We attended a viewing and memorial services at Cabot & Sons Funeral Home on a Friday evening for a dear family friend. Cabot & Sons have plenty of parking available for guests. They have their own parking lot. The establishment is very nice and comforting. The funeral director was very warm and welcoming along with other staff. They were sincere and genuine. They also have a huge dining area with a kitchen in the very back of the building for reception use. Several round tables were laid out here along with buffet tables for food. It was nicely set up. The viewing and memorial service was in the front of the building as you come in on your left side. It was a good size room and plenty of pews for guests. They also had a projector to show videos and photos along with a podium for the speaker. It was the first time we heard of Cabot & Sons Funeral Home. This is also our first visit at Cabot & Sons Funeral Home on Chester St. They did a wonderful job with the viewing and memorial service of our dear family friend. read more

We were here for a service. It was really nice and the facility is well maintained. There are portraits of, I believe Cabot & Sons, as well as nice sketches and art. Staff is attentive and sincere. The service ran late and they were kind enough to extend. The parking is spacious. Something I was concerned with because the area is usually very busy. Cabot & Sons really makes it easy for their clients to spend time and appreciate ones life. Thank you. read more

Cabot & Sons is a family owned & operated funeral home that provides funeral, memorial, and cremation services. The staff are professional & compassionate and they will come to your home to pick up a loved one to prepare them for burial or cremation. They will assist with selecting a casket or urn and will prepare the death certificate as well. I've used their services several times over the past years - pick up loved ones, funeral service, burial, and most recently a cremation. If or when the time arises, I will call on them again. read more

Our family previously worked with Cabot & Sons and considered using them once again. Death and grief is not easy, but Cabot made the process of planning the family viewing and cremation in a less stressful manner. The chapel is spacious and calming as well as the entire office. We also picked out the urn in a private room and was able to order from a catalog and add accessories to the urn (crucifix) as well as the plaque. Our family was pleased with the professionalism and sincere commitment by Cabot. Will definitely recommend to extended family and friends. read more

Professional and personal service. Well experienced staff friendly and compassionate . Flexible schedule

We were very happy with their services and kindness. Everyone was professional and empathetic in this difficult time. Should we require these services again we'll turn to Cabot and Sons. read more

My dad unexpectedly passed away the last week of December 2023. When my sister and I got to my parents' house, the paramedics had already left and the Pasadena Police were there. We weren't sure on next steps and the officer recommended we try calling Cabot & Sons. They picked up right away and told us they would be on their way to the house. The three of us ended up heading over there a few hours later to discuss what we wanted to do. Everyone was very kind and patient and assisted my mom with necessary paperwork. We ultimately had my dad cremated and we came back the following week with our family to pick up his ashes. The whole experience was not stressful at all and they were very accommodating and professional throughout the whole thing. read more

This is an update to the review by my sister, Alexandra G, two months ago in June 2025. In my experience interacting with Cabot and Sons Funeral Home after our mother passed away, they provided professional and compassionate services. The delays mentioned in my sister's review were non-consequential in the end. Chris worked with me throughout the process. He completed the death certificate based on information I collected, sent me a draft for final review, and sent it to the county health department by the deadline. After cremation, our mother lingered longer than planned at the funeral home, as she had often done in life. I was busy with other things and did not contact Cabot to confirm that her ashes had been transported to the cemetery in another state. Fortunately, Chris identified the delay and called me. She has now arrived at her final resting place in good time. I found Cabot and Sons staff to be hard-working, understanding, flexible, and kind. They are one of the few remaining family owned and operated funeral homes. I feel grateful to have worked with them in this difficult time. read more

Such care and attention to details when I was unable to focus on anything else except our loss of a loved one. I highly recommend this place to take care of you in these difficult times. read more

During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Cabot & Sons provided a level of care, compassion, and professionalism that went far beyond our expectations. From the very beginning, they made the process feel personal -- not like a business transaction, but more like a shared experience rooted in empathy and culture. They guided us through every step of the planning with patience and warmth, making sure we never felt alone. Their team was incredibly respectful, attentive, and thoughtful, helping us honor our father in a way that truly reflected who he was. We are extremely grateful for everything they did to make this time a little easier for our family. Thank you for helping us feel at peace and supported during such a heartbreaking moment.

Upon the passing of our mother, choosing Cabot's proved to be one of the most fortunate decisions we could have made. From the very first contact, the associate who responded, Eddie, treated our family with genuine sensitivity and respect. He took exceptional care in tending to our mother and transporting her with dignity. We were so impressed by his professionalism and kindness that we specifically requested Eddie's presence and assistance on the day of the funeral. On the day of the service, David & Eddie were once again outstanding- caring, professional, and fully attentive. They ensured that every detail and aspect of the service was first rate and truly fitting for our mother. Throughout the entire process--before, during, and after our mother's passing--Funeral Director David was consistently anticipatory, patient, and responsive attending to every detail. At no point did we feel pressured, including regarding payment, and we found their costs to be extremely reasonable. We are deeply grateful for the support, compassion, and professionalism shown to our family. We would highly and wholeheartedly recommend Cabot's to anyone in need of funeral services. read more

Provided comprehensive care in my mother's service plans. She planned everything ahead of time in 1987. They had all the paperwork and honored their commitments in the contract. Been doing business with them for 100 years. Professional and returned my many calls. They are a true family run and owned business. No small task to stay in business this long with a solid reputation. My mom looked beautiful. Thank you. read more

My friend spoke to Cabot four times and asked to let them know when their loved one would be cremated and when they could pick up the cremains,and to set aside some personal items. Well, they gave conflicting dates as to the cremation, and they had to keep calling to confirm when to get his cremains. When they arrived, they learned he had been cremated with the personal items, and then lied and said there had been no phone calls -- and my friend showed them the times of the four phone calls from his phone records. What a nightmare awful place read more

They handled my dad's final arrangements with compassion and professionalism. Highly recommend.

Losing a loved one is never easy. I highly recommend Cabot & Sons to help you during this difficult time. My sister passed away unexpectedly and I knew Cabot & Sons were the people I would call. My family had used their services before and we were always appreciative of their help. However, this time they went above and beyond their duties. My sister passed away late at night in Pasadena. I called Cabot & Sons and they were able to retrieve my sister's body quickly and respectfully. I appreciated that they gathered most of the information they needed from the Sheriff and just needed me to confirm everything was correct on the form. They offered their condolences and I was comforted in knowing my sister was safe in their care until I was ready to move on to the next step. Before my appointment at the funeral home, I researched Cabot & Son's website. They had a general price list so I can go over their services. This was really helpful as it gave me an idea of what I was going to be able to do to help my sister. A few days later, I was lucky enough to meet Ryan at the funeral home. I expected to put on a brave face, sign paperwork and leave. However, Ryan helped me personalize a viewing that my sister would have approved. He offered wonderful advice that showed me he really cared about honoring my sister's life. For example, he said to pick shoes my sister would like even if it was a pair of home slippers. Ryan also gave tips on what her final outfit should be to make her most presentable. He also suggested placing something in her casket that's meaningful to her. Ryan also helped me pick flowers for her casket that fit her personality. He also let me know that cremations need to be in a wooden box if I will be traveling with them on an airplane overseas. Ryan also helped me make sure the montage video worked properly a few days before the viewing. He also recommended Deacon Ron to speak at the viewing. The reason I am most thankful for Ryan is the way he was able to handle a disagreement among family members. Ryan offered possible solutions to our dilemma. He went above and beyond his duties to try to make the resolution a reality. I know Ryan was doing everything in his power to help respect my sister's wishes. At the end of it all, Ryan was able to resolve the dilemma and he really saved the day. Thanks to Ryan, my sister will be able to rest in peace. On the day of the viewing, Christopher and Lucas were so kind and helpful during the whole process. Christopher offered to let us borrow nice baskets to place some individually wrapped tissues. I brought the tissues in a Mickey Mouse plastic container that was not appropriate. I probably didn't need to bring tissues because there were some in the pews that were provided by the funeral home. Lucas was kind enough to log my iPad onto their wifi so that I could Facebook Live Stream to the family and friends in the Philippines. Christopher also helped me with some last minute requests. For example, my aunt told me the rosary my sister was holding needed to be cut for superstitious reasons. Mr. Cabot helped me find the gold necklace my sister always wore around her neck. I didn't know if my sister had it at the time of her death. I thought it was gone but the funeral home was able to locate it. I would also like to mention their facilities are very nice and clean. Everything from the viewing room to the conference room to the banquet room to the bathrooms to the parking lot provided a warm ambiance. A few days after the viewing, I met with Ryan to finalize payment and pick up the death certificates. I always appreciated Ryan calling and updating me every step of the way. Ryan would call to make sure we had everything ready for my sister and he even asked about my newborn baby. I was under so much stress but I honestly felt relief when I saw a call from Ryan. If you need a helping hand during a difficult time, I highly recommend you reach for Ryan and the staff at Cabot & Sons. They will care for you and your loved one as if you were their own family. read more

It seems like people are passing away left and right . Here is a little bit Of advice from your friend Crystal, if somebody mean something to you please speak on their behalf. Don't be worried about crying in front of people that doesn't matter ! Tell the stories tell the jokes tell the good times . Nothing is worse than planning on saying some thing getting nervous and not doing it. Living with regret sucks. A constant state of looking in the mirror and reenacting what you were gonna say every time we're in the car alone. IT SUCKS ! Never again. If I love you, I'm gonna tell everybody, even if I make a fool out of myself and cry. In this situation My ex boyfriend of seven years Boris ! Do I have some stories to tell ! I was not gonna leave without saying my piece. As an extra precaution, I figured out that if I got there first I wouldn't be nervous. That way people had to get comfortable with me not the other way around. So by the time it came to the talking part I already knew everybody . Soon we all started filling up the viewing room. A little intro and then it was open mic. Please come up and tell stories of Boirs. Couple ex girlfriends hairdresser and 2 best friend. Now I'm waiting for my brothers& six other friends to show up . I keep sending text messages hurry! Without no warning, the man from the mortuary says let's keep talking about Boirs. He says a poem, and then he says that the service is over. What ???? He could've warned me and said, is there anybody else who wants to talk cause I would've said me! Immediately, I sent text messages to his daughter. Hey, I didn't get to go up. She gets on the microphone and Thanks, everybody for coming . Well, I wasn't taking no for an answer it's not over till I say it's over!!!!!! I immediately walked up there and said I know it's over but I got some stuff to say ! This man spoiled me more than anybody in my whole life. It was seven years of giving me everything that I wanted. Taking care of my family my brothers all my dogs. If anybody had amazing things to say about Boirs, it's definitely me. I know when you get up there. You're so nervous ! I learned from a Actor friend to stop and take time for yourself to adjust. Don't rush through it. It's your time you make the pace . Trying to slow the situation from stopping so that my brothers can make it. Finally, I see all of them coming .They were able to see the end of my speech . I sat down and looked at my brother . Go up now because it's over. My brother would go up and hit it right out of the ballpark. Somebody told us yeah you can tell you guys are related the Godoy's just have Pazzaz ! Anything for Boirs. I like this business just fine next time warn people before You're going to take away the microphone. Almost had Live with regret ! #ToBoirs #5Stars read more

Nightmare experience. Cabot lost our mother's Death certificate, causing a huge mess. Then a year after they were supposed to have sent her ashes to a cemetery out of state, we were informed that our mother's ashes were at Cabot "longer than permitted." Meanwhile, we thought this was all taken care of! Please, folks, if you care about your loved ones and their remains, avoid this company at ALL costs!!! read more

My mother passed very suddenly and I realized how unprepared she really was. She made no arrangements, other than where she was to be buried. When my hospice nurse/friend recommended Cabot, I was very grateful. No request was too silly or extreme when it came to planning my mother's, and seven short months later, my stepfather's service. Chris, Craig, everyone, was always so professional. 24-hour service so there was always someone available to speak to. All the tasks that needed to be done, I had no idea about, but they were supportive and there every step of the way. It was not a great time in my life; however, Cabot & Sons made the difficult so much more manageable. Thanks, Chris. read more

They did an amazing job for my mother's funeral services on Wednesday, March 13, 2024. David Cabot was very responsive to our needs and great pleasure to deal with. He made sure that everything was coordinated from beginning to end. Thank you, Cabot & Sons. read more

My siblings and I highly recommend Cabot & Sons as they truly helped our family through an overwhelmingly sad situation. We worked with Ryan for the service and he was so kind, responsive, and helpful from the initial planning stages through the service itself, and afterwards as well. The other employees we encountered were also so lovely during a difficult time. Our mother passed in the middle of the night and we called Cabot just before midnight. Two kind young gentlemen arrived within half an hour in suits and their gentleness at that time was unexpected and as soothing as the situation could possibly be. I'm so glad we chose Cabot & Sons to guide us through such a difficult time and highly recommend them. read more

No one ever wants to do a Yelp search for a mortuary, but I found myself doing that very thing three weeks ago when my father passed away. I called Cabot & Sons and David answered the phone. He made the process very simple and I found the pricing to be reasonable. We ended up doing a basic cremation and scattered the ashes at sea using a company they referred, and it was all a very smooth process. There was never any pressure and David was always very easy to contact and work with. If you find yourself in need of there services, I would definitely recommend them. read more

I reached out to Cabot & sons last minute when my dad passed away. They answered every question and explained the process how with so much empathy. Ryan helped me and my family throughout the whole process and was so caring and truly incredible. I will forever be beyond grateful for how he made sure everything went for us and to make sure we had the perfect farewell for my dad. The best of the best. read more

They did an amazing job with everything. They have a great team from beginning to end. I recommend to everyone give them a call. They will answer all your questions if not they will find the information that you need. read more

My parents have very limited means. When my dad went on hospice, two years ago, my mother and I went to three different mortuaries for pricing. Cabot and Sons made us feel so comfortable and their pricing was in line with or lower than the others. They also had experience working with the veterans cemetery... no up charges. From the time my dad passed until the graveside service in Riverside everything was handled, professionally and compassionately. My 93-year-old mom wanted to make arrangements in advance for her home going and we were back there working with Cabot and Sons. A big thank you for making this whole process seamless. She trusts them to be there for our family whether she has a few years or lots more. read more

Highly recommend. They are professional, empathetic, and very meticulous. They really worked with our family to get everything done on a short turnaround. read more

Should've left a review a long time ago. 4 years ago a nasty cremation home left me helpless with my mom in a box separated from her urn saying they don't put the ashes inside for you??? I had no idea what to do I was in tears my family and I drove to here, Cabot and sons, and begged them for help. They gladly helped us and placed my mother's ashes inside of her urn and even inside of my necklace they were so kind and understanding no charge even I couldn't thank them enough. I was so devestated. 4 years later today, they helped me again by placing her ashes into a piece for my father just in time for mother's day I was so thankful. If you're looking for somewhere don't look anywhere else this is the place!! Thank you so much with all my heart! My family and friends thank you Cabot and sons! read more

Thank You! Very friendly, helpful and kind. We could not have chosen a better place to have a funeral service for my father. They were able to schedule us in within a couple of days of my father's passing. Even with all of these COVID-19 restrictions. They are very professional and are great at what they do. We were able to set up a couple of flower arrangements and pictures in the lobby area. They provide you with easels to display your loved one's pictures. We were also able to use their digital projector to view a video that our brother made to honor our dad. I cannot thank you enough, God bless. *My dad had an open casket therefore I cannot show any pictures of his service. But it was simply Perfect. read more

Cabot & Sons is simply amazing! My son passed after battling cancer and they did everything they could to make this process easy. Being that it was for a child with cancer when trying to preplan I found many mortuaries were not comfortable but Cabot's did not hesitate when we called the morning of his passing. My gut told me to call them and it was the right choice. We had chosen to donate our sons tumor and blood and they helps us with transportation and it was all so organized. They were extremely communicative and friendly. His service was absolutely beautiful and the staff were so sensitive to the fact that it was a child. They allowed us to have beautiful decor and accommodated all our requests. Their chapel is beautiful and modern. They have lots of room and a great multimedia set up. They provided us the absolutely best Deacon for our sons services. There prices are extremely reasonable. I'm so happy we were with Cabot & Sons. They are simply the best and you will be happy you picked them too. read more

We had the pleasure of working with Chris, David and Ryan, and could not have been treated more respectfully and professionally. From our first encounter with their team, to the last details at the cemetary, the Cabot & Sons team displayed their knowledge and experience by handling every detail with care. We couldn't recommend them more! read more

So glad we decided to go with Cabot & sons. They were extremely kind and helpful during the entire process.

My Brother in Law passed away unexpectedly at 46. My sister was not prepared financially. We made an appt. with Ryan Murphy to go over pricing. He handed us a packet, and when we were not ready to commit we were told to take some time. We were basically left to figure out the pricing off the packet. He did not seem interested in pulling up a computer to give us actual pricing on what we wanted or desired unless we were ready to commit. A few days later we visited Mountain View in Altadena. The woman there pulled out her computer was very professional in giving pricing. Today I decided to call Ryan to ask for pricing once again before making a final decision. My sister was not financially prepared for this expense and I did not think there was anything wrong in comparing prices. Ryan was completely rude, unprofessional and said he was not able to do that. In fact he knew we had visited MV. He voiced that In a situation like this they prefer not to stress the family. Quite the contrary Ryan, you did leave us stressed not wanting us to check pricing in a situation we were not prepared for. Thank you Cabot and Sons for a horrible experience. A rich persons mortuary who clearly does not need business and has no desire to work with anyone struggling during a situation such as ours. Thank you Ryan Murphy for your rude, dry mannerism. We were disconnected and you refused to take my call immediately after and you never followed up. You are a winner ! read more

Cabot & Sons were recommended by a friend when my father passed away. They took such good care of my father and our family; their staff was very professional and sympathetic. Always kept in touch with us and were excellent at communicating via email and/or phone. When I went to pick up my fathers ashes, I asked how I would get more death certificates and Chris said to just call them. I will definitely use their services again. read more

Cabot and Sons is one of (if not) the most professional businesses I have ever dealt with and our experience could not have been better. I lost my father unexpectedly in early April during the height of the COVID-19 situation, and while he passed due to other reasons, it was extremely difficult to make suitable arrangements. On the day he passed, our family had made multiple calls to several funeral homes in the area, and were devastated upon hearing that a small group (5) like ours could not be allowed to view the remains or be around for the memorial ceremony (only 1 family member was allowed). It was very stressful until we made the call to Cabot and sons FH. I had spoken with Chris Cabot and within minutes, he had a plan in place to take care of my dad's final services, at a price that was very reasonable. He was very professional, kind, and compassionate and was able to assuage any fears/concerns that we had. Throughout every step of the process, he kept us well informed, and he was quick to answer any questions that came up, or provide any services that we needed. If I ever need these services again, I could never see myself going anywhere else. A very big thank you goes out to Chris and staff for helping us through that very difficult time. Thank you very much! read more

Cabot & Son's was the best choice for my grandmother's memorial service & reception. Kudos to David Cabot who made sure the planning process was very easy for me, being that I planned her memorial from Illinois prior to arriving there the week of her memorial. The day of the event, both David & Kevin as well as the Staff made sure everything was perfect and went above and beyond to provide such professional yet personable service to me, my family & guests. Their facility is beautiful from the moment you walk through the door. I would highly recommend Cabot & Son's Funeral Home. read more

I recently had my fathers service at Cabot and Sons and Esther went above and beyond my expectations. She was informative, attentive, sincere and she had empathy. I was lost when I started the process and she helped me out so much. Thank you so much for your help. read more

To ANYONE in need of their services, Cabot and Sons is your best choice. C&S did a great job with our brother Timothy's final needs, so naturally we utilized them again for our Mother Mary's, and we could NOT be happier with every aspect of their services; from start to finish. Chris, David and the entire staff are the absolute best! Our Mother was 96 years old, and C&S's beautician brought her beauty out, just as our Mother deserved. We know she would have loved every aspect as well. Rating from 1 to 10 with 10 being best; 11+! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. Sincerely, William, Michael and the Kelly Family read more
