About Browning-Forshay Funeral Home

Browning-Forshay Funeral Home traces its roots to 1953, when Robert Browning acquired the former Peter Mason Funeral Home on Lafayette Avenue in Hawthorne. George Forshay later joined the business, and the funeral home still operates from that original Lafayette Avenue location, which has been expanded over the decades to accommodate growing service needs.

The funeral home was named Hawthorne Company of the Year in 1996 and continues to serve Hawthorne and nearby Passaic County communities. Staff are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a single funeral director assigned to each family throughout the planning process.
