Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Westwood

“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 family and I wanted to acknowledge the services provided to us after my husband Igor passed away. It was devastating to the whole family but Eddie was exceptional. He was very patient. 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“

“Gorgeous cemetery with many interesting people resting there from mobsters to politicians!“

“Very satisfied with recent engraving added to family gravestone. Monique was efficient, clear, dependable and delivered sooner than promised. Very pleased! Thank you!“

“I cannot say enough good things about the people who work at Schlossberg Chapel. One person in particular is, Ben. Ben went above and beyond to help my neighbor who lost her husband. He was in constant contact with us every step of the way. It was reassuring that people still care about others and it showed. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. I would recommend Schlossberg chapel for any loved one; they really care.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our beloved nephew passed away on March 25. We are deeply grateful for the compassion and professionalism shown by the staff during such a difficult time. Everything was handled with dignity and care, which meant so much to our family.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend this funeral home. I recently had to make arrangements for my brother and the care and professional support was outstanding.“

“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.“

“The funeral staff made this endeavor very easy. They explained everything and we set out to accomplish it. The attention to details was extraordinary. So glad we had Elizabeth and David’s help.“

“I lost an Aunt within the month suddenly.
My Aunt’s husband’s arrangements were through Delaney Funeral Home, and she expressed a wish to have her arrangements through them as well. Jim and his team exceeded my expectations. My Aunt’s arrangements were made with care & compassion. Everything fell into place from start to finish. My few phone calls with questions were returned promptly.
They are a class act! I awakened the next day after the funeral with sadness, of course, but also felt we, together, accomplished a heartfelt funeral with dignity & grace.
Jim, you provide such an important service at such a vulnerable period in Family’s lives.
Continue your mission and tradition as it has been passed down to you. You and your team care and it means everything to Families as we say good-bye to our loved ones.
With Blessings & Thanks,
LeAnn B. Tibets, RN“

“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 utilized the services from Pushard Family Funeral Home and they were fantatstic. I had made pre-arrangements for my sister who was in a nursing home. Unfortunately she passed while I was out of the country. Larry Pushard called me shortly after the death notice from the nursing home and completed the body removal, the arrangements and cremation efficently so I could deal with the matter when I returned home. I would highly recommend them as they understand family, needs and entire process from passing to burial.“

“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.“

“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.“

“During such a difficult time losing my beloved mother, Stanetsky’s was the calm that I needed, the soft warmth of Linda and Marta were what I needed. Both ladies provided me with such care and support. I love them both! I am not sure who it was that did hair and makeup for my mother, she looked absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for managing the service, I know my mom would have felt your support for her daughter (me) .

Sincerely ,
Joni Chasen“
