    Arthur, Barbara, Denise, Carla, Lauren and family,

    Our deepest thoughts, love, prayers and sympathy are sent to you today. Our hearts ache to not be able to share this difficult time with all of you, and hopefully this Virus will leave us alone soon. Please know, although we can’t be there physically, we are there spiritually. Your mom was also so kind, and we remember her fondly for her beautiful smile, and sweetness. May she be at peace, and may you find peace in knowing she is now “home” with your dad and grandfather. She lives on in your hearts, and is now wherever you go. Love you,
    Gail and John (Bunny) S.

Send your condolences.

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.

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.
