The March Family
It's been over 50 years since William Carrington and Julia Roberta March began their ministry of funeral service in Baltimore. Their commitment to compassionate care has been the driving force behind what is now the largest independent funeral home on the East Coast. And, together they built a multi-faceted family corporation, Marcorp Limited, which employs over 165 people.
"Our family’s intention has always been to enrich the lives of Baltimore families in as many ways as we can. The development of Marcorp Limited has brought much-needed, stable employment opportunities to our area." ~ Victor C. March
William and Julia passed the torch to their children, and dedicated staff back in 1988, having laid the foundation of community service and contribution. Today, the two March Family Funeral Home facilities serve more than 2,000 Baltimore families each year.
Long after the funeral the March Family provides continued emotional support to grieving families through their group grief support program, A Time of Sharing. Children who have lost a loved one can get special care through Roberta’s House, where they can find warm companionship of other children in similar circumstances, as well as bereavement counseling.
But the work of the March Family extends beyond funeral service and into the realm of education. William March was a firm believer in the power of education to change lives, and under his direction, over half a million dollars has been awarded as scholarships to deserving students.
In fact, William C. March generated so much warmth and goodwill within the community that five years after his passing, the former Harford Heights Middle School was renamed in his honor. The March Family also developed a mentoring program, with Shannon Graham and Tony Jones, local activists and educators. Their goal is to provide educational, social and mentoring opportunities to enhance the academic performance, social and community connections and career opportunities of participating youth.
