In 1920, John C. Burns bought a storefront on Norfolk Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Traditionally, funerals were held in the home and undertakers occupied small offices to meet families and show a small selection of caskets. As the demands of funeral service providers changed, a new trend of using a funeral home to have both the wake and funeral became more common to better serve the needs of families during a difficult time.
At our funeral home, we understand the importance of family. We believe in treating your family as we would our own. To do that, it's best you know a little about us first - please explore this section so that you may learn about our caring staff, our beautiful facilities, and our history of service.
A loved one's passing often leaves us feeling adrift. While most elect to hold some type of memorial service, the breadth of options available can be overwhelming. We want to make it easier. We are here to help you create a service that befits the life of your loved one. This section contains useful information about funeral options, what to do when death occurs, information on writing an obituary, and recommended funeral etiquette.
Taking the time to arrange your funeral now leaves one less thing your loved ones will need to worry about once you've passed. We are here to help you every step of the way. This section contains useful information about the benefits of pre-planning your funeral, pre-payment options, and our online pre-arrangement form.
Preplanning your own, or a loved one's, funeral prior to death allows you to express your own wishes. Preplanning relieves your family of making stressful decisions at a difficult time. Preplanning does not require prepayment, however, a prepayment option is available. The Burns Funeral Home is here to assist you with your funeral preplanning.
