Since 1865 our family has been dedicated to serving the needs of families like yours. Pre-need planning allows you to ensure that your final arrangements reflect your own personal desires. At the same time prearrangements demonstrate the care and concern for your family and loved ones by relieving them of the burden of making arrangements in a time of sorrow and uncertainty.

If you would like to meet with one of our Directors to discuss your prearrangements, please call to schedule an appointment. We assure you that a meeting to discuss any of the services we provide is at no cost or obligation to you. Smith-Taylor-Ruggiero Funeral Home offers three types of funeral services: Traditional, Memorial and Cremation.
Services
Smith - Taylor - Ruggiero Funeral Home offers three kinds of funeral service: Traditional, Memorial and Cremation. The expressed wishes of the deceased as well as their kin determine what the best way to proceed with the funeral. Most often the body is the focal point of the funeral service, sometimes with an open casket, sometimes with a closed casket.
Much attention has been drawn to the "Green Movement" lately. People are concerned about the long term effects of the products they purchase, the vehicles they drive, and the amount of resources they are consuming. Although the "Green" initiative is a recent trend, both Iliff-Ruggiero Funeral Home since 1900, and Smith-Taylor-Ruggiero Funeral Home since 1865, have offered nature-friendly alternatives to the traditional funeral.
An important part of the funeral is to determine what vessel will contain the remains of the body. At Smith - Taylor - Ruggiero, we help with that process. We have a wide selection of caskets, vaults and urns. Our display room is laid out to give families the opportunity to see and touch our high quality merchandise.
Our funeral home provides a wide selection of monuments to meet the personalized needs of all families. Our gravestones, headstones and markers vaults have been carefully selected for their craftsmanship and for the variety of materials and choices they offer. We invite you to visit with our staff before selecting monuments.
Answering questions and making decisions in an At-Need Funeral Arrangement may very well be one of the most difficult tasks you will ever face. To help relieve the stress of these situations, we are pleased to offer Pre-need Funeral Arrangements. Essentially, Pre-need funeral arrangements, or "Pre-Arrangements, " are a way to plan ahead for yourself, or a loved one, before you are overwhelmed with the stress and grief of a passing.

Both of their locations (Newton and Dover) are very "Home Like", The employees are welcoming and comforting. They make you feel as if you are part of their own family...

Smith-Taylor-Ruggiero Funeral Home is a beautiful old Victorian style establishment with a comfortable chapel / viewing area, and quaint side parlor sitting rooms where I could greet family friends and actually have a conversation while reminiscing in view of a picture slide show the Ruggiero brothers put together for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to my friends.

I wouldn't bury or cremate anyone here if it was the last place on earth the guy is a joke everything about this place is a joke it's not worth any of your time or money.... If you trying to bury or create a loved one my advice to you is find a better place you will be very disappointed doing it here.
