In 1895, the first Chris Corrigan worked as a local fireman in the Central Falls, Rhode Island community. Our great-great grandfather used horse & wagon to offer assistance lifting and transporting heavy items— specifically caskets.
During this time, funeral parlors were uncommon and people were waked in their homes. Urban areas such as Central Falls, Pawtucket, Providence, etc. contained multi-family homes with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors…without an elevator in sight. Chris Corrigan noticed a need to help neighbors with installing rigging systems and hoisting caskets through windows and safely to the sidewalk.
Officially established in 1900, Chris’s concept evolved throughout the 20th century as needs changed and people migrated from urban areas to spacious suburbs. Corrigan Movers became the trusted local movers to call and five generations of our moving business have serviced New England ever since.

Boxes available for purchase.
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
