Maceroni Funeral Home was founded by Bernardo Maceroni on Federal Hill in Providence in 1927. From a meager store front location on Atwells Avenue, Bernardo's son Anthony moved the funeral home to North Providence in 1956. It was one of the first facilities constructed specifically as a funeral home in Rhode Island.
When it comes time to care for a deceased loved one, you may feel overwhelmed and confused about the next steps and options. Our funeral home staff members are here and ready to help. Whether you'd like a funeral or a more creative celebration of life, we can assist you to select the funeral service options that hold the most meaning for you and your family.
Obituaries act as quiet reminders of the finite nature of our lives. Yet, for those who have recently experienced the death of a family member or friend, an obituary means so much more. It is a bittersweet reminder of all we've lost, but it can also help us to remember all we enjoyed while they were alive.
G. K. Chesterton wrote, Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die. The men and women who served in the armed forces, whether during a time of war, or one of peace, are living examples of that contradiction. Each should be honored and remembered, so that our gratitude never fades.
All we need to do is say the word "funeral" and within microseconds, you have an image in your mind of what a funeral looks like. This mental image comes from many sources: the geographical place, culture and society in which we live; our faith; our life experience.
Obviously then, a funeral service in Borneo would look very different from one held in Tanzania; there are even significant differences between the funerals held in ethnically and/or geographically diverse regions of North America.Yet, despite the differences, these funeral services have much in common.

My mom passed 12/11/21 and Maceroni Funeral Home was our only choice.
Maceroni Funeral Home has assisted my family with past arrangements and once again
went above and beyond to assist us. Brad Presnol is the manager and want to give our personal thanks to Brad for showing guidance and compassion in our time of need. Brad once again walked us through all our needs for a special loved one & that was our mom. Brad asked questions & dates & the history of her life not only for the wake & funeral but because of his caring ways. He wanted to know & share our sorrow. At such a difficult time you need

I recently traveled from Seattle to Pawtucket to bury my father's ashes at St. Francis Cemetery. Anthony and the other employees at Maceroni Funeral Home made my father's gravesite service flawless! They helped both my aunt in Providence and I with arranging for Veteran's Honors for my father. The bagpiper was playing as we drove up to the family plot. There wasn't a dry eye at the service! Everything was perfect! I highly recommend Maceroni Funeral Home and Cremation Services!

My family and I highly recommend Maceroni Funeral Home. We have been treated like family. They are so supportive, kind, friendly. They took such good care of us when our mother passed away. And, of course, such good care of our mother. Always right there to answer our questions. And so patient with us because we had so many questions. We only have great things to say about Maceroni Funeral Home.

This was not our first experience with Maceroni's and once again, we were not disappointed. No matter what kind of arrangements we requested, they were able to accommodate us with no problem. Most of my conversations were with Brad, and he could not have been more patient or helpful, plus he made himself available according to our needs. Whatever I neglected to think of, he remembered; there was not one base that was not covered. It was a very difficult time for our family, and their kindness and compassion made us feel very comfortable and secure. As much as we hope that we do not need the services

Topnotch from beginning to end. Brad was excellent in outlining and explaining with patience and compassion all the steps necessary to make our sad time memorable and proud. On the day of the burial, Brad and all members of the staff at the cemetery were friendly, sympathetic, efficient and understanding. We have nothing but high praise to a great team with stellar customer service! Thank you!

Everyone at Maceroni worked carefully to build a situation and experience that was calm, seamless, and very warm - all during a time that was at once overwhelming, incredibly busy, surreal, and deeply sad. Our mother Joy was well taken care of. Her family and friends were well taken care of. Every single detail was attended to and Maceroni went out of their way to ensure all elements exceeded our expectations. Maceroni allowed us all sorts of ways to try and personalize the services, which we very much appreciated. Sending a huge thanks to Anthony and his team.

Maceroni Funeral Home is a family owned and operated business. My family and I recently had to plan my husbands funeral. This was something I had absolutely no experience with and was dreading the entire process. I selected Maceroni because they were conveniently located. As soon as I was greeted at the door by Anthony I knew I had made the right… selection. Our entire family’s needs were met with such kindness, compassion, support & respect from the entire Maceroni family. Anthony was always available for any questions and concerns. All of our family, friends & coworkers were

My grandmother’s life was celebrated this week at Maceroni & Sons, and the Prete family & I had nothing but the best experience. Each encounter was lovely, positive and warm for such a naturally sad experience. Brad was our Funeral Director and went above and beyond to show kindness and honor to our beloved. He even delivered flowers back to our home to help us after the service! I would recommend any family in the Rhode Island area to look to Maceroni & Sons for funeral arrangements. Thank you so much.
