    My deepest sympathies. I’ve lost a friend, a teacher and mentor. Brandeis University will seem that much empty knowing I’ll never be driving my friend around campus anymore.
    Thank You Ed for being my friend and teacher in life.

    Eddie and Joanie were such good friends to my parents. I have the warmest childhood memories of visits with them, and I always admired the deep affection Eddie held for my dad. He was an usher in my parents’ 1954 wedding and a lifelong devoted friend of our family. The world has lost a great educator, an outspoken champion for children, a loving family man, and a true gentleman. One of my favorite childhood photos is of me in the 60s cuddling with my stuffed collie dog, ‘FoxEd’ named after the ones who gifted it to me. Eddie and Joanie meant so much to my folks. May he find my dad waiting for him in Heaven with open arms. Mia and Nancy, may your fond memories give you strength and peace.

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.
