New York funeral home acquires another location
This article from North Country Now of New York announces the acquisition of the Green Funeral Home of Gouverneur, New York, by the Frary Funeral Home. From the company’s website which you can access here, it appears that the Gouverneur location will be the 6th location operated by Frary.
The article from North Country Now makes the following statement, “Both businesses have deep-rooted histories as multi-generational family businesses, committed to serving the community.”
It also appears from the article that Wesley McGill, a funeral director at Frary’s had been a funeral director previously at the Green Funeral Home. It appears that Mr. McGill was born in Gouverneur and a natural fit to now be working with the Gouverneur location.
According to the newspaper article the press release also made the following comments, “With Wes’s guidance, Frary Funeral Home looks forward to continuing its tradition of excellence while offering fresh, thoughtful solutions to meet the evolving needs of our community. . . .We are committed to serving Gouverneur and the surrounding area with care and compassion, just as both Frary Funeral Home and Green Funeral Home have for generations.”

Funeral Director Daily take: A viewpoint of mine is that the anticipated sale of existing funeral homes by so many owners who are reaching retirement age is happening. It’s been predicted for years and I now think it is upon us.
A simple suggestion to those funeral homes who want to expand is now is the time to make sure that your finances are in order and you have the resources available to do such. I would also suggest that if you have not talked to potential acquisition site owners, now is the time for that also . . . before you miss the opportunity.
