What does it take to keep a family business thriving for more than two centuries?

In this powerful episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Rich sits down with Howard McComas IV, seventh-generation leader of McComas Funeral Home, to discuss a remarkable family legacy that has served Harford County since 1808.

But this conversation goes far beyond funeral services.

Howard shares lessons learned from helping families through grief, the importance of relationships, how funeral traditions are evolving, and why community involvement remains at the heart of everything the McComas family does. From honoring veterans and first responders to supporting families before, during, and after loss, Howard offers a perspective that is both deeply personal and incredibly inspiring.

You'll learn:

• How McComas Funeral Home has remained family-owned for 218 years
 • Why relationships are the foundation of lasting success
 • The changing role of funerals and celebrations of life
 • The importance of grief support and healthy healing
 • How veterans and first responders are honored through special programs
