They did a great job hand holding us through the whole process - obituary, casket, service, florist, mercy meal and cemetery. Without their help and guidance, I'm not sure we would have had the time to grieve. Eddie was exceptionally kind and patient with our family during such a difficult time. He had worked with many other Albanian Americans families, so he knew how to prepare for and accommodate all of our cultural practices'. Working with the right funeral home during a stressful time is extremely important!! P.E Murray Funeral Home worked within our budget while still meeting our families needs. I'm so glad we had the pleasure of working with them. They took the best care of our grandfather! Thank you Eddie and team!!

They make you feel like they are caring and sympathetic friends. The "home" is clean, welcoming, & gentle on your senses and the funds that we had available to spend. We couldn't be more pleased and thankful. We highly recommend them for helping you through that difficult time. They easily handled 2 separate services that we brought to them. Each needed a different approach which they handled with ease and gave us the outcome that we had hoped for.

    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.

    I was in Boston on vacation when I decided to go visit my great grandmother. I was bummed when I…read morediscovered that the office closed at 4pm and I had no way of finding the exact site. 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.
