Our History...
Four generations of family tradition.

Even though our family has been assisting the Venice community for more than 40 years, our tradition of service dates back to 1932. My father, John J. Farley, embarked on a lifetime of funeral service by opening his own funeral home in Indianapolis in 1932. He soon recruited his father, Omer Farley, and his brothers to work alongside him. After my father sold the funeral home to his brothers, he moved to Venice in 1961, and opened our funeral home a year later.

In 1970, the company expanded further, and now operates a chapel in North Port. Our family’s dedication to compassionate service caused the company to grow, and in 1987, the Venice facilities of the Rawles Funeral Home were acquired.

Today, the company is managed by myself and my wife Joanne. The fourth generation of the family, represented by my daughters Michelle and Mary, joined the profession in the 1990’s. Michelle’s husband, John Williams, is a Licensed Funeral Director and maintains active involvement with Venice Memorial Gardens, our beautiful memorial park. At present, there are six family members actively involved in serving the community through our funeral homes.

We invite you to call or stop by to meet our family and staff. Our doors are always open to you.
