The Overton Funeral Home - An Islip Landmark
The Overton Family has been serving the families of Islip and the surrounding areas since 1923.
The Overton Funeral Home was founded in 1923 by Arthur “Doc” Overton in a house on Main Street across from Monell Avenue (now the site of Starbucks). Five years later “Doc” moved his business to the John King House at 140 Main Street (near the lumber yard) where it remained for six years. In 1934 the present venue was established on the Vivian Estate at 172 Main Street. The house itself, built in the early 1880s, originally was one of two on the Atwood Property, near the former H.G. Timmerman Estate (just north of Havemeyer’s Bayberry Point) on Ocean Avenue.
