About Us

Our family, offering compassionate, professional and affordable services since 1926.

For almost 100 years the Millspaugh and Camerato families have provided Greene County with professional, compassionate and affordable funeral services. Millspaugh Funeral Home has come a long way from its early beginnings to a well-respected funeral home serving all cultures, faiths and religions.

Both Peter Hoyt and Nick Camerato realize they would not be able to carry on the traditions and standards originally set by Harry Millspaugh, Henry and Clarice Millspaugh and Mary Millspaugh Camerato Hoyt, if it were not for the dedication of their entire staff.

All of our employees at Millspaugh Camerato realize the depths of compassion and integrity needed to help families at their time of loss. Being a funeral director has always been more a calling than a profession. Bob Gaus has complete confidence that every last detail will be handled with care and compassion. The directors at Millspaugh Camerato are able to arrange national and international transfers, pre-arrangements and cremations, as well as traditional funerals and memorial services.

The first Millspaugh Funeral Home was founded at 40 Summit Avenue in 1926 by the late Harry and Lucy Tesch Millspaugh. In 1929, they moved to 175 Grandview Avenue and in 1942 moved to 257 Main Street. Their son, Henry, and grandson, Harry, began renovations of their fourth location and current residence in 1968.

In July of 1991 the Millspaugh Funeral Home became the Millspaugh Camerato Funeral Home, indicating the passing of the torch to the next generation: Henry and Clarice Millspaugh's daughter, Mary F. Millspaugh Camerato Hoyt.

For over 21 years Mary dedicated her life to the family business and the community of Catskill. In November 2012, following Mary’s untimely death, her son Nick Camerato became the 4th generation to own the family business. Mary’s husband, Peter Hoyt also remains active in the day to day operations.

In the summer of 2013, Robert J. Gaus, was named manager of the funeral home. Bob had previously worked with Henry, Clarice and Mary for over 30 years. Bob lives in Coxsackie and has been a licensed funeral director since 1979. He owned and operated, with his parents Robert and Catherine Gaus, the Simpson - Gaus Funeral Home, Kingston for three decades.

The death of a loved one is a deeply significant moment. Offering professional, compassionate and affordable services, allows Millspaugh Camerato Funeral Home to be there for you for prearrangements, at need services and aftercare.

Our staff offers knowledgeable options for burial or cremation arrangements, services at our funeral home, your place of worship or your home. A new merchandise center at the funeral home offers a variety of affordable caskets, burial/urn vaults, cremation urns/jewelry/keepsakes in a spacious and contemporary setting.

We are Catskill’s newest and oldest funeral home. It is our intention to help families before, during, and after they suffer the loss of a loved one. It is our hope to accomplish this with the aid of our improved facilities and broader range of personalized services. Our family and professional staff are always available in person, by telephone, or online to serve you.
