There are simply no words that could ever fully express our family's gratitude for Lilly Darling…read more Over the past few months, our family experienced the unimaginable, we lost two loved ones, one in April and another in June. To have to walk through that kind of heartbreak twice in such a short period of time is something no family ever expects. Through it all, Lilly became so much more than a funeral director. She became a source of comfort, strength, guidance, and genuine love during the darkest moments of our lives. From the very first meeting, Lilly treated our family as if we were her own. She carried us through every step of the process with incredible kindness, compassion, patience, and grace. Every detail was handled with such care and professionalism that we never had to worry about whether something had been overlooked. She anticipated our needs before we even knew what to ask, offered thoughtful advice when we felt lost, and communicated with us every step of the way. In the middle of overwhelming grief, she gave us peace of mind. What touched us most and something our family will never forget is that Lilly was actually on vacation during one of our funerals. Most people would have understandably stepped away, but not Lilly. She made sure she was there for us anyway. That speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. She didn't see us as just another family she was helping, she genuinely cared. Knowing that she chose to be there for us, despite being on her own personal time, meant more than words can express. It made us feel seen, supported, and deeply cared for during one of the hardest days of our lives. Lilly has a rare gift. She combines extraordinary professionalism with an even more extraordinary heart. She showed our loved ones the dignity and respect they deserved and showed our family endless compassion at a time when we could barely function. She cried with us, encouraged us, celebrated the lives of our loved ones with us, and somehow made an impossible process feel a little less heavy. By the end of these past few months, Lilly no longer felt like someone we met through tragedy she truly felt like part of our family. We will always remember her kindness, generosity, unwavering support, attention to detail, and the love she poured into helping us honor the people we lost. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Lilly. We will never forget everything you did for us. Cartwright Funeral Home is incredibly fortunate to have someone as exceptional as you. Anyone who has Lilly by their side during one of life's most difficult moments will be receiving the very best care imaginable.

While these were some of the most difficult days of our lives, the compassion, professionalism, and exceptional care we received from everyone at Farley made an immeasurable difference. From the very beginning, Mark, Kelsey, and Jeff were incredible. They met with us promptly, handled every detail with kindness and efficiency, and made what could have been an overwhelming process feel seamless. From bringing my father from the hospital to the funeral home, preparing him with such dignity and presenting him beautifully, to guiding us through selecting a casket and explaining all of the available services, every step was handled with genuine compassion and care. During both the wake and funeral, Johnny Vasconcelos went above and beyond for our family. He anticipated every need, ensured everything ran smoothly, and offered such comfort during an incredibly emotional time. His heartfelt prayers at the close of the wake and his assistance to Mark throughout the funeral service brought peace and comfort to everyone in attendance. Every member of the Farley Funeral Home team treated our loved ones with the utmost respect and our family with extraordinary kindness. Although we wish we never had to rely on their services, we are deeply grateful for the care they provided. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and heartfelt compassion made an unforgettable impact during one of the hardest times in our lives. We will never forget it. Thank you to Mark, Kelsey, Jeff, Johnny, and the entire Farley Funeral Home staff for helping us honor our fathers with such dignity, grace, and love. We wholeheartedly recommend Farley Funeral Home to anyone in need of funeral services.

Mount Hope Cemetery

Mount Hope Cemetery is a hidden gem!…read more It is hidden because it's off the beaten path as far as the city of Boston is concerned. It's not really a place you seek out to visit like Forest Hills Cemetery; rather, it is a place you become acquainted with probably because you live near or pass by. Mount Hope Cemetery is tucked in between Roslindale and Mattapan, I think it actually creates part of the line between the two neighborhoods and to be honest, I'm not sure which it is "technically" located in. Together with Mount Calvary Cemetery (it's neighbor) it creates the quaint pocket neighborhood of Mount Hope-Canterbury Street that I call home. I have to say, I was a little creeped out living so close to not one, but TWO cemeteries when we first bought our house, but now, I cherish these large, open plots of peaceful greenery! The cemetery is very old, according to the city's website, it opened in 1852. It is over 125 acres which is quite large, considering the entire Boston Common is only 50! The cemetery is a mixture of open green space, with grassy fields and water features along with densely grown and developed (with stones and memorials) areas. While you might feel odd walking amongst the dead, the headstones themselves are actually quite attractive, as the majority of them are between 100 and 200 years old and there are many monument-type pieces worked in that really lend to a beautiful space. With paved drives and pathways all throughout, the cemetery makes for an excellent place to take a stroll, walk the dogs or fit in a short run. Insider tip: There is a break in the fence at two different spots - one at the very rear of the cemetery (on Mount Calvary Road) where it meets Mt. Calvary Cemetery and another towards the front, along Paine Street. If it is after hours (after 6:30-7:30 pm) and you find yourself needing access in or out of the cemetery, these breaks are a lifesaver! Although I wouldn't personally be going through in the dark...tried it once and swear I saw a huge shadow where I know there isn't anything normally. I ran out with my dog, heart racing, squealing like a little girl. This is my go-to spot for dog walks, and the park is dog-friendly (as long as they are leashed and properly cleaned up after). I also begin all of my runs here, as cutting across the cemetery allows me to easily connect to Walk Hill Street and then to Forest Hills Cemetery and/or the Arnold Arboretum without having to deal with too much cars, exhaust and traffic on American Legion Highway or Hyde Park Avenue. One thing - no trash cans anywhere. So be prepared to carry out whatever you choose to carry in. I will continue to enjoy Mt. Hope for all it has to offer, and pray that the zombie apocalypse never happens - or I'm totally screwed.

While I was wandering around, a maintenance worker asked if I found what I was looking for and of course I couldn't find her among the grounds. He said to go back the next day and ask for him so he can drive me directly to her. I did just that and the entire staff was so friendly and out- going! The guy from the day before, drove me to my great grandmother's site and cleaned off all the surrounding weeds and was so helpful! If I lived in Boston, I would definitely used this location. It is beautiful and very historic!! The only problems I found were the geese, but that is pretty hard to control. Also, the grass could use more maintenance like weed control.

We met with Bill from the Kingston location Monday morning. We went over all the costs and details. For a one day 4 hour wake and a meet at the cemetery funeral it was over $9000 without including casket, vault, or anything like that. When we were there Monday morning Bill said my MIL was already embalmed. We had the services on Saturday so 6 days from the date she passed. On the morning of the wake Bill calls me and tells me that my MIL does not look good and she has significant blisters on her face and we should do a closed casket (not my MIL wishes)! Now an embalmed body properly done should not show signs of blistering by day 6. Bill stated he would talk to the owner about getting the embalming fee reimbursed. So the following Tuesday I sent an email to the owners and never got a response. I waited a week and contacted Bill. He stated that the office would give me a call. 5 more days go by with no call. Finally I threaten them with contacting the state and after 2 more phone calls to the answering service someone calls me back and states a refund will be going out in the mail. A whole $690 back from over $9000 given to them for this egregious mishap. $90 of that was because we paid for a hair stylist to come in and do her hair. Also the day of the wake the doorman kept asking the 18-22 year old females "what's the password" before he would open the door for them. Like way to be creepy! Needless to say, we got some money back for their mistake but it doesn't negate the fact that family feels like they never had a real chance to say goodbye. Also never a response from ownership of the funeral home or an apology in any way! I would stay far away from this place!
