    I was a student of Ed’s in printing shop at Revere High 1970’s. Great guy! Last time I seen him was February, 2014 in the hallway of the Mass General. We laughed and reminisced about his boyhood being part of the “Vane Street Indians” where I grew up, too. Peace and strength to his family.

    I first met Ed in Peter Palladino’s coffee shop when a group of us started the Revere Historical Society. He was so supportive and thoughtful. He always spoke with me whenever we met and encouraged the group.
    I am sad to hear of his passing. He was a true part of the fabric of Revere. HIs legacy remains with all of us and urges us to do our best as well.
    Prayers for Ed and his family.

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.
