History

In 1949, Robert J. Babione of Lake Worth, Florida decided to become a funeral director. He met his wife, Helen, while attending Lake Worth High School, and they were married in 1950. Robert served 2 years in the United States Army during the Korean War. Upon his honorable discharge, he attended the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science in Texas. After graduating, Robert returned to Lake Worth and served his internship at E. Earl Smith and Sons Funeral Home.

Babione’s beginning

In 1957, Robert and his business partner built 2 funeral homes—1 in Delray Beach, Florida, and 1 in Lantana, Florida. In 1964, the 2 funeral directors sold their funeral home in Lantana and opened a new location in neighboring Boca Raton. The original building on North Federal Highway comprised only a visitation room, office, casket selection room and small preparation room.

In 1976, the Babione family became the sole owners Babione Funeral Home and expanded the location, adding a foyer, garage, covered carport, second visitation room, new preparation room and additional parking. They added on again in 1988. It merged with Kraeer Funeral Home in 2014 and now operates as Babione-Kraeer Funeral Home and Cremation Center from the North Federal Highway address.

A second Boca location

In early 1991, Robert and Helen began looking for a site in West Boca Raton to open a second funeral home. They bought property and a building on Calle Comercio Drive in 1992 and began construction in 1993. The new Babione Funeral Home opened on January 17, 1994.

In 1996, both Babione funeral homes became members of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers. Robert died on August 4, 2004. To this day, Helen carries on her husband’s legacy.
