Every detail was attended to and with sympathy for all the family members. Tim Keefe was txting me or emailing me at every step of the way. I honestly cannot say enough.

He is not a dress up person and was supposed to be wearing something casual. They put him in a suit which was not what he wanted. On the day of the wake/funeral I arrived and none of the staff greeted me. Eventually when someone showed up it was to take my coat and then disappeared. When my brothers set it up we were supposed to have two of us do eulogies as well as a priest. They did a horrible job before the wake started and didn't introduce themselves or ask about the family. (Just ushered them in the room where my Dad was and I was already in there and spent the whole wake. When it came time for the eulogies and the priest, the priest was the only one who introduced himself and asked things about my Dad. The priest did an amazing job summing up my Dads life and blessing him. After that someone came in (Remember NOBODY from Keefe even introduced themselves.) came in and announced the service was over and to head outside for the procession to the cemetery. Then to make matters worse they didn't have the family members go first, they just waved everyone on. At the cemetery they didn't even tell everyone where to pull up and park. Again the person from Keefe just announced the priest was going to do a quick prayer and announced where we were going afterward. So unprofessional and I will never use or recommend this place to anyone. So unprofessional and uncaring. My Dads final day was horrible. Wish I could give zero stars.

Some family and friends had recommended this Funeral Home during the passing of our relatives a few…read moreyears back, since then I have used the services of Rogers and Hutchins Funeral Home a few times and the care, compassion, patience and understanding that both Mr. Rogers and Mr. Hutchins showcase are so amazing and yet so difficult to explain in a review. This line of business I can only imagine is very difficult, but the way Mr. Hutchins presented himself during the arrangements, services and after the services made me and my family feel like he was part of our family. The entire staff was very polite, understood the difficult circumstances but at the same time had a level of caring and professionalism that seemed genuine. Just the small things that are very noticeable like assisting some of our older relatives up and down the stairs, assisting them with their cars. Small gestures like these aren't always noticed, but they go a long way for me, my wife and our family. The professionalism was outstanding; it made these difficult times much more manageable for my family and I. I will say that the parking situation can be difficult, especially the day of the funeral, but the staff was well organized, experienced and seemed to have handled the transportation situation well considering the location (Mass Ave in Arlington) and the time of day (work day morning). When the passing of a family member occurs, I will always use and strongly recommend the services of Rogers and Hutchins Funeral Home. When my wife and I were in that difficult and confusing situation a few years ago we were both nervous, intimidated and scared. We asked for help and assistance from family, they gave us the number and names; making that call removed so much of the anxiety and stress that go hand and hand with this difficult time. Most of my communications have been with Robert (Mr. Hutchins), Robert and Mr. Rogers are both very kind and know how to handle and work with families during these difficult times that we all have.

It is definitely the prettiest, greenest, most walk worthy cemetery I've ever seen! We stopped by the visitor center where a staff recommended a particular way to walk to the Washington tower in the middle and to see Isabella Gardner's grave by Auburn lake. We appreciated the windy, cloudy day with glimpses of sun for our adventure today. Several tombstones were guarded by statues of a favorite family dog. Many were clearly family plots. We climbed up the many winding stairs of the Washington tower for a breathtaking 360 degree panoramic view of Boston and of the greenery below. We'll be back! We only spent an hour here today but could've easily stayed 2-3 just exploring. Highly recommend!

(I walked from campus in 20 minutes.) When you walk in, pop into the main building to use hr restroom and pick up maps of the cemetery.

The map will guide you to monuments and memorials and notable burial sites to abolitionists like Charles Sumner and poets like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. If it's open in the warmer months, climb the Washington Monument for a view of the city. It's closed during the winter, but the hill it's on still offers unobstructed views.

The death of a loved one is a time of deep distress and Arthur was wonderful in the way he worked with me and our family. I also want to note that I live in Austin, TX, so some of the coordination was done on phone/text/email. We had a Hindu religious ceremony and services and Arthur assisted ably with that. (we located the priest). The facilities in the Magni funeral home are updated, dignified, modern, and graceful. I give Magni funeral home and the professional services provided by Arthur, five stars and recommend them strongly.

I had gone in months prior to prep with my sister but by the time it happened they remembered my choices & had them ready to confirm no changes. My sister was worried about costs so had opted to remove some options & they worked with us within budget. (My mother passed from Cancer and her insurance did not cover the private care we covered out of pocket so she wanted to ensure we did not get into more debt.) The option for wake from 3-7 was ideal on a Sunday night and Church at 11. My mother passed on Thursday but Arlington cemetery requires 2 days for which they originally said they were not going to accommodate us with burial Monday. Timothy drove down there to talk to a manager and was able to get us Monday after all. I wish I had taken all names of those that partook in our Wake & funeral services but Id like to whole heartily thank them all for such class & service. Everything was organized and not one hiccup for a loss we were not ready for at any age! Thanks again Tim, and everyone who was part of our mothers services - stellar support and true professionals. Our family would not recommend any other funeral home for such a delicate time and you need full coordination. God Bless you all

However, Leo…read moreand the entire team at Gately Funeral Home provided an exceptional level of care and professionalism that brought our family great comfort during this painful time. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Leo is deeply dedicated to his work. He told us that he only has one opportunity to do things right, and he truly lived up to that promise. Leo was compassionate, honest, and transparent throughout the entire process. He never attempted to upsell us or pressure us into unnecessary purchases. Instead, he asked about our budget and helped us find ways to stay within it. He even mentioned that we could purchase certain items elsewhere, though he often offered better prices himself. His integrity and empathy were evident in every interaction. Leo provided his personal cell phone number and responded promptly to every question or concern we had. Because my father's passing was unexpected, he first had to go through the medical examiner. During that time, Leo kept us updated regularly and contacted me immediately once my father arrived at the funeral home. We felt confident that my father was being cared for with the utmost respect and dignity. The wake and funeral services were beautifully arranged. Since my father was a Navy veteran, Leo ensured that he received full military honors. When the two representatives performing the flag ceremony did not fold the flag correctly, Leo personally offered to have it redone properly and delivered it to my mother's home a few days later -- a gesture that meant a great deal to our family. At the cemetery, a miscommunication caused confusion regarding the burial plot. While the issue was ultimately with the cemetery, Leo went above and beyond once again, offering to bring my father back to the funeral home until everything was resolved. His concern and advocacy stood in stark contrast to the cemetery's suggestion to "leave the vault out overnight." Ultimately, the cemetery resolved the issue by removing a tree that was in the way -- something we thought would take months -- but thanks to Leo's persistence, it was completed within a week. I cannot thank Leo and the staff at Gately Funeral Home enough for their compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail. They treated our family with kindness and my father with the respect he deserved. I wholeheartedly recommend Gately Funeral Home to anyone in need of funeral services. They truly go above and beyond in every way.
