The Fourth of July celebration brings out the best in Irondequoit.
Just one example: If you want to park in one of the closest lots to the festivities on the Irondequoit Town Hall grounds, you have to look no further than the Paul W. Harris Funeral Home, Inc., at the southeast corner of Kings Highway and Titus Avenue.
For years now, the funeral home has charged for parking, but with all proceeds going to Sunset House, Irondequoit’s comfort care, or hospice, home for the terminally ill.
Volunteers, including Boy Scouts from Troops 183 and 356 in Irondequoit, collect the parking fees, just $3 this year.
As a result of parking for this year’s two-day Fourth of July Celebration, a total of $1,831 was donated to Sunset House.
The funeral home started the benefit program for Sunset House in 2000.
Laurie Holmes, the new director at Sunset House, and board member Mary Ellen Jones were on hand at the funeral home last week to thank the Scouts and the Harris family for its ongoing efforts.
