Dunphy's Funeral Home located at 366 Conception Bay Highway, Holyrood.
Dunphy's Funeral Home had its beginnings three generations ago. It began with Michael C. Dunphy in 1892. He was approached by families to build a casket for their loved ones on an as-needs basis. Over time he began providing transportation of the deceased to the church and then to the cemetery. At the time, a wake was held in the deceased's home.
William J. Dunphy became the second generation undertaker and together with his wife, Marjorie, in 1970 opened Conception Bay Centre's first funeral home in which to wake their loved ones. By 1980 there was such a demand for the facility that an extension to the funeral home was constructed.
In 1996, Kenneth M. Dunphy succeeded William and operated the business with the help of his sister Barbara until his death on September 26, 2017. Barbara continued operating the business until August 16, 2019, when Ron Fitzpatrick purchased the funeral home and assumed the day to day operations of running the business. In 1998, a major construction saw the funeral home grow and again in 2002, another addition was added. Now Dunphy's Funeral Home can offer its clients a very modern setting in which to create a loving farewell for their loved ones.
Dunphy’s aim is that "every family is treated as if they were a part of our own family."
Directly order flowers, view and sign the condolences book, share memories and more to celebrate lives of those dearly missed.
