Our Story

The Barranco Family and Staff are your neighbors who will stand by your side during a very difficult time. We see you around the community, in church, at the store and at community events. You may find comfort knowing that a friend or familiar face is there to assist you.

We believe our community is important and want to help make it a great place to live.  


We volunteer and provide support for many community organizations such as Hospice of the Chesapeake, Local Churches, Partners in Care, SPAN, Anne Arundel County Police and the Earleigh Heights Fire Department.


We are here to help every family in our community with caring and professional services.  


Robert and Catherine Barranco moved to Severna Park in 1960 and built the Severna Park Funeral Home of Robert S. Barranco.


Severna Park had a welcoming small town feel.  Robert (Bob) and Catherine (Kitty) enjoyed boating and wanted to be close to the water. They also felt that Severna Park would be a nice community to live and raise their family.

Bob and Kitty had three sons and a daughter,  Bob, Jim, John and Carolyn.  Over the years, they all have worked at the funeral home.  John's daughter, Kathleen Barranco Bollino, became a funeral director in 2017.


The name of the funeral home changed to Barranco & Sons, P.A. Severna Park Funeral Home and currently the name is Barranco Severna Park Funeral Home & Cremation Care, P.A.  


Robert Barranco, Sr. passed away in 2003 and Robert Barranco, Jr. past away in 2017.  


Jim Barranco retired in 2020 after 38 years of service.  


Currently, Catherine Barranco, John Barranco, Kathleen Barranco Bollino and Carolyn Barranco Russell, with a dedicated staff, continue the legacy of providing caring and professional services to our community.
