Newcomer Expands in New York

We are pleased to announce that Cannon Funeral Home and Jones Funeral Home in Colonie, New York have joined Newcomer Funeral Service Group. The funeral homes will continue to be led by John H. Cannon, who has served thousands of Capital Region families throughout his 44-year career. This acquisition complements Newcomer’s existing presence in the area, where we serve families from locations in Colonie and Latham.



President John Newcomer said, “Our family has known John Cannon for many years, and we are pleased to welcome John and his associates to our company and support them as they provide exceptional funeral and cremation services to the Capital Region.”

Speaking of the transition, John Cannon shared, “My team and I are honored to serve this community and care for families as if they were our own. By joining with the Newcomer family, I am confident that together with our superb staff, Cannon Funeral Home and Jones Funeral Home will continue to provide the best care possible to the Capital Region.”

The funeral homes will continue to operate under the same name, with the same great team. Newcomer will provide additional support as needed to continue the Cannon and Jones tradition of excellence.
