Kostanski Funeral Home of Greenfield and Turners Falls is now a third generation family business. In 1952 founders Henry A. and Irene R. Kostanski opened the Kostanski Funeral Home at 220 Federal Street, Greenfield. In 1953, together with Henry's brother Walter T. Kostanski, they established the funeral home at 1 Kostanski Square, Turners Falls. The business has been operated by Michael and William Kostanski and Karen Larabee. Michael retired in April 2013 after helping and serving families for over 25 years.

The caring and professionalism instilled by Henry and Irene for over 60 years still continues as the Kostanski tradition and serves all faiths throughout the area from both locations. The Kostanski Funeral Home is a member of the New England Funeral Trust and specializes in pre-arranged funerals.
