Sabia,Jr. was very helpful and caring. Unbelievably she got better and was eating and we were watching TV with her for the next two months. Sadly our mother did pass away. Campbell was very kind and honored any & all requests we made. They were very quick to help but not intrusive. For example her rosary beads were not with her when we arrived it was corrected in seconds, that is literal - seconds. Campbell put together a photo video of her life from when she was very young till a few days before her passing with some nice songs. We picked 2 but they added a couple that made the video even more heart felt, since she was our hero, if you know the song. Each of her children did receive the video, as well as it being on the website obituary since not all her friends & family could attend. Nice Touch! The flowers she received some were going to be donated. They brought the flowers to the nursing home she was at Blueberry Hill in Beverly when the service was over. They included a card saying they were from the family. RIP mom.

I ordered a headstone from Kimball Memorials for my son who died in a car accident. Two days after…read moreI ordered the headstone I had to cancel my order because I worked things out with the previous memorial company I was having issues with. Theresa from Kimball Memorials took my order and also took a $250 deposit via my credit card. I called Theresa three times an left voice mails and also sent them an email from their web site asking nicely for my deposit back. They never returned my calls or answered my email. I finally called my credit card company and explained the situation to them. The c/c company agreed with me and immediately refunded my $250. Kimball Memorials is also much more expensive than the other memorial companies in the North Shore of Boston, Ma area. They quoted me $2000 more for the headstone I ordered than the company I'm currently working with. I would suggest not doing business with them, especially if you have issues or need to contact them. They won't call you back or answer your emails and you'll need to fight for your deposit back.

I was at Mackey's recently for a service of a dear friend who was a very popular person so the line…read moreto pay your respects was extremely long. As I approached the family, I was told to sit down as they were going to begin their services. This was the second time I attended Mackey with the same Funeral Director did this. Unacceptable and have never seen this done before in all my years. It is not like they have another service beginning. For this reason I would consider having my service at another funeral home No one should be turned away after waiting in line for over a half hour I can honestly say this was not done at two other wakes that I attended there but then again it was a different funeral director running it

There is plenty of parking and even a comfort dog named Chief that sat in with us during the arrangements. He is so cute and even wears a little suit! The directors Bob and Dan were easy to talk with and guided us with several options and plans. When we arrived for the visiting, there was fresh coffee and light food, a perfect touch that the guests appreciated. Our family was extremely happy that we chose to use Mackeys in Middleton.

A very large…read moregraveyard Harmony Grove is a very large and cool cemetery. Opened it 1840, it is built on very uneven terrain and has some steep hills, great old trees and lots and lots of different types of gravestones and memorials. I'm not sure how many acres the cemetery has but it certainly is vast. A cool Gothic revival chapel built in 1905 is at the entrance and then the small roads just sort of meander over the hills and through the trees. Lot of huge, medium and small sized monuments. Some quite modest and others very impressive and not doubt expensive. Some famous people that I never heard of are buried here as well as a whole lot of not so famous and ordinary folks. Some obelisks, morbid looking angels, a Civil War monument and even a couple of old cannon are scattered about. Some of the gravestones are literally hanging on the edge of small cliffs. One of the very coolest and most interesting graveyards I have been to. You can quite literally spend hours walking around here. A cemetery that is a fascinating place to visit even if you don't know any of the residents.

Many of the older headstones are weathered and difficult to read, leaning to the side, and dated in the 1800s (my favorite kind of tombstones!). Foot traffic is pretty low but since it's still in a highly residential area, you can hear some traffic noises. There's tons of foliage here, too, which is a plus. YELP'S 2020 REVIEW CHALLENGE: #16

If you have more time...compassionate, dedicated, attentive, patient, responsive. Brian, Brandon, Lynn and team went above and beyond carefully listening and taking the time to understand our needs. They were always available to answer our questions and provide guidance during the planning process - and even more so after. Death of a loved one is an absolute emotional rollercoaster. We are beyond grateful for their support and expertise. HL Farmer and Sons Bradford is truly outstanding - there are no words to thank them enough. The Riley/May Family

My wife passed away from a long fight with cancer in July 2025.  I was devastated.  But I found the…read moreperfect place to honor and celebrate her - at O'Donnell's.  I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but O'Donnell's made it a reality and helped to fill in all of the important details to help her soul shine (she never needed any help with that in life). She touched so many people's lives and I knew we needed to find a special place - beautiful, open, intimate - befitting her spirit, but also large enough to accommodate the hundreds of people who would come to celebrate her life.   The facility was more like a beautiful event space than a dreary funeral home - it was warm and bright with lots of open windows - it just has a different vibe...   With their help, we planned a celebration of life that allowed us all (our family, friends & co-workers) to honor and remember Marissa the way she wanted.   They helped with the digital tribute and even did a second extremely personalized video tribute that we shared during her service.   They presented many options and choices but never forced us into anything and they were great listeners in helping us create the type of memorial that was just what we needed.   There were plenty of staff there to assist, we never worried about a thing. They let us focus on our friends and family as all the details were taken care of.   After the service they have been reaching out to check on me and help with all the people to notify. No one ever wants to do this - but Anthony and the team treated me like we're family.   They were professional but not stuffy... helpful but not bothersome.  They followed up but just enough... I want to especially thank Anthony O'Donnell, Brianna, and Diane for their compassion, kindness, and attention to detail.  I highly recommend O'Donnell's if you experience a loss like my own.
