    So very sorry to hear of Vinny’s passing. Though I haven’t seen him for some time, I will always remember him with a smile. He was a great person; kind, caring, and one of best dancers I have ever had the pleasure of dancing with. Rest in peace, Vinny.

    We are sorry to hear of Vinny’s passing. Although we never met him, just from your words we feel a connection. He seemed full of life. Although it’s never easy to lose anyone, a parent is especially difficult. Please know we’re sending Trevino hugs, thoughts and prayers to you all at this time.

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.

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.
