In 1932, The Frederick Cafasso Funeral Home was established and founded by Frederick Cafasso, in Everett, Massachusetts. In the 1940's, he decided to open a second funeral home in Wakefield. This facility remained opened until the late 1950's. His vision was to create a well known family business. Mr. Cafasso devoted all of his time to serving the community and making the business a success.
For over 85 years the Cafasso Funeral Home has been a landmark for its meticulous landscaping and picturesque setting. We have recently remodeled and expanded our facility with the addition of a new, state-of-the-art, spacious viewing room. Also, we have developed a parking lot adjacent to our facility offering our families and their visitors personal parking attendants.
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn. Mourning is the open expression of your thoughts and feelings regarding the death and the person who died. It is an essential part of healing. The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.

Not the easiest people to work with. Will tell you they will mail out the item you requested and then I guess change their mind and never call back. Then when dare you inquire, they treat you like you are a criminal for requesting said paperwork. Simple communication is key but what do they care after they got the money they needed from you.

Do not use this funeral home. Freddy is the most dishonest person I’ve met in this industry. He lied about my sending out a death certificate and I never ever received it. Arranged the cheapest flowers I’ve ever seen. Steer clear. In addition, he actually gossiped about me at my MOMS funeral. What kind of funeral director does this???

Thank you to Fred Cafasso and his family for the love and respect they show to our mother during the celebration of her 97 years raising a loving family. They made the stress of this day go away and filled it with love and compassion. They provided a beuatiful service and we are all truly grateful.

We recently experienced the loss of our unborn grandchild. The Cafasso family went out of their way to get us the baby's remains and were generous, respectful and sympathetic throughout the ordeal.
We have also used this funeral home for several family members and they were professional and sympathetic throughout.

2 hours after my husband passed I called Cafasso to inquire about funeral arrangements. My husband passed suddenly without life insurance and I inquired about low cost funeral arrangements. This man literally laughed at me. Laughed out loud!! He informed me that if one goes to the grocery store they are expected to pay for the food. I did not ask him for anything for free; I just inquired about his services. I then asked about death certificates. He again laughed out loud and told me that everything has a price and nothing is free. I never asked for anything free. My husband just passed

Only getting 1 star because you have to! Talk about unprofessional. We held our grandmothers funeral here. The staffs behavior was beyond absurd. In the middle of the wake,while the receiving line was underway, they pulled us to get a final payment. Family members not familiar with the area called about parking and where given major attitude over the phone, done right degrading. The next day while saying our last good byes, once again we where pulled and told since the life insurance hadn't come over they would not proceed without payment. THEN after going to back to finish our last good
