    Carol DeMaino Spavento contacted me with this sad news. I just wanted to say how much Cathy meant to all of us growing up with her. She was a dear friend and lives so clearly in my fondest memories. She was sweet, funny, kind, gentle. quieter than me for sure, and we all loved her very much..Our time spent together, and there was a lot of time , was so filled with joy and camraderie in the Reveries and just here and there at the Ginsburg’s house, with the Salvaggios , and on all our many trips over the years with the drum corps and mutual friends..I could go on and on but I will end this by wishing her joy and peace in this next journey. She remains with us all..RIP Cathy…we love you …..Sincerest condolences to her family……

To all our families, friends, and residents of Revere, East Boston, and surrounding communities of the North Shore,

We would like to announce that after 37 years of caring for thousands of families at our 773 Broadway location, on January 31st, 2023 we will be officially RELOCATING, to our new location at 262 Beach St., Revere.
On September 30th, 2022, we proudly purchased the Vazza “Beechwood” Funeral Home – DiPietro and Vazza, Inc. A name that has served families for 102 years. We feel blessed that with all of the interest, the Vazza Family chose us to carry on their century old business and family name. We will become Vertuccio Smith & Vazza, Beechwood Home for Funerals. We will continue to honor the Vazza name and continue our commitment the same way that we always have. We also look forward to having both Louis Vazza and Jessica Vazza Ferragamo alongside of us, as we come together as one.
Our reputation has always been our biggest asset. For many years people always wanted us to have a larger facility, now our facility is the largest funeral home in the area. We will be making many beautiful upgrades to allow our families to have the most elegant facility to honor their loved one.
Although this announcement is bittersweet, as we say goodbye to our home, we are forever grateful for all of you for placing your constant faith and trust in us to care for your loved one. We will continue to do what we are best known for.
Thank you for your friendship and continued support.
God bless you all.
Faithfully,

Your friends at Vertuccio Smith and Vazza.
