History

Fogarty Funeral Home was established by Thomas G. Fogarty in 1889.

The early years of Fogarty Funeral Home

The original funeral home was nothing more than a storefront until 1930, when Thomas purchased the adjacent lot and built a new state of the art facility. With a brand-new building and growing clientele, Thomas needed to hire additional funeral directors to assist with his increasing business. In 1931, John J. Hogan Sr. joined the firm as the licensed manager and purchased the business from Thomas G. Fogarty in 1946. This was the beginning of the Hogan family legacy, which is carried on today.

The legacy of Jack Hogan Jr.

In 1960, John J. (Jack) Hogan Jr. joined the firm as a licensed funeral director and in 1965 he became the manager. Jack’s dedication to the profession he loved led him to give back to the community. He served on many local, state and national funeral associations. He served as president of the Metropolitan Funeral Directors Association, the New York State Funeral Directors Association and the National Funeral Directors Association, while still maintaining an active role at the funeral home until his death in 2010.

A growing business

In 1985, while Jack worked to develop and promote the integrity of the funeral industry, his son, Robert, stepped in to help with the family business. Robert became the licensed manager in 1991. In 1993, Fogarty Funeral Home became a member of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers. In 1995, the funeral home merged with Thomas M. Quinn & Sons, Inc. to become Quinn-Fogarty Funeral Home. Quinn-Fogarty relocated to its current modern facility in September 2014 and shares the building with Frederick Funeral Home.

Continuing the Hogan legacy

Today, Robert Hogan continues to carry on the family legacy as the current manager of Quinn-Fogarty Funeral Home. He and his staff are dedicated to maintaining the highest level of compassion and service families have come to expect.
