Joe Carrier and the team at Rossi Santucci were simply magnificent in handling my father's service, along with being of comfort to my family and me every step of the way. Joe was 'Johnny-on-the-spot' when it came to every last detail, walked us through each step and made sure we were comfortable. There are people who are anointed for the jobs they have, and Joe is certainly one of them. My family and I are grateful beyond words for how they helped honor and remember my father, and Joe's presence helped make the most incredible grief we've ever known just a bit easier to bear.

Rossi and Santucci Funeral Home did an amazing job with the funeral of my mother-in-law. Everything was beautiful, the viewing and services were exceptional. The Funeral Director Chelsey Santucci was caring, loving, organized and took care of everything which allowed the family to not worry about anything. We highly recommend them.

Google Reviewer

Rossi and Santucci was incredible at handling all my Mother's funeral arrangements. They made the process smooth and thought of everything so we didn't have to. The funeral home is beautiful and updated. Clean and open. Their pricing was the best in town. They were flexible, compassionate and I couldn't have asked for better people to help lay my Mother to rest. At the unfortunate event that I ever lose someone I love and care about again, we will absolutely use Rossi and Santucci.

Kristina and the staff at Higgins-Reardon Poland Chapel went above and beyond for our family. Kristina was very attentive, compassionate, and made a difficult time easy for us. Her attention to detail was on point. Thank you again!

Google Reviewer

The staff was very polite and extremely helpful throughout the process. The funeral for my grandmother was wonderful thanks to the entire staff at Higgins-Reardon.

Google Reviewer

At a very difficult time, Higgins Reardon was there for me after the passing of my mom. It was the same compassion and professionalism I experienced 25 years ago! This time I was fortunate enough to work with Emma. She was excellent at reading my state of mind and emotion and we planned the service in exactly the right spirit. She got me everything I had in my mind and in two days. I was not oversold or undersold. She listened with compassion and delivered a service that was 110% what we wanted. She coordinated cemetery arrangements and the perfect floral spray. She attended the final service with an associate and they were the best. Emma is 5 star and Higgins is lucky to have her. I was lucky to get her as my associate. In a time that was not easy, Emma took care of every detail. Thank you Emma and thank you again Higgins Reardon for absolute perfection. Rob Lonardo

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Mike, who helped us at the funeral home during an incredibly difficult time. From the moment we walked in, he made us feel welcomed and supported. He was kind, transparent throughout the entire process, and incredibly diligent. Mike always made himself available, no matter the time or day, to answer any questions or concerns we had. His words of comfort and genuine compassion truly made a difference for our family. Even though we met under sad circumstances, I feel fortunate to have crossed paths with him and to have done business with someone so caring and professional. Thank you, Mike, for everything you did for us.

Paul McCauley is a true professional and a fine example of how to help find peace during a very heartwrenching time.

Google Reviewer

I wish to thank Paul McCauley for his genuine concern, kindness and attention to detail during this time in our family's life. I especially appreciate his "no hard sale" concerning the pre funeral arrangement made by my cousin months prior to her death. Everything was exactly as she had planned, down to the casket spray of flowers. Thanks again Paul, you made this difficult time much easier than I had anticipated.

I cannot say enough about the compassionate care Schiavone Funeral home showed our family during our time of sorrow. We will never forget their kindness. Elaina was wonderful.

Google Reviewer

This is a very empathetic and compassionate funeral home. Our family has worked very well with them before. When it came to burying my 21 year old son, Elaina and her father were so helpful walking me through the process. This family is very accommodating to their clients culture and customs, traditions, spiritual practices and other needs. Their professionalism is superb. I highly recommend them. My sons funeral was so beautiful. I was blessed in working with them.
