Caring, Commitment, Community
Beyond the scope of the funeral services we provide to trusted members of our wider community, McCarthy Funeral Homes believes that our investment in that community is what develops relationships.
Focus on Community
As professionals, employers and community members we share a unique responisiblity to serve the common good. As a family owned business and residents of our County, we feel called to contribute in ways that are constructive and promote a better quality of life. Each of us at the McCarthy Funeral Homes give back to our communities in our own personal ways, thankful for the trust and commitment the community has placed in our business for 110 years.
For each family we serve, McCarthy Funeral Homes makes a gift in the name of their departed loved one to the charity or organization they choose. This list represents over 125 different community service groups that have directly effected, in someway, the life of each family or their loved one. We are proud of this philanthropic gesture and hope that by not limiting the scope of our consideration, that these funds serve the community at large more fully than if we earmarked one particular destination.
