Frank Joyce and his team at Joyce Funeral Home took tremendous care of my elderly mother in making and 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. read more

Cannot say enough about the services at Joyce. They are phenomenal!! A complete family team that works so well together. Met with Frank who made us feel so comfortable. We filled in the blanks, sent pictures and they ran the show from there. They took it all and made the place be all about my husband. I could never have done so well. The kept the whole place organized with the lines and the service. Thanks for making my husband's memory a wonderful night. read more

Again, Frank Joyce and all the personnel at Joyce Funeral Home of Waltham have performed a wonderful service for my family. From original planning sessions, through the entire process of transportation, body preparation, wake, service, and burial, Joyce handled every aspect of my brother's funeral. Frank's professionalism and the empathy he has for his clients is obvious and invaluable. My father, mother, and brother have been truly and compassionately cared for. Thank you all.

My aunt recently passed and my cousin chose Joyce Funeral Home. I experienced exceptional care and compassion toward my family and the room was beautifully decorated with the family pictures and video that were provided by my cousin. The wall collage was beautiful and have never seen the projections of pictures on the wall before. The memorial cards were beautiful as there were 3 different kinds. Everyone that I came into contact that worked there was so kind and professional. Again, thank you to the Joyce Funeral Home. You are the best. read more

From the bottom of my heart Thank you Frank Joyce for your comfort you gave my family and myself. read more

We couldn't have been happier. My three year old niece passed away unexpectedly and tragically. A recommendation was give for Joyce Funeral Home. My sweet niece was treated as a princess from start to finish, as she should have been. They helped us with the process from start to finish as well as getting her here from another state. There are not enough words or thank you's in this world at what an amazing job they did. I highly recommend Joyce Funeral Home and will certainly use them again in the future. read more

My Mother recently passed and they made the entire process so easy and walked us thru the whole process. There are not enough words to say what a great job they did or how amazed everyone who visited was. If you want to see something done right don't go anywhere else. While this should have been the saddest day of my life I was happy because everything was perfect. I am so grateful to them for such a great job. Make the right choice and choose Joyce. read more

So pleased. My family used this home for my grandmother's services and I couldn't be more satisfied. They helped lessen the load of losing a loved one and everything that comes after that. We had never used a funeral home before and they made is simple for us. They took care of everything efficiently, and i mean everything. They are professionals! Highly recommend! read more

All I can say is thank you. The entire Joyce family made the passing of my Mother In Law calm and with dignity. Not a single detail was missed. To see the release of pain from my wife's face with the oncoming task fade with our first meeting put all into perspective. The care that your staff put forward to her wake, services and final resting place was as if it was one of their on family members had passed. We joked, we laughed and we cried together. Thank you, God Bless. read more

Best choice we could have made. We took other reviews as help to select Joyce Funeral Home. The recommendations and reviews are as honest and true as our own experience. From the moment we called just after our father's passing, to a follow up email a month after the lovely wake and funeral, we were given the kindest, most professional help. It really made such a difficult time so much easier. The opinion about open vs. closed casket in our family was split and thanks to the options Joyce offered, we were able to provide the right opportunity for us all to say our final farewell to our father, husband, grandfather, friend that was right for each of us. It's a comfort to know that when our dear mother decides it's her time to join her life's love and partner, we have this covered. read more

Joyce Funeral Home really came through for us at such a difficult time. Their service and responsiveness were excellent from the beginning. They were very detail-oriented and patiently answered our questions. I highly recommend them. read more

I honestly can't imagine anyone doing better than these people. The facility is fantastic. The pictures provided were digitally projected above the casket and around the visiting area. We aren't very religious, so they connected us with a nun that was so great to us, without any heavy handed religious overtones, but at the same time she was very spiritual. They were a calming influence on everyone, provided recommendations that turned out to be very valuable, coordinated with the military as the deceased was a veteran, in one of the side rooms they had a jigsaw puzzle that was made up of a collage of photos of the deceased, etc., etc., etc. I am not exaggerating when I say that at least a dozen people came up to the family and said "This is incredible!" or "I've never seen anything like this!" Absolutely over the top -- THE BEST we've ever dealt with (and unfortunately I'm at the age where we've dealt with quite a few). read more

I don't know where to begin. The entire Joyce family is outstanding! Handling the arrangements for the passing of my husband was so difficult for me, but with the caring of Frank, Kathy & Maura and the entire staff, I somehow got thru it. They gave him a great send off and their attention to every detail couldn't have been more positive. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you. read more

When it came to planning the funeral of my beloved father whose death was unexpected and sudden, my mother and I were overcome with grief. We were literally driving around looking for funeral homes while sobbing. We had looked at reviews online and drove by a few places but nothing felt right until we arrived at Joyce Funeral Home. I cannot express enough how loving, supportive, and detail oriented these people are. They took us in and literally carried us at our weakest moment in life. They took care of everything and then some. They sat with us for an hour and took hand written notes asking questions about my dad, his life, our family, then proceeded to write the most beautiful obituary I've ever read (I'm not just saying that because it was my father). In fact, people couldn't believe we did not write it because it included so many details about his life and who he was as a person. The funeral home was under construction during my father's funeral and they told us 1/2 of the room would be under construction, but on the day of my dad's wake and funeral, you could not tell at all. They made the room look lovely nobody had any idea there was any construction at all. Finally, they put together a DVD, puzzle, thank you notes, huge poster and cards they gave us with all of the pictures of my father on them. I am about to celebrate the first anniversary of my father's death and looking back, Joyce Funeral Home was a true blessing and helped my mother and I begin to heal during the most tragic time of our lives. We cannot thank them enough! read more

Joyce Funeral Home recently handled the wake and funeral for my dad. I can't say enough positive things about Frank and his family and staff. They were all exceedingly professional, kind and caring and went above and beyond in their efforts to make it a meaningful and special celebration of my dad's life. It far exceeded our expectations and we were very moved to see how they had set up the rooms with all of the framed photos, photo collages, projected images, slide show and a number of other special touches that spoke to my dad's passions and life. They also arranged military honors for my dad on very short notice and were great with handling all of the logistics and making the process easy for my mom during a very difficult time. Their advice and suggestions throughout the process were all spot on. True professionals and very kind and compassionate human beings. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Thank you Frank and everyone else at Joyce Funeral Home. You were a blessing during a very difficult time. read more
