    I would strongly discourage anyone from using Boston Cremation…read more Our family has had an incredibly frustrating and distressing experience working with them during one of the most difficult times of our lives. They issued a death certificate listing a cremation date that does not match the actual date of cremation. When we contacted them to have the error corrected, instead of taking responsibility, we were given the runaround. Most recently, we were told that the date on the death certificate represents the date they "started the paperwork" for the cremation rather than the date the cremation actually occurred. We do not believe this explanation is accurate or consistent with Massachusetts requirements, yet they continue to refuse to correct what we believe is an error on an official legal document. As a result, our family has been forced to continue pursuing the matter instead of being able to focus on grieving. Unfortunately, this has not been an isolated issue. Throughout the process, communication was poor, empathy was lacking, and we repeatedly had to advocate for ourselves to receive basic information and proper treatment. The entire experience has caused unnecessary stress and has ultimately required us to seek legal assistance. Families deserve professionalism, compassion, and confidence that important legal documents are being completed accurately. That was not our experience. I sincerely hope no other family has to endure what ours has.

    I recently went through Boston Crematory for my friends passing needs. They were extremely helpful…read morethrough the whole process. They are second to none. Highly recommended

    When my mom was in hospice - someone recommended Crawford Memorial to help us - and I'm forever…read moregrateful! John was so understanding ,compassionate and friendly and he prepared me for what lay ahead. Once mom died he swiftly put everything into place with grace, clarity and impeccable care. I didn't feel alone - and he made it easy to choose the best option ( financially and otherwise) for her funeral/burial in record speed....which was of utmost importance in our religion. He made this experience so effortless for us so I could concentrate on what mattered most. I will be forever grateful for all he did for our family.

    This review is long overdue. I was referred to John Crawford through the Rosehill Memorial Park…read moreCemetery in Shrub Oak where I planned to bury my father with my mother who had passed years earlier. It was the second month of the pandemic- April of 2020. I had previously made several calls to different funeral homes asking for my father to be picked up from the hospital and buried. No one was offering this service. It was all about cremation at this time, due to the pandemic. I found John Crawford who was a lifesaver during such a terrible time. He was able to bury my father who had died from covid, which was my fathers ultimate dying wish. John came through for me when no one else did, and he didn't ask me for a dime upfront. He told me not to worry about it, and he trusted me and in this day and age its so difficult for anyone to have trust. I was unable to attend the funeral, but he promised me he would say a prayer for my father and sent me pics of the casket as it was being lowered into the gravesite. I'll never forget John. God puts angels in our lives! Thanks John!!! The Rosado Family.
