Brian McCarty
Many children know at a young age what they want to be when they grow up. For some it is a doctor, lawyer or teacher, but for Brian McCarty, he wanted to be a funeral director. While attending a funeral for a family member, Brian found himself absorbed and fascinated by the proceedings and began to read about the profession. He sought out members in the funeral profession to get first hand knowledge and to find out exactly what this occupation would entail. Brian was fourteen at the time and was well on his way to his career. After completing high School, Brian’s dream to become a funeral director was about to begin as he was accepted into the Mortuary Science department at SUNY Canton in upstate New York and eventually becoming the Vice President of The Mortuary Science Association. Once his schooling was complete, Brian passed the necessary examinations given by the National Board and the State of New York to obtain his Funeral Director/Embalming license. For seven years Brian worked in Rochester, NY but felt that he needed to make a change to have a greater opportunity to use the skills he went to school for. Brian McCarty joined the Green Funeral Home family in 2009 after passing the State of Connecticut licensure exam. While on the job, the emotions that Brian experiences can range from gratitude as expressed by a thankful family to complete despair upon the death of someone too young. In order to balance these emotions, Brian enjoys camping in upstate New York with his wife Amy and their pug Bowie. When time allows, Brian and Amy like to attend Broadway shows and concerts.
