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.“

“Eddie was incredibly helpful, professional, and thorough in all of his work. He went above and beyond to assist our family during a sensitive time, and his dedication did not go unnoticed. It’s clear that he cares deeply about the people he helps and takes great pride in what he does. I would absolutely recommend working with him—especially when compassion, discretion, and attention to detail matter most.“

“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 recommend Gormley without hesitation.“

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.“

“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.“

“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.“
