McCarthy Funeral Homes

McCarthy Funeral Homes has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in Franklin County since 1895, serving families in Greenfield and the surrounding communities with dignity and respect. Proudly operating two convenient locations—the historic Greenfield chapel at 36 Bank Row and the Turners Falls location at 14 Prospect Street—the funeral home is deeply rooted in the local area, committed to honoring diverse religious, philosophical, and personal beliefs. Under the dedicated leadership of director John C. Davis, the McCarthy team upholds a tradition of caring service, helping families create meaningful and personalized tributes that celebrate the lives of their loved ones.

As a full-service funeral home, McCarthy Funeral Homes offers a comprehensive range of options to accommodate every family’s needs. Traditional burial services and respectful cremation services are available, along with a variety of personalized touches such as memorial keepsakes, flowers, and video tributes. Understanding that planning ahead provides peace of mind, the funeral home specializes in pre-planning arrangements, funeral trusts, and assistance with Massachusetts long-term health care applications. Families can also take advantage of grief support resources, including a year-long daily email program designed to offer comfort and guidance during the difficult first year after a loss.

The facilities are designed to be accessible to all, featuring wheelchair accessible entrances and parking, ensuring that every guest can attend services comfortably. On-site parking is available at both locations. In addition to core funeral and cremation services, McCarthy Funeral Homes provides a wealth of resources to assist families through every step of the process. These include detailed information on veterans’ benefits, headstones, and burial flags, as well as guides on funeral etiquette, what to do when death occurs, Social Security benefits, and even talking to children about loss. The website offers an up-to-date obituary section with an email notification list, a guestbook for sharing memories, and a section for family testimonials, reflecting the high level of satisfaction (the business holds a 4.5-star rating from community members).

McCarthy Funeral Homes is more than a provider of services; it is a community partner that extends its support long after the funeral. From helping families navigate Massachusetts’ long-term care applications to offering free daily grief messages, the staff demonstrates a steadfast dedication to caring, commitment, and community.
