Welcome to the Team at Murphy Funeral Homes of Rhode Island

Please join us in welcoming Murphy Funeral Homes - Urquhart-Murphy Funeral Home in Warwick and Cranston-Murphy Funeral Home in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, to the Milestone Funeral Partners family.


Founded by the late Ed Murphy, Murphy Funeral Homes reflects his lifelong dedication to funeral service and his deep care for the families he served. A respected member of Rhode Island’s funeral service community, Ed built a legacy of compassion, professionalism, and trust that continues through the work of the firm’s dedicated, long-tenured team.


We are honored to welcome Location Manager John Weeden and the entire Murphy Funeral Homes team. As we begin this partnership, we recognize both the opportunity and the responsibility to honor Ed’s legacy, preserve the relationships he built, and support the people who carry his values forward each day.



Welcome to Milestone! We look forward to working alongside you as you continue serving the Warwick and North Kingstown communities with care, dignity, and compassion.
