We buried my husband's father today, and very luckily for us, we went with Hays Funeral Home in…read moreNorthboro. Jeff is not only an amazing funeral director, he is a kind, compassionate, thoughtful, wonderful human being. Even though we'd arranged for pre-planned services many years ago, Jeff treated us as if we were writing a check today! My father-in-law passed away at 6:00 in the morning in a nursing home. I received a call from Jeff at 7:30am telling me he's picked up dad, and he was safe in the funeral home. He arranged for a time that was convenient for us to come in much later that day to make Dad's final arrangements. I swear he works about 20 hours a day! While dad had done the original planning years ago, Jeff still helped us put together a service which was perfect for our family, and did everything we asked to honor the great man our father was. All the details were handled beautifully, and we didn't need to worry about a thing. Dad was very ill at the end of his life and had lost a significant amount of weight, so we were worried about how he would look for the calling hours. No worry needed. Jeff prepared our dad for burial expertly, and made him look like he was younger and healthier again. In fact, it was so comforting for us to say it looked like he was just taking a nap. Dad was a veteran, so Jeff arranged for a service with full military honors, which was so important to Dad, and meant so much to us. I cannot more highly recommend Jeff and Hays Funeral Home. The genuine care and concern he showed for all of us and his expertise in his craft created a beautiful memory for us rather than just a sad day of loss. Thank you Jeff, and Rachel, for all you did for us. We could not possibly be any more pleased with the services and burial. Thank you for creating a last memory of our Dad that we'll treasure forever. You have our lasting gratitude. The family of Gordon Maccabee

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.

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+++
