North Haven Funeral has a rich history that dates back to 1872 when the Victorian-style home was built by Dr. Robert B. Goodyear, a respected local physician. Situated in the heart of the North Haven Historical Society, this iconic landmark has witnessed the passage of time and stands as a testament to its enduring legacy.
In 1952, Robert A. and Helen M. Rousseau had a vision. They purchased the property with the purpose of establishing a funeral home that would serve the community with compassion and dignity. On September 4th, 1953, their vision became a reality as they opened The North Haven Funeral Home, making their residence on the second floor alongside their two daughters.
Over the years, the funeral home underwent several expansions and additions. In 1957, a larger viewing chapel, preparation room, smoking lounge, and facilities for both gentlemen and ladies were included to accommodate the growing needs of the community. In 1967, recognizing the importance of offering a wide range of services, a casket display room and a three-car garage were added to the funeral home.
The Rousseau family passed on their legacy to Brian and Phyllis Havens on June 30th, 1983. With their two children, Jennifer and Luciano, the Havens took the reins and carried forward the tradition of compassion and dedication that had been established by their predecessors. Since then, the Havens family has invested in extensive renovations and redecorations, ensuring that the North Haven Funeral Home remains a place of solace and support for grieving families.
