Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Bedford

“Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for Maurine and Christine through this hard time, they are compassionate and truly went above and beyond through these trying times. Truly top notch professionals with hearts of gold“

“Everything about Douglass Funeral Home is top notch, from the location in Lexington very close to multiple churches and houses of worship, the facility itself with several well-appointed rooms, the arrangements made, the viewing hours arrangements, and procession to the cemetery.
The funeral home is just across the street from Saint Brigit's Church, and the staff at Douglass Funeral Home coordinated my mother's funeral with the staff at the church extraordinarily well. The staff members are professional, friendly, and helpful.

I highly recommend Douglass Funeral home for a classy, respectful, and traditional funeral in the Lexington area.“

“A funeral home that does very professional work. In a time of great sadness, this takes much burden off the family of a loved one.“

“Incredible people that went the extra mile to give me some financial relief during one of the hardest times of my life.“

“It seems such a strange thing to make sure to write a review the day after a funeral, but I didn't want to lose any details on just how compassionate and amazing our experience with Brezniak was when we laid my father to rest. Nathan and Elizabeth were over and beyond wonderful, kind, meticulous, and so compassionate during the worst of times for my family.

The main things that are important for others to know are that everything was explained, multiple times if necessary. Everything was documented and itemized. We felt no pressure for anything that wasn't needed but our wants were always placed at the forefront of the plan. We were treated so well and I wish I could do more than a review to show our thanks.

During the course of the service and transfer, the Brezniak team was handling details, directing mourners, providing water, seating, interacting with the cemetery, and entertaining my nephew. Again, I have only the highest praise for Nathan who ensured that my father would receive an honor guard and his full military honors, even though the funeral was the day after Memorial day.

Losing a loved one is the worst thing, but it could have been worse by millions if Brezniak had not been taking care of us.“

“My family has been with Sheila/Hickey funeral home for decades. She does a wonderful job. A very warm and caring person. When my mother died over 14 years ago, Sheila had merged with Brown and Sons by then. They all did an incredible job with everything. I still have the original deed to my grandfather's plot. Unfortunately, I do not have the deed to my stepfather's plot which started with my step-great grandfather. My stepbrother is his only living relative left, at least on his branch. However, until I became disabled, I went to their grave as well as my own family's grave which was not far from my grandfather's grave. The funeral home took care of all of them and we are very appreciative of their services. Thank you.“

“Gina, Jean, Doug, and Colleen are incredible. Their compassion and care during the heartbreaking loss of our infant meant the world to us. We were deeply touched by their empathy and support. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and caring team to help us through such a difficult time“

“Our family appreciates very much the fine and professional service Lane offered. Caring and kind across all levels and interactions.“

“The people we dealt with were very accommodating and pleasant to work with. The facilities are clean and comfortable. Tracy Best was amazing. She took care of every possible detail.“

“I can't recommend Nardone funeral home enough. They handled my father's funeral in 2021, and my grandmothers funeral last week. Both of them went through lengthy hospital stays before they passed away. They did a beautiful job with both of them, which was very important to my mother and our family. My father couldn't have a traditional wake due to the pandemic, but Carmine and Christine made sure my mother and my uncle were able to say goodbye to him for a few hours. They were together for 51 years, and I appreciate that more than I can explain.“

“We greatly appreciated the services provided. Our wishes were heard and respected without question. We were told what to expect and communication was clear and prompt.“

“Our family was deeply grateful for the exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism provided by John Arena III and Dee Funeral Home during a difficult time. Every detail was handled with dignity and respect, giving us peace of mind and allowing us to focus on honoring our loved one. The staff was kind, attentive, and always available to answer questions and offer guidance. Their genuine concern and support made a lasting impression on our family. We highly recommend this funeral home to anyone seeking caring and professional service during a time of loss.“

“Frank Joyce and his team at Joyce Funeral Home took tremendous care of my elderly mother in making and handling arrangements on my father's sudden passing - starting on the Sunday my father passed away, with Frank returning my call that very day. He met with my mother, myself, and another sibling for over 4 hours the next day to obtain the information needed and help my mother decide on her preferences. To be clear, not that much time was needed - but Frank listened attentively and caringly to our various stories and shared some of his own. From our meeting, Frank obtained enough information to put together a lovely draft obituary, which we then augmented. He patiently provided advice and guidance regarding the services to be held and the practicalities. Frank made everything easy - he provided a google drive link for us to upload photos, which his team turned into a video slideshow and digital banner for the wake, collage poster boards for the wake, pages in the guest book, etc. - however, he also offered to scan hard copy photos (even in frames) if that was all we had. They handled everything - even ordering the thank you notes - and it was all lovely - and were thoughtful of my mother's and the family wishes and added comforting touches (for example, arranging for the donation of particularly large flower displays post-service). When the date we selected for the funeral service conflicted with a mass that all (active) priests in the parish were required to attend, Frank reached out to a retired priest he knows to handle the service. I cannot say enough good things about Frank and Joyce Funeral Home.“

“Beautiful historic burial grounds, with lush gardens, winding walking paths and trails, various elevation and views of Boston. Facilities include a chapel and visitor center. Headstones date back hundreds of years with some notable figures.

Head up the tower for a view of the Boston and Cambridge skyline - about a 50ft climb up stairs.

Lovely afternoon adventure“
