Sara, who handled Luca's intake was kind and compassionate; Derek, who managed Luca's care thereafter was diligent and thorough. Luca was picked up by Final Gift from our home-vet, then transported to their facility. My wife and I picked him up 2 days later. Final Gift placed his cremains into a beautiful, well-made, bamboo urn that was provided complimentary, the urn was then placed inside a blue velvet bag. We purchased a hand-made urn and transferred Luca once home and found inside, his cremains were placed into a blue silk pouch bag. Such quality and such care given to our cherished pet. We are so thankful for Final Gift (this is the third beloved rottweiler of ours that they have cremated over more than 20 years). There is perhaps no greater gift that you can give to your pet. Now Luca will also be with us forever. We highly recommend Final Gift!! Chuck & Beverly Caffarella

Mr. Michael Farrow explained every step of the process, service selection, and even gave us options for the Mercy Meal after the service. If was if if he knew my father and the care and respect showed was greatly appreciated. Michael also helped us schedule the services as to not impact the family due to other services scheduled around the same time. Our father looked amazing and at peace, they did an amazing job--everyone was impressed. We were never rushed. We were able to make changes during the process as well with no issues or questions. Mercadante's also has kept in touch after the services were completed, this was not expected; yet welcomed as it has been helping us during the healing process. They also handled all the paperwork for his certificate of death, social security, etc. Everyone was professional, caring, and understanding--as I stated, they treated us like "family" from start to finish. Thank You Michael Farrow and Mercadante's Staff.

The loss of a loved one is one of the worst things any of us will ever endure in this lifetime. Unfortunately, we've had to experience it multiple times over the past years in multiple states and with multiple different funeral homes. I can not express in words how comforting it was to hire Richard at Fitzgerald Collins Funeral Home in Marlborough, MA to handle our family member's funerals with trust, respect, solidarity, compassion, and true professionalism! I found him not only to be very knowledgeable and informative but most importantly he was extremely transparent and HONEST with us about everything. I'm not much of a pushover and I've definitely seen other funeral homes prey on distraught people (such as my mother when my father passed) but my experience with Richard and his funeral home was the exact opposite which was refreshing! He didn't try to BS me and after planning so many funerals over the years I would have seen it coming a mile away if he had tried. Thank you Richard for treating us and our family with the utmost dignity and respect and most of all for being an honest person! Always continue to treat your customers the way you'd want your family to be treated (which is how you treated us) and I have no doubt that God will continue to bless your business. Thanks for being an advocate for our family through this time of grief. (Both times!!!) Highly recommended local business! A+++

Their professional experience and knowledge were there every step of the way providing information we needed or recommending something we did not think of as we were all mourning our loss. The services were given in the funeral home and once again, absolutely beautiful and perfect. Their detail to everything also carried through to the gravesite sight where military honors took place, perfectly timed music and taps. Thank you, Jim, John and Dave.

When I arrived at the funeral home my first intention was to kneel at my mother's casket. But, I could not do that because there was no kneeler. Two of my friends noticed the same thing. I asked the three employees at the funeral home if there was no kneeler because of covid, and I told them last week the CDC reversed its guidelines. The gentleman who answered me said he knew that, but business owners could make their own decisions about their business. None of the three people made a motion to get a kneeler, and none of them asked me to wait while they got one. So I told them I was very disappointed. There was no mask mandate at Slattery. There was no social distancing at Slattery. No one asked for anyone's vaccination status. No one asked if anyone had been in contact with someone who had covid. The mourners hugged, kissed, shook hands, and were within inches of each other at times. So, why was there a concern about someone getting sick from kneeling in front of my mother's casket versus standing at her casket? My mother was a lifelong Catholic until she was no longer able to attend mass. There was a crucifix behind her casket. Her funeral service was at a Catholic church, where we kneeled as we prayed during the mass. Why weren't we given the same opportunity to kneel and pray at my mother's casket? I attended a wake this year, also in massachusetts, and there was a kneeler. I personally feel it was disrespectful to not have a kneeler for those who chose to use it. Anyone who did not choose to use it could stand.
