Laundromat to replace longstanding
local funeral home
BY PATRICK ROCCHIO
A familiar name on East Tremont
Avenue for almost 50 years is gone.
Victor Quirolo and Sons Funeral
Home, which was located at 3176 E.
Tremont Avenue, closed its location in
the Bronx in the fall, when it sold its
Waterbury-LaSalle property.
However it plans to continue providing
its services at other locations.
“We are in the Bronx all of the
time,” said Gabriella Lequerique, Victor
Quirolo and Sons president and
owner “We still have a lot of customers
there that have pre-arrangements.”
Arrangements have been made to
use local chapels to provide for their
patron’s needs, she said.
Some families who have used Quirolo
facilities have done so for at least
a century.
The funeral home is currently operating
in Peekskill, NY. It had been
in the borough since 1971 when it relocated
from East Harlem, she said.
It was founded in the late 19th century
by Lequerique’s great grandfather
Victor Quirolo, who immigrated
from the town of Chiavari in northern
Italy.
For many years he ran the funeral
home with his wife, Giuseppina Guida
Quirolo, who was the heart and soul
of the facility, according to a company
profi le.
Later on, after establishing himself
as a boxer, one of their sons, Eddie
‘Guida’ Quirolo took over the
business, which was mentioned in an
article about Eddie’s boxing career in
The Ring magazine in 1929.
The company is now in its fourth
generation of family ownership.
At one time there were two Quirolo
named funeral homes in the area,
separated by about eight blocks. The
other business was named Louis Quirolo
Funeral Home at 3602 East Tremont
Avenue.
Both facilities started in East Harlem
and the families were related.
Louis Quirolo opened in the early 60s,
but closed in 2004.
After the building that housed Victor
Quirolo Funeral Home was sold, it
sat vacant for a short period.
Recently work commenced at the
property to construct a large laundromat.
Signs on the property’s parking
lot fence announce the coming of a
140-machine emporium .
The operator of the laundromat
wasn’t available for comment as of
press time.
It appears that a laundromat will replace the funeral home in Waterbury-LaSalle.
