Use of Facilities and Staff for Visitation

Other Preparation of Body

• Sanitary care, washing, and disinfection when no embalming is planned
• Special cosmetics when no embalming is planned

• Restorative work when necessary (we charge at a per-hour rate)
• An extra charge will apply for the preparation of an autopsied body

We are required by Massachusetts law to use a vehicle registered as a hearse to carry your loved one from his/her place of passing to our funeral home, and to his/her final resting place. Several other vehicles are used on the day of the funeral, and limousines are available.

With a modern interior and ample lighting in the rear casket compartment, you receive the elegant look required for the families you serve. Our fleet includes a number of modern hearses, as well as SUVs and luxury sedans for your loved ones.

Embalming is not required by law, except in certain special cases. Embalming may be necessary if you choose to have a viewing as part of the funeral arrangements, but may not be necessary if you choose to have a direct cremation or an immediate burial as part of the funeral arrangements.
