    To George’s family, I was a classmate of George’s from the 8th grade on and always found him to be a wonderful person. His stewardship with the Revere Fire Dept. reflected credit upon himself and the city he served so well. Rest in peace!

    Taglieri Family,
    I am so terribly sorry for your loss of George. He was such a friendly man to talk to on Monday nights at the Saugus Bowling League in Wakefield. I will surely miss him as will the whole league I’m sure. My sincere sympathy to Yvonne and the whole family.

    Yvonne and family,

    I am so sorry for your loss. “Deputy Tag” was one of a kind. I learned so much from him, and I’m sure everyone on the RFD would say the same. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. George was a wonderful man.

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.

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.
