Welcome

Burns is a fourth generation funeral home originally founded by E.P. Burns in the early 1900's. It was carried by J.P. Burns and then by Sehl Burns, and was located on West Onondaga Street. With the acquisition of Garfield Funeral Home on Westcott Street in 1979, the business became Burns-Garfield Funeral Home.

The new facility, located at 3175 East Genesee Street, has parking for 100+ cars and a seating capacity of 350 people, and is completely handicap accessible. Selection of the casket, monument, vault, urn and flowers can all be made at the time of arrangement.

We believe that children, as well as adults, should feel as comfortable as they would in their own home. This is why we have a children's area with tables, chairs, books, vcr, movies and toys to help them feel welcome.

We also have a collection of books, tapes and movies to help people of all ages and beliefs understand and cope with the various stages of the death process.
