Caspian man Dominic Brunamonti to be honored with memorial service
A June 11 farewell at St. Cecilia combined church rites, Coast Guard military honors and Resthaven burial for Caspian resident Dominic Brunamonti.
Caspian’s St. Cecilia Catholic Church and the Jacobs Funeral Home of Iron River anchored the farewell for Dominic L. Brunamonti, 74, whose life connected parish, veterans and family ties across Iron County. A visitation was held Thursday, June 11, from 10 to 10:45 a.m. at the Iron River funeral home, followed by an 11 a.m. memorial service at St. Cecilia. Fr. Gregory Veneklase was named to offer the Mass of Christian Burial, interment was in Resthaven Cemetery, and the West Side Veterans accorded military rites at the graveside.
Brunamonti died Thursday, May 7, 2026. He was born Sept. 14, 1951, in Iron River, the son of the late Victor and Ann (Schiavo) Brunamonti, and his life remained rooted in the same local institutions that shaped many Iron County families. He attended St. Agnes Grade School and Iron River High School before serving in the U.S. Coast Guard from 1968 to 1972. He later attended Ferris State College and worked in the U.S. Merchant Marine for 42 years, a long career that gave his obituary a public-service dimension beyond the usual family notice.
The memorial arrangements reflected that mix of church, military and community identity. St. Cecilia Catholic Church in Caspian stood at the center of the service, while the funeral home in Iron River handled the visitation and Resthaven Cemetery provided the final resting place. Memorial donations may be made in his memory to St. Cecilia Catholic Church, another sign that the parish remained a meaningful part of his local footprint.
Brunamonti is survived by his brother, Victor Brunamonti of Bloomfield, Indiana, his nephew Eric Brunamonti, and great-nieces and great-nephews Elizabeth and Madison. He is also remembered by extended family and many good friends. In Iron County, where obituary notices often serve as one of the most closely read community records, the inclusion of West Side Veterans military rites and Resthaven burial placed Brunamonti within a familiar pattern of public remembrance for residents with military service.
