Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Waltham

“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.“

We thank Bob and the staff at Eaton for their help when it was most acutely required.“

“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.“

Provided the best services asked at the cemetery and even placed a candle for me at my husband's grave when it was too difficult for me to get there. We greatly appreciate the service and the assistance provided. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Victoria“

“I engaged the Gormley Funeral Home to handle the wake and cremation of my partner of 42 years. They did a wonderful job; they were very sensitive to my feelings; they went out of their way to offer help beyond their immediate services; they were supportive at a mind numbing time. I recommend Gormley without hesitation.“

“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.“

“I would like to give my personal compliments and thanks to Jack Doherty. When my father passed away this past November, me and my family immediately reached out to several funeral homes. Of all the people I spoke with, it was Jack who respectfully kept in constant contact while providing us with all the information we needed. At the cemetery, I remember seeing Jack quietly and professionally in the background, standing by and ready to assist if needed. Even that visual spoke volumes to me. Throughout the whole preparation and research, Mr. Doherty was never forceful and was never trying to control the situation. Me and family are forever grateful for Jack and what he did for us!“
