Our family reached out to Eaton after an unexpected death. If you are searching for a family owned…read morefuneral home to guide you through an awful circumstance- this is it. From the very beginning the director/owner, Skip, was knowledgeable, understanding and kind. He provided guidance when his experience knew we needed it, and was extremely flexible on the family's needs as well. We didn't realize at the start of the process many funeral homes work closely with particular churches. Eaton has close relationships with several religious organizations in the community, and was the most flexible on helping find the right place for a service while respecting secular/agnostic view points. Throughout our services Eaton was very well staffed, helpful and kind. We can't recommend them more highly.

Established in 1857, Mount Feake Cemetery is the city's second cemetery after Grove Hill Cemetery,…read moreand is one of the best-preserved garden cemeteries in the state. It takes its name from its highest point, Mount Feake, which was named by Governor John Winthrop in 1632 for his future nephew-in-law, Robert Feake, one of the founding settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Mount Feake Cemetery was designed by Robert Morris Copeland, and was from its inception compared to the older Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. It stands on a somewhat rugged parcel of land that rises above the Charles River across from the Waltham Watch Company complex. A series of winding lanes, designed to complement the terrain, provide access to all parts of the cemetery. Most of the grave markers are made of granite, although marble and limestone are also well-represented. The cemetery is in pristine condition. I spotted several folks walking and even one woman pushing a baby carriage. The roadways are smooth and the landscaping is well maintained.

I cannot express enough gratitude to Faggas Funeral Home for the exceptional care and compassion…read morethey showed our family during one of the most difficult times in our lives. A very special thank you to Adrianne, who truly went above and beyond in every possible way. She took on an incredibly complex and time-sensitive process and handled it with professionalism, urgency, and genuine care. Adrianne personally coordinated with airline cargo departments, worked closely with the consulate, and persistently followed up to ensure all documents were expedited. Thanks to her dedication and relentless effort, what seemed impossible was accomplished in an unbelievably short time -- we were able to transfer my father's body to his homeland much faster than anyone thought possible. The entire team demonstrated compassion, efficiency, and deep respect for our cultural and emotional needs. In such a painful moment, their support meant everything to us. I wholeheartedly recommend Faggas Funeral Home to anyone in need of truly exceptional service. They are not only professionals -- they are kind, dedicated people who genuinely care.

John was meant for this work and it shows. He is empathetic and patient, while also being extremely organized, knowledgeable and seemingly always available.

We never felt pushed towards any decisions, he showed us options and let us decide always ready to answer questions. I hope I won't be planning a funeral for a long time, but I can tell you without a doubt I would work with Dee again.

Frank Joyce and his team at Joyce Funeral Home took tremendous care of my elderly mother in making…read moreand 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.
