Report
I would highly recommend the Dee Funeral Home. My father-in-law passed away on August 18, 2017. Charlie at the Dee Funeral Home was very professional in working with my wife and her two siblings to make the celebration of Fred's life a comforting event. Every aspect of the Catholic wake was well planned; flowers, photos, slideshow, music, seating, water, tissues and consideration to the special needs of elderly visitors. Charlie assisted us with the picking out the proper urn for my father-in-laws remains that had the Boston College colors and was very elegant. He arranged for the Catholic

Report
My husband died unexpectedly in August of 2016. We are having his remains interred at Arlington National Cemetery on Friday March 3. The container I have now is too big so I was in need of a smaller container but wanted something nice. John Arena met me at the funeral home and took his time to help me find the right product. He also transferred the ashes for me which I know is something I would not be able to do. I can't thank him enough for taking the time to help me. Thanks again John!
