They communicated with me at all hours of the day, evenings and weekends. Everything was so smooth that my family and I were able to relax as much as possible as we knew they had it all sorted. They have my gratitude and I would recommend their services 100% to anyone.“

“I want to sincerely thank DeVito’s Funeral Home for the compassion, professionalism, and care they showed to my family during one of the most difficult times in our lives. When my mother passed, they didn’t hesitate to come and bring her into their care—even though it meant driving two hours round trip to do so. That alone spoke volumes about their dedication and respect.
From that first moment through every step of the funeral planning process, DeVito’s treated us with kindness. They were patient, understanding, and never made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. They walked us through every decision with clarity and warmth, which brought a great deal of comfort during an emotional time.
The funeral service was beautiful—thoughtfully arranged and carried out with attention to every detail. The environment at the funeral home was peaceful and welcoming.
It’s rare to find people who do this kind of work with such genuine care and humanity. I’m so grateful to DeVito’s Funeral Home and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone facing the loss of a loved one. They helped us navigate this painful moment with grace, and I’ll always remember the support they gave us.“

“My family recently entrusted Kfoury Keefe with my father’s services, and we are deeply grateful for the care and professionalism they showed us. Lou and Rich were thorough, responsive, and compassionate. They proactively reached out to us to confirm every detail and ensured that nothing was overlooked. We appreciated the guidance they provided during an incredibly difficult time.“

“We held services for my mom at Magni Funeral Home, and I can’t say enough about the incredible care and professionalism we received. Arthur was absolutely amazing — extremely detail-oriented, compassionate, and patient. He answered our endless questions, guided us through every step of the process, and made sure everything went smoothly as we honored our mom. His responsiveness and kindness made a very difficult time much easier to navigate. He truly cares about his clients. The funeral home itself is beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed. We are so grateful to Arthur and the entire team for their support and for helping us celebrate our mom’s life so meaningfully. I highly recommend Arthur and Magni Funeral Home without hesitation.“

“A hidden gem. A walk through this place is a serene and special experience. Highly recommended for spending a peaceful day amongst trees, ponds, birds taking a break from the hustle of life“

“On behalf of my entire family, we would like to thank Joyce Funeral Home for all the help they gave me in making my mother’s funeral arrangements. The truth is that I didn’t know anything about how to do this, since it is the first time I have lost a loved one, and John helped me by guiding me, giving me options, and always being willing to answer and clarify my doubts. He personally ensured that everything was carried out properly and with great care. I also thank all the staff who helped me during this process. On the day of the service, in addition to the professionalism and kindness they showed, they did everything possible to make everything go perfectly. John put together a video with photos of my mother, as well as a frame of her, and I received thank-you cards to use. I am very pleased, and my heart goes out to John and the staff for going above and beyond with my mother’s funeral service. Eternally grateful.“

“After our son's unexpected death, we went to Gillooly's Funeral Home. I called on a Sunday and they got back to me within 15 minutes and set an appointment for the next day. They were very caring with us and explained everything. Eric and Carissa guided us through the difficult times and we would use them again.“

“I definitely made the right decision going with Stanetsky. If you are lucky enough to work with Cherishe, she will not let you down. She is one of the warmest, kind, caring, knowledgeable, person I ever met. Gd broke the mold when HE made her.“

“At sad times, when support and guidance are needed, you can rely on Eaton Funeral Home in Needham. We used Eaton for the memorials of both our parents, and the arrangements were handled deftly and with elegance. Bob Timmerman organized everything so well that were able to focus on family and friends, which made for a more meaningful experience. 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.“

“They've handled the services for my Aunt and Uncle - very professional, respectful, and thorough. They made a difficult situation much more bearable than I could imagine.“

“My family wanted to do an obituary for my Mother who passed away at 102. She was a Wellesley resident for 66 years. My parents donated their body to science, and years ago arranged through another entity to take care of it. They did not respond at all and never returned my phone calls. After not having any hope of doing this, I called George Doherty in Wellesley, and immediately without hesitation, Eddie Doherty took care of it. This was amazing, as it is quite a process now with the internet. I do believe we never would have been able to honor our Mother by putting her obituary in a paper she subscribed to her whole life and in a community she so loved without the willingness shown us by Geoge Doherty Funeral Home. We are so grateful.“

“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.“

“Planing the services for my dad could not have been easier thanks to the staff at at Kraw-Kornack. Zero pressure when making a decision. Always helpful and knowledgeable when we had a question. Total professionals across the board. Could not recommend Kraw-Kornack more highly.“

“I couldn't say enough about
this top notch and very professional funeral home. The Lawler family has been entrusted with so many of our deceased for generations, and we wouldn't have it any other way. They're attention to detail, kindness and empathy have ministered to our hearts on so many occasions. You can put your trust in the Lawlers to leave no stone unturned in order to give you and your family what you need during your difficult time. You and yours can take comfort in knowing that your loved one has been cared for with love and respect, and your family will be honored by having the Lawlers come alongside you.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My family has been extraordinarily fortunate to have been serviced by the Nardones on more than one occasion. Carmine and Christine handle the difficulties of death with respect, compassion, attention, and just the right amount of appropriate humor to take a bit of the painful edge off. They ensured that my loved one not only looked their best for visitation, but also took the time to help my family add small touching details that allowed the visitation to feel personal, customized, and human, bringing my loved one’s spirit alive again. Christine was available at all hours to assist us with all of our needs and questions from arranging prompt and respectful body pickup, writing and posting the obituary, creating photo slideshows, choosing wake and funeral details, making our loved one look their best, walking us through traditional customs we’d long forgotten, arranging convenient limo pickup, and much, much more.

17 years ago during a family member’s funeral, I was completely inconsolable. Carmine saw my despair and gently picked a rose off the casket and handed it to me, teaching me to hang it upside down to dry, so I could keep a little memento to remember them by. With just the right amount of sorrow and helpful glee, Carmine was able to console me in an instant. That moment stuck with me for the last 17 years and his same comforting persona shined again, 17 years later, now with his daughter’s support alongside him.

I can’t thank the Nardones enough for being by our side throughout the entire post-death process and bringing our loved one’s spirit alive once more.“

“At such a difficult time in our lives, Brian and his staff made us feel like family. Everything was taken care of in a caring and professional manner. The services they provided went above and beyond what was expected!“

“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.“

“A truly wonderful, professional, and compassionate group that helped us navigate what was the most difficult time of our lives when our mother passed. Thank you so much.“

“We were coordinating a funeral from Florida and Ed was extremely helpful and patient through the process. I really appreciate his patience and professionalism.“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Brown & Hickey Funeral Home. When my father passed away recently I had no idea what to expect, but the professionalism and compassion that Liam and the rest of the staff showed us made a difficult time just a little bit easier.

The first time I met Liam in person was when he came to our home to remove my father’s remains. I didn’t know what to expect but he and his staff treated my father with such dignity. It made me feel better knowing that he was with people who clearly cared about what they were doing.

With Liam’s help we were able to plan the wake and funeral in two days. We were all impressed with the team’s attention to detail and how accommodating they were of our wishes. There were several things we wanted to do ourselves, such as the programs and obituary, and Liam walked us through the whole process and made sure we knew what he needed and when he needed it by.

My sister commented that at the wake Liam and the staff were right there when you needed something but were almost invisible otherwise. They were just working in the background to make sure everything was going smoothly.

My entire family will be forever grateful.

Thank you to the entire Brown & Hickey team.“
