Joseph V. Leahy Funeral Home, Inc.

Description

In 1973 Joseph V. Leahy decided that he was professionally qualified and well known in the Kingston area to establish of funeral business of his own. He joined Francis J McCardle who would close his small one chapel establishment on Henry Street, and form a new corporation. The Joseph V. Leahy Funeral Home, Inc. has offered distinctive compassion and professional service to our community since the door was opened by our founder Joseph V. Leahy on June 14, 1975. Joe greeted everyone with a smile, and of course a kiss for the ladies. Joe was known for his jovial way, and his compassion for everyone he had the honor to serve. Joe died on June 22, 1998. The same tradition, which our founder Joseph V. Leahy built, is continued under owner and president Bernard C. Gray. "Bernie", as he is known throughout the community, joined the Joseph V. Leahy Funeral Home, Inc. as a NYS licensed Funeral Director on July 1, 1988. He also served as Vice-President until the death of Mr. Leahy on June 22, 1998. Since joining the firm, Bernie has taken the funeral home to new levels of personalization and service, always staying ahead of the changes in the funeral profession. Bernie believes, "If we fail to offer our families every option available to them, then we are not doing our job". Cookie-cutter funerals are a thing of the past. Every service we offer and provide should be unique and personalized to the family and the loved one they are honoring. We feel a funeral is a celebration of a life and an opportunity to focus on the personal contributions and achievements in that life. Will, Bernie's son, joined the staff at Leahy's as a registered resident funeral director in 2012 after completing his academic session at American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Service in New York City and passing of his National Board Examination. He was a fully licensed funeral director in 2013 after passing the New York State Funeral Directors Exam. Will looks forward to serving the community with a higher level of service, respect, and professionalism that the community has grown to expect from the staff at the Joseph V. Leahy Funeral Home.
