“When my husband passed they were there and very supportive to me they will work with you and did a beautiful job in preparation of his body“

“I had a great experience with Woodlawn Memorials; I recently went there to get a headstone for my uncle. The staff was very nice and helpful. All the people were very knowledgable, and caring. I definitely recommend this place!“

“My mom passed away suddenly last Sunday. We had just celebrated her 96th birthday, and hours later we were gathered around her hospital bed saying our goodbyes after she had a hard fall. I was in a daze, the hospital told us the funeral home would handle everything, so I searched on Google for one nearby. When I found Folsom, it said we could call 24 hours/day. It was midnight, I made the call, and Bob Folsom himself answered the phone. That is correct, no machine, no AI. He offered to meet with us at noon the next day. After a 2 hour meeting with him in Westwood where he presented us with several options and gave us a reasonable cost estimate. From there forward, he and his son Brian handled everything. I was hugely impressed, and grateful that he and Brian helped us navigate this difficult experience with grace and compassion. The personal touch of a family owned business is what made the difference. I highly recommend Folsom Funeral Services, they are thorough, efficient, honest, and compassionate.“

“My father, a Lutheran Minister, who worked with many local funeral homes, chose Folsoms for my mother's and his own. They couldn't have made it easier for my family and I. Everything was taken care of beautifully. Extra effort was made to complete some extra touches when we were late or forgetful. Bob and Brian were ever professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.“

“I just want to say that the funeral home did a great job with my mother’s wake. It was a great service and I wanted to thank you for the everything you did for our family“

“The staff at Peck Funeral Home were all compassionate and helpful during a difficult time when we were unfamiliar with the process. They helped us at each step of a sad time and I would recommend them to anyone who is unfortunately in a similar situation.“

“Dan was so supportive during the losses of both our Mom and Dad, 14 months apart. He is a consummate professional in navigating families through the unfamiliar process of planning a funeral and he was also attentive to all the details.“

“While it is unfortunate to require funeral services, Stanetsky handled every detail perfectly and professionally. From ritual services to every logistical detail all was executed with precision and care. While this was handled last minute and done right, I suggest handling these matters before you need them.“

“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.“

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with Sharees. She was there for me and my family answering every question with lightening speed. My mother looked so beautiful. I highly recommend Sharees and Gillooly 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“

“I cannot recommend this funeral home highly enough. As a young person handling funeral arrangements alone for the first time, I had no idea where to begin. Lou and Rich who own and operate the funeral home were incredibly kind, compassionate, and patient throughout the entire process.

I had multiple phone calls with them, and they always took the time to answer my questions and walk me through every step. They never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed, and their guidance gave me a great deal of comfort during an extremely difficult time.

Their professionalism, empathy, and genuine care for the families they serve truly set them apart. I am deeply grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of funeral services.“

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Danny, Jeff and staff at Vertuccio & Smith. Everyone was compassionate, outstanding organization and most of all, they treat their customers like family during a difficult time. Handling of arrangements and planning of services for the day was beyond my expectations, attention to detail was impeccable. We had some special requests, they were accommodating make us feel well cared for. The amount of support I received navigating through all arrangements, I cannot put into words. Danny was always available to me seems like 24/7. My dad passed away on Christmas Day, Danny was in contact with me on that day. I knew on Christmas Eve the time was coming to end, both Jeff and Danny took time away from their families to check in with me . When he should have been spending time with there families. They will forever be grateful in my heart for all the family over the years i have left in their care.“
