    Sorry to hear about Frank’s passing. I often think of him. And have wondered if he were still alive. I read the obituary in the Boston Globe and looked on this funeral home website to see if it was the same person I once knew from working at Stop and Shop. We worked together in the Peabody store 50 years ago. Frank shared his knowledge and training with me so that I could become a meat cutter, too. Now retired after 45 years with Stop and Shop myself, I am grateful for having known him and for the opportunity to work with him. Frank was a great guy that I will never forget. My condolences to his family….

    My most sincere condolences to the family. I know the grief you must feel may seem as though it may never truly leave you. But please know that God promises each and every one of us that if we draw close to Him then he will draw close to us – James 4:8. So feel free to approach God in prayer. He is always there to give us true and lasting comfort when we need it the very most. And if you would like to learn more about that promise please visit http://www.jw.org

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. 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.
