History

Established in 1925.

Homer E. McCoy, Sr. was such a legacy builder. In the mid 1920’s, he sold his interest in People’s Pharmacy and he, together with his partner, founded McCoy & Harrison Funeral Home, which quickly earned distinction as a premier mortuary in the Houston Third Ward community. Renowned for its quality service and heartfelt compassion, this establishment set a stellar example of business acumen for contemporary as well as future proprietors. Upon Mr. McCoy’s death, his wife, Blanche, took over the business with the assistance of their only child. Homer E. McCoy, Jr. became the head of McCoy & Harrison Funeral Home in the 1950’s. A teacher and counselor for many years in the Houston Independent School District, he found a way to balance school and the family business. In the early 1970’s, his college-​educated daughters took the helm of Leadership, which is still in place today. Helen McCoy Abernathy became Funeral Director in charge and Brenda McCoy Lee became Corporate Houston Secretary.
