History

Established in 1949.

We have a long tradition of excellence in serving our neighbors with caring and compassion: Our roots trace back to 1889, when William K. Kukuk, (great-​grandfather of Eric) became a funeral director.

After returning from World War II in 1949, Eric’s father William S. Keyser founded Keyser Funeral & Cremation Service as it exists today. Eric, now a fourth-​generation funeral director with over thirty years of experience, joined his father in the business in 1974. Eric’s son Luke, who joined the family business in 2010, became the fifth generation of Keysers to serve the Kingston and Port Ewen/​Town of Esopus area communities.

Also in 2010, the Keysers added A. Carr & Son Funeral Home on Lucas Avenue in Kingston to their family of funeral homes. Now with three convenient locations, the Keyser family continues to proudly serve the members of the Kingston and Port Ewen communities during their times of need.
