Our History

Our History

The history of Costner-Maloy and Brown Funeral Home dates back to the early 1900's and is the oldest operating funeral business in Newport.

Though ownership changed several times throughout the century, the original mission continues to this day: the commitment to serve the Newport community with dignity, transparency, and compassion.

Most recently Costner-Maloy Funeral Home and Brown Funeral Home merged all business operations and now serve families from a single location at 338 East Main street.
