    Donna, Joey and family,

    Praying that you are receiving some comfort and peace by Our Lord, during this time of grief. Auntie Rose is much loved and I had the pleasure of speaking with her on the phone several times during the pandemic. I always enjoyed being connected with her on Facebook and seeing your beautiful and loving family.
    She will be dearly missed but her love shines on through you all.

    Blessings,
    Jimmy & Janice (Pierce) Hunnings

    Donna, Joey and family.
    I was honored to have your mother as the best friend I EVER had. I will miss her so much but I know she is in the arms of our Savior.
    It was a blessing and a privilege to have been a part of her life and of your family’s acceptance.
    God sent me a special friend and now she is my special Angel
    Thank youu for my Rose which I shall preserve in my Bible.

    Donna, Joey & family…..we are so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was the best neighbor & “back fence” friend. She was always so happy to see us, I have many warm memories of hanging in her kitchen, delicious food cooking and her laugher & joy. We later loved seeing her in photos in the Revere Journal enjoying her senior years. We are so sorry for all of you…way too soon . Sending our prayers, hugs, & love.

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.
