    I am so sorry for your loss. Death is never a welcomed event, but it is an event we do not look forward to but we all experience. I have been greatly encouraged and comforted by God’s words in the Bible. At John 5:28,29 Jesus promised that soon there will be a resurrection. In Revelation 21:3,4 God promise’s that soon there will be no more pain and death will be no more. Until that time comes, may your many memories bring you much comfort and may the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ grant you comfort in your time of need. Bill Conlon

    I send my love and prayers to all of you. I wish I could be with you at this time. There are many things I remember about my Uncle, but the most important thing for me to remember is I know how much he loved all of us. Rest in peace Uncle Larry, and know that you are loved.

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.
