To our families, friends, neighbors & guests
It has always been our goal to strive to make every funeral to be a meaningful & dignified experience for both our families & their loved ones. As we are encountering these very troubling times in the world with COVID- 19 (Coronavirus), we must follow specific orders from Governor Charles Baker, the Center for Disease Control, City of Boston Health Department as well as the Archdiocese of Boston and other Religious Denomination guides for Funeral Services. On March 22, 2021, Governor Baker moved the re-opening process to Phase Four, Step One. The protocols are now allowing larger occupancy limits for indoor gatherings. However, the City of Boston has stricter occupancy requirements allows funeral gatherings to 40% percent occupancy with restrictions in place as to face coverings and social distancing for all. Contact tracing information will be taken at all funeral gatherings.
Please know that we are following this situation as it unfolds. It is our intention to assist our families with respect, dignity & honor our services. We kindly ask all visitors to the funeral home to pay their respects to the family and exit the building, allowing for others to do the same. This is not an easy time, but we must be vigilant & unified while supporting one another.
We strongly encourage you to share your condolences online by signing our online guestbooks.
Thank you for your understanding, please keep yourselves safe.
