Knowing how confused and just out of your mind you are, reeling from a sudden loss, having someone like Christine Nardone help you through all the details, even helping prepare us for things like who we needed to provide death certificates to, was truly a Godsend. She helped us prepare a beautiful send off for a very loved, creative individual, understanding how important it was to have him dressed in his comfortable jeans, whimsical t-shirt and flannel shirt. He was a musician, and we displayed his beloved bass guitars alongside him. More than one of our musician friends remarked how they hoped for something like that when their time came. I love them and they truly provided us with the kindest, warmest services for our loved one. No detail was missed.

I was referred to speak with Bob Timmerman at Eaton Funeral Home while my mother was receiving…read morehospice care in her home. Bob listened to my mother's wishes and never tried to sell us anything in excess of the modest services we required. The service involved transporting my mother in a hearse from Needham, MA to Iselin, NJ. Bob was there every step of the way. He and a colleague came to bring my mother to the funeral home at 5AM and treated my mother gently and respectfully. He actually drove the hearse himself and remained for the entire graveside ceremony. I am currently in a lot of pain and attended the burial in a wheel chair. I was terrified of the wheelchair tipping over on the uneven ground of the cemetery but Bob, who is a large and strong man, took control of my wheelchair and skillfully got me to the graveside. He told me after the burial, that ours one of the most wonderful of the services he'd witnessed. Ours was very modest, with friends and family speaking from their heart about my mother, some with prepared scripts, some just impromptu. Also, my mother wanted a simple pine box but the coffin was actually attractive and we were surprised that they'd taken that much care with it. Everything went as smoothly as we could have asked for. I recommend Eaton Funeral Home and Bob Timmerman in particular.

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.

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.

We never felt pushed towards any decisions, he showed us options and let us decide always ready to answer questions. I hope I won't be planning a funeral for a long time, but I can tell you without a doubt I would work with Dee again.

From the very beginning the director/owner, Skip, was knowledgeable, understanding and kind. He provided guidance when his experience knew we needed it, and was extremely flexible on the family's needs as well. We didn't realize at the start of the process many funeral homes work closely with particular churches. Eaton has close relationships with several religious organizations in the community, and was the most flexible on helping find the right place for a service while respecting secular/agnostic view points. Throughout our services Eaton was very well staffed, helpful and kind. We can't recommend them more highly.
