How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
My father, Robert G. Brown, opened his first funeral home in Burrillville in 1958. I've worked within the funeral industry since 1970. John Lalumiere worked in the funeral industry in the Woonsocket area since 1972 and with Brown Funeral Homes since 1998.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Our personal service and our staff's commitment to detail easily allow us to stand well above our competition. Also, our facilities are beautiful, functional, well maintained and still family owned and operated.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We own and operate three Northern RI area funeral homes; Brown in Burrillville, Keene in North Smithfield and Egidio DiPardo & Sons in Woonsocket. We opened the Keene location in 2000 and obtained E. Dipardo from Elaine DiPardo in 2008. We have no current plan to expand again.
