Two generations, Serving our community.

It is our promise to provide service, support, and comfort to those in need. Please use our website as a means of finding information and resources to make informed decisions and connect with our licensed directors.

Walter J. Kent Funeral Home is locally owned and family operated in Elmira, NY. Opened in 2003, our funeral home was the completion of the founder's life long dream to serve families of his community under his own roof.
As of March 2014, we now operate as a father & son funeral service.

We proudly serve all faiths and offer professional, personalized service to those who have endured a loss as well as those seeking to plan ahead for the future. Our website serves to provide information for those in need as well as a place to leave condolences and memories for friends and loved ones.
​Take time to learn about our family owned funeral home and the services we offer our community.

We are honored to continue serving Elmira and surrounding communities as a second generation family profession.
