Finding a caring, well organized Funeral Director not only makes sure nothing is overlooked, but a consultation meeting also provides a checklist of the priority items that may need immediate attention. The Bryant family has been a part of the Wayland / Cochituate community for almost 50 years, and the connections they have built over that time are readily apparent. Their mixture of compassion and professionalism is a wonderful thing to find at a time when you need it most. Multiple generations of their family have come to the aid of multiple generations of our family, and their services are greatly appreciated.

My sister and I had never made funeral arrangements before but Brian helped us to understand what decisions we needed to make and was very patient with us, even letting us know that we could always change our minds and that they would make things happen as we wanted. We felt at ease knowing that they would handle everything and that we didn't have to worry about anything the day of the services. He even recommended a wonderful florist, FJ Luxury, where they were also very kind and created a beautiful all white half casket piece that was stunning and exactly what I had envisioned. They handled everything with the death certificate, arranging the burial with the cemetery, and getting his obituary published to the website (we opted not to do anything more public, but they would have helped with that as well). We had a million questions and he was always very responsive and helpful. The home itself is also lovely - cozy, charming, and well kept. Very grateful that we had Brian and the rest of the team to support us through this process.

The initial and ongoing communication was excellent; text messages were answered quickly and efficiently (so many companies today never even respond to potential customers). 2.)

The price for the repair was also the most reasonable of all the companies. And once here, Jason was friendly, easy to talk with and didn't have to guess at the problem; he knew exactly what was wrong (the carburetor needed cleaning) and the most efficient way to fix it. I'd have him back any day to fix all of my equipment.

Should you ever need funeral services I highly recommend this place.

The loss of a loved one is one of the worst things any of us will ever endure in this lifetime. Unfortunately, we've had to experience it multiple times over the past years in multiple states and with multiple different funeral homes. I can not express in words how comforting it was to hire Richard at Fitzgerald Collins Funeral Home in Marlborough, MA to handle our family member's funerals with trust, respect, solidarity, compassion, and true professionalism! I found him not only to be very knowledgeable and informative but most importantly he was extremely transparent and HONEST with us about everything. I'm not much of a pushover and I've definitely seen other funeral homes prey on distraught people (such as my mother when my father passed) but my experience with Richard and his funeral home was the exact opposite which was refreshing! He didn't try to BS me and after planning so many funerals over the years I would have seen it coming a mile away if he had tried. Thank you Richard for treating us and our family with the utmost dignity and respect and most of all for being an honest person! Always continue to treat your customers the way you'd want your family to be treated (which is how you treated us) and I have no doubt that God will continue to bless your business. Thanks for being an advocate for our family through this time of grief. (Both times!!!) Highly recommended local business! A+++
