- The Adzima Family

Joseph Adzima established our funeral home in 1914 on the corner of Maple and Helen Streets in the east side of Bridgeport.

Joseph’s son, Alexander, began to work with him in the business in 1929. They developed a reputation of great respect and became well known for their courteous service and honesty. In 1936, the funeral home was moved to a larger facility at 591 Arctic Street. Joseph died in 1946, leaving his son Alexander, along with his wife Helen, to carry on the family traditions. Alexander’s son, Richard, joined the funeral home in 1957, making him the third generation in the family business. Together, they purchased the historical Isaac Lewis homestead located at 50 Paradise Green Place in Stratford in 1976.

The building, which is a landmark in the community, sits on the picturesque Paradise Green. After three years of renovations to update the circa 1850 building, Richard and his father moved their business and held the first funeral in the new funeral home on February 19, 1979. Alexander passed away on May 19, 1984, leaving his legacy to be carried out by his son and his wife, Eleanor. Richard’s sons became the fourth generation of Adzimas to enter the family business: Matthew in 1986 and Peter in 1988.

Today, the third and fourth generations - Richard, Matthew, and Peter - walk in the footsteps of their ancestors, carrying on the tradition of serving the community with respect, dignity, and dedication.
