“Brian & his crew’s commitment to kindness, transparency, and the health of our planet are a great gift to our community. He will tell you, immediately and without hesitation, the exact financial costs, and also the costs to our planet, of every choice available. He was deeply kind to me as I handled details when my friend Nellie wound up suddenly on hospice. He made sure I got all the necessary paperwork signed before she was too close to death to sign them. I had no idea those forms would be needed! He’s empathetic without a hint of manipulation anywhere. Patient and generous, direct, knowledgeable. He walked me through all the details of terramation (human composting) that Nellie had requested, and explained exactly why he works with the terramation facility he’s chosen - once again: no taking advantage of survivors, transparency and compassion. Brian offered his facility for our friend’s Laying In, and gave us all the latitude, support and guidance we needed to create a gathering that fitted us perfectly. In the middle of that, Nellie’s mother suddenly realized she wished she had a sign in book for attendees and asked me if I could find a piece of paper for it. Brian overheard and was there in moments with a simple book & pen for her. He has stayed in touch, making his weekly bereavement support available to any of us at no charge, on a drop in basis as needed, with no strings attached. Brian has been at the forefront of green burial in our community for decades. I knew I could turn to him again. He handled my father’s death in 2012, and green burials for several friends in the years since. We’re so lucky to have him here.”
“Over the years, Rob and Westford Funeral Home has helped my family through some hard moments — caring for four of my grandparents and my stepfather. Each time, they have shown an amazing level of professionalism, compassion, and respect that made a difficult process a little easier.
They took the time to listen, answered every question, and made sure our wishes were carried out exactly as intended. Their attention to detail and kindness toward my family have meant more than words can express.
I’m deeply grateful for everything they’ve done for my family.”

“I am so glad we worked with Gillies Funeral Home after my Dad's passing. Other family members recommended Gillies and I understand why. They are knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. I was impressed with their prompt communication and empathy. The Gillies team took care of my family in a time of need and I highly recommend them.”
“Moles has been a blessing in providing everything we needed in helping us get through the hardest time of our loved one, final steps. I appreciate all the support and compassion. Thank you”
