Shannon McArthur
Pre-Need Director
Shannon is from Coventry, RI and graduated from Bay View Academy in Riverside, RI in 2013. As part of her Bay View experience, she was able to find her love for funeral service with the School to Career Program. With this program, she was able to intern at a local funeral home she met during a field trip with her Death and Dying class. This gave her the opportunity to truly discover what it takes to be a funeral director and embalmer beyond what society sees.
Once she graduated, she continued her education by earning an associate’s degree in Funeral Service from Mount Ida College in 2015, a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Johnson and Wales University in 2017, and her MBA in Supply Chain Management from Bryant University in 2019. While continuing with her higher education, she worked full time as an apprentice and then a funeral director. She is a licensed embalmer, funeral director and life insurance agent in MA and RI who specializes in prearranging funeral services. Shannon joined our team in 2025. She currently resides in Cranston, RI and when not working, she enjoys playing softball and spending time with her family, friends, dog Daisy and cats Binx and Blue.
