of knowing that when you drive past Bangs Funeral Home, Inc. the owners are inside. As Ithaca's only locally owned funeral home we understand the importance of community and supporting those who have made a sustained commitment to the Ithaca area.
