Mum & I wanted to dress Dad & Kevin Barile was there with such kindness to help us do this. Now Mum passed on January 29th 2021. I even recorded her saying " I want to go to Doherty Barile and have Kevin and Ralph take care of me" and she added "Allison, make sure that my eyebrows are on right". From the time she passed at Artis Senior Living of Reading to the time she went to the crematory , I will never forget. Kind calls from Ralph Barile and Kevin Barile to say not to worry about a thing. They came to get and transport Mum at Artis Senior Living of Reading to their funeral home . She was lovingly covered up in a pretty blanket and I walked out with John who transported her to the funeral home with great dignity. I once again participated in dressing her along with Kevin Barile who was wonderful . I'd wanted to put some additional touches of her favorite - perfume, lancome & lipstick - chanel of course! During the worst time of a låoss of a loved one I can't ever be more grateful for the beautiful experience I have had with losing both parents and especially my Mother, Margaret. I was able to be "hands on" and that comforted me so. And my Mum looked absolutely beautiful. She looked just as if she was going to work at Lord & Taylor and not skipping a beat. The best I think was when I submitted Mum's obituary and I looked online for her obituary & I gasped! There was Mum's picture with the Burlington Lord & Taylor building right behind her! Just amazing! And what a beautiful thing for them to do. I had only happy thoughts from then on. I do hope that you don't need their services anytime soon. But if the worst happens you will start to heal the moment you call Barile Funeral Homes.

Thank you to Sullivan Funeral Home for caring for our dad and our family at such a difficult time.

I have forced myself to wait over a year to write this review so that it would not be overly…read morecolored by emotion. When my dad passed unexpectedly at home, we needed to make a quick decision. After a glance at Yelp reviews, we settled on DeVito because the other funeral home that had been mentioned by the police had one star. I am, however, slightly suspicious about a place that gets only five star reviews as well. I gave three stars because I can concur with other reviewers that the men we worked with were generally professional, responsive, and honest. Our family had some unique unexpected needs such as concern that a wedding ring had been lost, and DeVito did attend to these needs, which was much appreciated. The family clearly has a lot of experience in the business. If you have experience with death and are looking to do things in a fairly expected and "normal" way, this could be a good funeral home for you to choose. If this is your first experience with a funeral home, and if you approach death in any way that is less typical, or if you are needing a lot of patience and handholding, I would not recommend DeVito based on our experience. From when we initially chose not to do an immediate service in a funeral home, did not need assistance in writing an obituary, and did not want a special urn, and would be doing a celebration of life later, we felt that we were treated differently from the five star reviewers who might have done things more traditionally. I am now embarrassed at my ignorance, but at the time we did not realize that as a decorated Vietnam veteran, my dad was entitled to certain honors and benefits. While the gentleman we worked with was certainly aware of this because he asked us for the necessary information, including veteran status, in order to fill out forms, nothing was mentioned to us about these benefits. Perhaps this was because we were choosing not to do a traditional burial and other related elements, but this omission added to a general feeling of lack of respect in the tone toward us. The site says that they are available 24 hours. When I called late at night, feeling overwhelmed and concerned about some of the arrangements, expecting I would receive an answering service if no one was available, I was greeted by someone who sounded annoyed by being awakened and was not particularly helpful in that tough moment. Then this person said something to my family later about my late night call, which I feel should have been treated confidentially. All of this certainly was not helpful at such a tender time for my family. This funeral home clearly has a great deal of experience and is able to handle things expeditiously and professionally.But taking care of people's needs in the midst of one of the most difficult experiences they will ever have requires a level of heartfelt patience and support that I simply did not feel from DeVito. It seems from the reviews others did feel this in their experiences, which suggests to me that we may simply be outliers. But I still felt it was important to share this review. Even if someone makes different decisions from a more typical customer or if the people in the business do not agree with these decisions or understand them,,that customer of course still should be treated with the utmost respect under these circumstances. Instead, what we experienced was an undercurrent of feeling held at arm's length and as if we were an annoyance rather than customers who deserved compassion and care. While for funeral home operators death may be everyday business, for the one going through the passing of a loved one it is anything but that. You deserve to have a gentle tone and nonjudgmental respect of your decisions in this very demanding moment. I will always remember my dad as someone who communicated clearly and spoke with great respect for others but was also honest and not afraid to speak up when something was not as it should be. I seek to emulate him in writing this review. If you are uncertain about your choice, I highly recommend consulting with a local clergy member for recommendations of a funeral home that will provide genuine compassionate care at this challenging time. Finally, if you are reading this, although I don't know you, I am so sorry for what you're going through, and I want to let you know that you are not alone, and that you will find strength and comfort through the days ahead. While it may still be very hard, there is a light that will continue to guide you forward. You will make it through this and continue, in some way that is hard to explain, to have an ongoing relationship with your loved one, even if they are not here with you in the same way. They will always be with you, and nothing can take their love away from you or vice versa. I wish you much comfort and that you would feel surrounded by tangible love and clear guidance in your next steps. Bless you and your family.

I can't express how happy I was for using DeVito Funeral home to assist me in my dad funeral…read moreaffairs. His passing was unexpected and unplanned but DeVito was a big support every step of the way. When I first made calls to I had narrowed it down to DeVito's Watertown location and another local funeral home that my neighbors had used over the years. After my first phone call with Jonathan I felt immediately at ease and supported, I knew they were going to make me feel comfortable in arranging something that honored my father. No other funeral home I talked to made me feel that way. Any question I had I could easily email them and I would get an answer promptly. Jonathon was a huge support They were open about costs and no surprise billing I had been warned about at other funeral homes, and it was easy to stay in budget while simultaneously giving my father the send off he deserved. Can't speak more highly of them, and they will be my first recommendation to anyone in the area. If I ever need their services again, they will be my first call.

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.
