Among them, one individual consistently rises above the rest--Paula Gervasi. Paula G. has been an exceptional partner in serving our community with care, dignity, and compassion.

My call to the funeral home was answered by a sympathetic assistant who not only took my contact information and the basic situation, but took the time to ask how the family was doing and share a little about her family's experience with hospice. It was a genuinely nice gesture. I honestly didn't know what to expect when we met with the pre-planning counselor to discuss options and plans. As a cynic, I anticipated an upsell attempt, but the counselor didn't try to talk us into anything we didn't already have in mind. In fact, he made sure to let us know about veterans' burial benefits and other options that could have reduced the expense of the arrangements. By the time we left, we felt very comfortable about having Mom's memorial at H&B. The experience continued this way after Mom's death and through to the end of the memorial. Shortly after I sent an email to the pre-planner advising him of her passing on a Sunday morning, I received a call from H&B, letting me know that they were in touch with the hospital, and setting up a time for us to come in to see the funeral director the next morning. Their attentiveness took a lot of anxiety out of my desire to do the best for my mom. For the memorial, we were both surprised and touched by the lovely ways the team personalized the experience, including small keepsakes reflecting Mom's hobby, and envelopes addressed to Mom's favorite charity for visitors to make a donation in lieu of flowers. As others have said, this is not a business you look forward to using. That said, my family and I would recommend Bradley, Haeberle & Barth, based on our experience. Their care and attention to detail were a comfort in a difficult time.

Fairview Cemetery & Arboretum is one of the most historic and picturesque places in Westfield…read more Established in 1868, it was created when the town's older church burial grounds were becoming crowded. It is both a cemetery and an accredited arboretum, with more than 100 identified tree species and self-guided tree tours. The grounds are known for their natural beauty, including wooded areas, a pond, and extensive landscaping. Fairview also serves as a historical record of modern Westfield. While many colonial-era residents are buried in Westfield's older Presbyterian Cemetery, many of the families who helped build the suburban town of Westfield are buried here. The pond, nicknamed "Ghost Pond," was still surrounded by woods when I was a kid in the 1960s. Back then, it was open to the public for ice skating. The scene in It's a Wonderful Life where George Bailey saves his brother Harry always reminds me of those childhood days skating on Ghost Pond. On my mother's side, my family lineage goes back to some of Westfield's earliest settlers. My parents and both sets of grandparents are buried here. In 2023, I worked with the cemetery office to arrange for my parents' burials in their family plot and to have a headstone made and installed. The staff was professional, compassionate, and easy to work with throughout the process. I grew up near Fairview and have been visiting since I was about ten years old. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and exceptionally well maintained. Fairview contains the graves of many of the families who shaped Westfield during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cemetery includes a notable Civil War section, several historic monuments, and "Old One Horn," a Revolutionary War-era cannon displayed on the grounds. It is also the final resting place of several notable individuals, including Whitney Houston and Dr. Virginia Apgar, whose Apgar Score is still used worldwide to assess newborns. Whenever I return to the Westfield area, I make a point of stopping by to visit family members, friends, and the parents of friends who are buried here. It remains a beautiful and tranquil place that provides comfort while honoring the memories of loved ones.
