The business traces its roots to 1932, when Thomas F. Wright Sr. opened the Thomas F. Wright Funeral Home. He operated it until 1973, when Norman G. Roy purchased the home and it eventually took the Wright-Roy name. Under Roy's ownership, an addition was built in 1976, stained-glass windows were installed in the main room in 1981, and the foyer and front entry were renovated the same year. Further additions were completed in 1986 and 2002. The firm also offers Remembrance Gatherings, an alternative service designed to honor, share, and remember a loved one's unique life story. Beyond its core work, Wright-Roy Funeral Home has contributed to the Leominster community in several ways: donating a time capsule to the city in 1984, serving as a corporate member of the Friends of the Leominster Public Library, running a local funding campaign through the National Funeral Directors Association for the WWII Monument, supporting local veterans organizations, and sponsoring youth athletics including Lassie League softball for 17 years, Leominster Little League and Babe Ruth, and the Leominster Hockey Travel team. Norman G. Roy was born and raised in Leominster, graduated from Leominster High School in 1969, and completed his funeral service education at the New England Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences in 1971, graduating with Highest Honors.

The funeral home is on West Street, roughly a third of a mile from Rockwell Pond, the Leominster Public Library, the Leominster Center for Excellence, the Leominster District Court, and Leominster City Hall.

As one of Leominster's longest-operating funeral homes, serving families from the same West Street location for over nine decades, Wright-Roy Funeral Home continues to provide traditional and alternative services rooted in its long local history.
