NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I., July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rhode Island – For over 160 years, the Quinn family has been a pillar of compassion and trusted care for families across Rhode Island. Now, with the establishment of Patrick Quinn Funerals and Cremations, the legacy continues—one that honors tradition while embracing a deeply personal and modern approach to funeral services.
With three locations—Tucker-Quinn in Smithfield, Fagan-Quinn in North Kingstown, and Potvin-Quinn in West Warwick—Patrick Quinn Funerals and Cremations carries forward the family's commitment to serving local communities with respect, dignity, and warmth. Their mission is to provide more than a service; they aim to create meaningful celebrations that weave together the moments, memories, and connections that define a life well-lived.
"Watching Christopher lead our North Kingstown location has been one of the greatest privileges of my career," said Patrick Quinn. "He has an incredible ability to form genuine connections with families and craft services that truly reflect the lives being celebrated—whether it's a heartfelt gathering in a backyard or a unique ceremony at Fort Getty. Chris's work redefines what a funeral home can offer, making each service a profound and meaningful experience."
Patrick Quinn's decades of leadership laid the foundation for what the family business represents today: a place where tradition is honored, families are embraced, and care is always personal. Now leading the next generation, Christopher Quinn brings energy, vision, and a deep sense of purpose to the business. With a strong grounding in the rituals that have defined the Quinn legacy and a modern sensitivity to what today's families seek, Christopher has reshaped how end-of-life ceremonies are experienced—offering everything from timeless church services to creative, unconventional tributes that reflect the individuality of each life lived.
Alongside him, Jessie Quinn—his wife and the first female member of the Quinn family to answer the calling—brings heartfelt compassion and meticulous attention to every detail. Her calm strength and unwavering support ensure that every family feels comforted and cared for throughout their time of loss.
"My father, Patrick, has been an incredible example of leadership, strength, and showing me what it means to serve families with heart and purpose," shared Christopher Quinn. "I'm inspired every day by the ripple effect one person can have on the lives of others. Bringing people together to share love, stories, and memories during times of loss is a privilege that gives my work deep meaning. It's about more than honoring a life—it's about fostering the bonds that hold us together. I hope every family we serve leaves a loved one's farewell saying, 'They would have loved this.'"
Jessie Quinn echoed this sentiment: "Patrick and Christopher have an amazing gift for offering exactly what families need—whether it's comfort, quiet understanding, or laughter. I'm honored to work alongside them, and my hope is that we not only serve our community today but also inspire our three daughters to continue this tradition of care and connection."
While the Quinn family leads with heart and heritage, they are quick to recognize the talented, compassionate team that surrounds them. "We are incredibly fortunate to work alongside an exceptional staff," said Christopher Quinn. "Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care make a profound difference in the lives of the families we serve. This work is never done alone—it's a true team effort, and we're proud of the people who represent our name every day." he added, noting longtime funeral directors John Grover, who has served families across Rhode Island for over 45 years, including the past 20 at Tucker-Quinn in Smithfield, and Steven DiLorenzo, a West Warwick native and director with over 42 years of experience, now serving his own community at Potvin-Quinn following the retirement of Paul Potvin earlier this year.
Together, Patrick, Christopher, and Jessie Quinn—along with their dedicated staff—represent a powerful blend of time-honored traditions and personalized, modern care. The Quinn family remains deeply committed to creating moments of comfort, connection, and remembrance—helping families celebrate life in the way their loved ones would have wanted.
