Our History

In 1974, Samuel S. Buranich, Jr. purchased a landmark building on West Genesee Street in Camillus, a short drive from Syracuse. It was formerly the Lone Acre Tourist Home, operated by Charles and Ethel Dygert.



Retaining the stately colonial-style exterior, Mr. Buranich established his family funeral home with a deep commitment to helping his neighbors all around Syracuse in times of loss with personal attention, caring, and compassion.


In 2000, his son, Samuel III, joined the firm after earning his degree in Mortuary Science at SUNY Canton. Today, the firm offers the Camillus community a staff of your neighbors, all committed professionals who are ready to assist and support you at any time of the day or night.

We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.

Tribute Video

We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or USB thumb drives of the video are also available.

Ordering Flowers

We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.

Sharing Service Details

We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or X page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
