Beyond the scope of the funeral services we provide to the wider community, we at McCarthy Funeral Home believe that investment in our neighbors is what local business is all about...

As professionals, employers and community members we share a unique responsiblity to serve the common good. As a family owned business and residents of Franklin 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 community in our own personal way, thankful for the trust and commitment the community has placed in our business for 118 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 influenced, 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.

The residents of Franklin County are fortunate to be in the midst of so many fine organizations and services, each of them committed to making our area a better place. Here is just a sampling of the associations, community groups, non-profit organizations and committees on which the management and staff of McCarthy Funeral Homes have volunteered or supported.
