On July 3, 2019 my wife passed away at a Boston hospital. As emotional and distraught as I was, I knew who to call but did not know what to do. I called Perry Funeral Home in New Bedford and I was told Tom Perry would call me back, as well he did. Perry Funeral Home has been handling my family affairs since the mid 1960's. Tom informed me he would take care and handle everything. From the calling hours at the funeral home to the church service. There were friends at the church that were very nervous as what to do during a mass in a catholic church. Tom made everyone feel comfortable in announcing

Wanted to thank the staff at Perry’s for their professionalism and top notch service during a very difficult time in my life. My family has used this funeral home before, but this time around I had the most involvement with the staff. Tom and Joseyln were helpful and met every single one of my requests. They made sure to explain the process in great detail and even at the cemetery took time to answer my questions. Jack and the other gentleman who worked the day of my grandma’s viewing were great. They were so patient and even worked late for a family member who arrived late/out of town. Thanks
