    We are truly blessed to have had Gregory be a part of our lives, he was most caring, compassionate, the kind of man that would give you the shirt off his back. No matter how much time went by from seeing him he always had that smile and a hug that made you feel specilal.
    He will always hold a special place in our hearts and I will never eat another Italian meal without thinking of him, he lived an amazing life here on earth but his journey is not over he will forever live on as we hold his memories close. We love you forever and always. Marilyn, phil, courtney, greg, nevaeh, and aj! Fly high our angel

    Donna, I am so, so sorry. I wish I could be there, but I am still in rehab for my leg. I have to stay here until I get fitted for my new leg. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. They say God only takes the best.

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.
