⭐️ Meet The Team at Legacy Options ⭐️
Michael Hoyt | Owner/Partner, Funeral Director
As a Partner at Legacy Options Funeral and Cremation Services, Michael Hoyt oversees company wide operations while helping ensure every family we serve receives compassionate, professional, and dignified care.
Michael’s career in funeral service began while he was still in high school in his hometown of Amesbury, Massachusetts. It was there, working at a local funeral home, that he discovered funeral service was more than a profession. It was a calling to help others during some of life’s most difficult moments.
Michael went on to graduate Cum Laude from the New Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences in Boston in 1988 and received his Massachusetts Funeral Director license in 1990. He spent years serving Boston area funeral homes alongside his father in law, Michael C. Whyte.
In 1998, Michael and his wife, Carla, moved to Martha’s Vineyard, where he managed the island’s funeral home and became deeply involved in the community. His leadership included serving as President of the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce, President of the Rotary Club of Martha’s Vineyard, Chair of the Oak Bluffs School Committee, and Vice Chair of the All Island School Committee.
In 2018, Michael and his family relocated to Naples, Florida, where he once again partnered with his father in law at Legacy Options Funeral and Cremation Services. Today, Michael is a licensed Funeral Director in both Massachusetts and Florida, bringing decades of funeral service experience and leadership to the Legacy Options team.
We are proud to have Michael helping lead Legacy Options as we continue serving families with compassion, dignity, and exceptional care.
