History

In 1971, William Markey bought 2 funeral homes in Hamilton from William Dermody. The P.X. Dermody funeral homes were located on East Avenue South and King Street East. When William Markey died in 1978, his wife, Mary, and son, Chris, continued to run both.

To better serve the Hamilton community, Mary and Chris built a new funeral home, and in 1987, the Markey-Dermody Funeral Home opened to families.

"We were treated with respect and dignity, as well as our loved one. When I called the funeral home that my mom passed I was told that she will be taken care of by the team and not to worry. The other comment, that was made at the cemetery was when we all leave your mom will not be left alone, a team member will stay with her."
