New Haven - Central Location - Maps & Directions

The Bristol House

The Governor’s Home, built in 1845 in Wooster Square, is still surrounded by some of the finest homes of that era, including the Bristol House (pictured on the left). The present owners of these estate homes have admirably restored and maintained the beauty and architecture of these buildings in this Historic District. Historic Front Entrance Maresca & Sons, in preserving the traditions of the past and its quiet home-like atmosphere, has carefully blended in the newest conveniences for the added comfort of the families it serves. These include spacious, comfortable viewing and reception areas, attended off-street parking, handicap accessibility and elevator assistance for casket bearers. Each funeral chapel is located in a separate wing of the building with individual entrance areas to insure more comfort and privacy to the families during visitation and services. Our home is located on beautiful Historic Wooster Square conveniently serving families in the Greater New Haven County including the communities of East Haven, West Haven, North Haven, Branford, Orange, and Hamden.  Today's roads and highways make the central location easily accessible to even the most outlying communities in a matter of minutes.

 Parking

The new covered entrance to The Governor’s Home provides added comfort and protection to the family and visitors, especially during inclement weather. Ample off-street parking accommodations are offered on well-lighted paved lots with separate entrances and exits. On the day of the service, the procession of funeral cars is well organized on the premises without any confusion. This assures a safer control of the cortege by permitting all vehicles to leave the funeral home together on the way to the church or cemetery.
