Frank was followed by his son Thomas F. Trainor who has spent his life in funeral service and has been a licensed funeral director for fifty years. In 1978, Thomas opened a second funeral home on Warwick Avenue to accommodate families who had moved to the suburbs over the years. Thomas' son, Michael J. Trainor joined the staff in 1988. A graduate of Fairfield University and the New England Institute at Mt. Ida College, he currently operates the funeral home with his father.
