    I was a teacher in the Boston Public Schools and in September of 1976 I was assigned to the Mario Umana in East Boston as it was opening its doors for the first time. As I walked into the school for the first time,the first person to greet me with such a warm and welcoming smile was Lucy. She was so helpful, kind and personable not only to me but to any and all that walked into the main office and met her open entering it. I had the distinct pleasure of working with her for some seven years and even though I left the Umana in 1983 she is one of those people that you always remember for their kindness, graciousness and class. My sincerest condolences to Lucy’s family and friends on their loss. John Rooney Bradenton, Fl.

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.
