Dufresne & Cavanaugh Funeral Home was founded when Kevin Cavanaugh, who after serving the community of Watervliet for many years, decided to purchase the Robert Dufresne Funeral Home from Robert Dufresne in 1984, located on Old Loudon Road in Latham. The building at one time housed the former St. Ambrose Church. It was then renamed Dufresne & Cavanaugh Funeral Home and Kevin became the sole operator. In 1992, the funeral home was expanded to become a 5200 square feet facility, adding a newer more modern chapel, inviting foyer entrance and easier accessibility for the elderly and the handicapped and ample parking.
