The service went smoothly and my Dad, who Was a World War 2 veteran had a beautiful service at The temple and the cemetery. Everything was seamless. I think a family owned funeral service is best, as they know their community and do so many events to better our area.

At such an emotional, fragile time it was comforting to work with Jim and associates at Delaney…read moreFuneral Home. Honestly they went above and beyond. They are the most compassionate, understanding, detailed, hardworking group of people that I've ever encountered in this industry. Four hundred people attending the Celebration of Life services and at least 300 of them couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was and how personal it was. It was a great send off for my Dad. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend this funeral home to other people. We have been using Delaney for three generations and they are top notch. Always!

There are numerous specialized transactions that need to happen when the services of a Funeral Home…read moreare needed - legal certifications, newspaper submissions, cemetery plots, planning of religious services - all kinds of arcane (or at least uncommon) details need to be tended to, under time pressure, when you are guaranteed not to be at your best. 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.

Shame on this place. in a time of emotional duress they vastly overcharged us for basic cremation…read moreservices, wrote a horrible obituary draft with typos and grammatical errors, and when we repeatedly tried to followed up on our father's headstone engraving, there was no response for SIX weeks. We went to follow up in person and were met outside and told Cynthia could not speak to us. Very disappointing for a family dealing with a sudden death. Go elsewhere.

They coordinated every detail seamlessly--even amid severe weather--ensuring that the wake, funeral Mass, and burial proceeded with dignity and calm. Their organization, responsiveness, and steady presence allowed us to focus on honoring my dad rather than worrying about logistics. We are deeply grateful for their support and highly recommend Doherty & Sons.

Owners Menton and Oriola have created a wonderful Park Ave. bistro in Altea. Although the very…read moreindustrial décor differs greatly from that of its sister restaurant, Livia's Dish, the team once again comes through with outstanding food and genuine hospitality (Oriola makes sure to visit with each and every customer. Now this is someone who is, most definitely, in the right business). Our sweet waiter, Ken, was none too shabby either. He even allowed me to snap a pic of him. Sis stuck to breakfast fare and pronounced her short rib-stuffed omelet, rife with tender meat and an abundance of white Cheddar, the best she's ever had. I can't say enough about my burger, which had absolutely perfect flavor combinations: The patty, served between a buttery bun which seemed to me like a cross between a croissant and a brioche roll, was cooked to my specified doneness and topped with the most delicious onion jam, Boursin cheese, ripe tomato slices and baby greens, This burger was one of the best I've ever eaten. And the fries (skin-on, shoestring style)... Let me just say that you will eat the entire pile. Let me also say that the service pace was perfect as well. So if you're looking for an outstanding breakfast or brunch, Altea is the place to go. We look forward to many more here.

We gave them pictures of how they looked in life but they obviously never looked at them. When I complained about the condition of my father they came back with vaseline and a comb. I'm still very upset about this several months later. They also didn't fit my father's suit jacket correctly. It was all bunched up. Never again will I go here if I can help it.

Jed and his staff were amazing through this experience. We started with Bill who walked us through…read moreall the paperwork and explained each step. We were hesitant at first because it was a Vietnamese wake and funeral. But Jed and his staff were willing to learn and accommodate us and all our needs. We called often for one thing or another and no one ever was annoyed by our calls or requests. Jed and his staff were attentive, professional, and very sensitive throughout the whole process. It is apparent that Jed and his family have been doing this for a very long time. We are grateful for the open mindedness and attention to detail we received. We look forward to working with Dolan again.

Our local one came in with the cheapest cremation costs. A friend recommended Casper and it was almost half the cost from what our family funeral home quoted us. That was with a discount as well! I called Casper about 2 months beforehand and they were very detailed and provided all the info that was needed. I had multiple phone calls with them and they were able to assist me even though I was in California. I mostly spoke with Jake and Colton during this process. When I arrived Saturday was the only day I could go down and we had a snowstorm the day prior. Roads were pretty bad and they were able to accommodate me even though they had a service going on. Parking can be a nightmare there, I parked a few blocks away near a barber shop. I would recommend this place to everyone!! I was truly blown away by their service and empathy.

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.

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.
