Our Story
Donaldson Funeral Home Continues to Serve the Community for over 75 years under new ownership.

The Donaldson Funeral Home, Inc., located at 100 North Main Street in the Village of Massena, has been serving families at their most vulnerable time of need for over 75 years.
Beginning in 1933, Vernon J. Donaldson, joined Lodus Brookhover at the funeral home at 33 North Main Street. In 1941, he along with his wife, Evelyn, purchased the home of her grandparents, converting it to its now established location. Throughout many years with their sons, David and Gary, longtime dedicated employee, Bruce P. Bombard, and in the most recent ten years, Chad W. Green, they have given “Personal, Yet Professional” funeral service to many.
On January 1, 2010, the tradition of a locally owned funeral home continues at the Donaldson Funeral Home, Inc. with the retirement of the Donaldson Family and the sale of the corporation to Chad W. Green, an employee for the past 10 years.
