History
Established in 1906.
In the early 1900’s Nicola Piro opened Nicola Piro’s Son’s, Inc. funeral parlor on 153 Navy Street, near the present Brooklyn Navy Yard area. The funeral home was an important part of the community at the time since it was where the bodies of Italian immigrants who worked in the Navy Yards were prepared before they were shipped by boat to Italy for burial. In the 1940’s the funeral home was moved by eminent domain in order to begin construction of the Brooklyn-Queens Expresway to the corner of Vanderbilt and Dekalb avenue where it still stands today, right in the middle of the beautiful and historic Fort Green /Clinton Hill sections of Brooklyn.
Meet the Business Owner
Richard C.
Business Owner
1990, the current owner and licensed Funeral Director Richard D. Costa, was looking for a place to run his funeral «trade service» out of, purchased the funeral home and moved his business. As a «trade man» Richard serviced several funeral homes preparing the deceased for viewings at their establishments that did not have the facilities or staff to accomodate such work. Not so much a funeral home but a «trade house» Piro Funeral Home, Inc. began it’s transformation back to a full-functioning funeral home as Richard became part of the community and in response to the growth in population and the need for a family operated «neighborhood» funeral home.
