Ernest P. Caggiano, the founder of Ernest P. Caggiano & Son, Inc. Funeral Home, first entered the funeral profession in 1918 after serving in the Army during the First World War, working for a Boston Funeral Service during the great influenza epidemic of 1918-1919.

Our spacious Lobby/Reception Area welcomes you into our home. Our careful attention is evident in our beautiful home, and we have designed it to provide you with a comfortable, dignified setting. Our Chapel is able to accommodate larger services, and it can be arranged to provide an intimate setting for smaller services.
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
