Police appreciation week isn’t just for the humans. We had Scituate PD’s own Comfort Dog K-9 Blue stop by today so we could give him lots of pets and some new toys. A very good boy.

Lunch for our Scituate first responders for Police appreciation week (we couldn’t let the fire fighters go hungry). Thank you Scituate Fire and Scituate Police.

Thanks for looking the other way when we go through red lights with a funeral procession!

Happy to help the future of our industry!

MFDA First Vice President Gary Toye of Stanetsky Memorial Chapel recently facilitated a Resume Writing and Interview Preparation Workshop at Cape Cod Community College, alongside his colleague Michael McCormack of Richardson-Gaffey Funeral Home. They covered essential topics such as how to prepare for an interview, how to present yourself professionally, and the types of questions candidates can expect from prospective funeral home employers.

Today we had the pleasure of treating the staff of Wampatuck Elementary School Early Childhood Center to lunch in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you all for everything you do. You guys rock!!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day (kind of)! As a proud sponsor of the Scituate St. Patrick’s Day parade, we always like to extend an invitation to come park at Richardson-Gaffey Funeral Home so you can walk up to the commons to view the parade.

We only ask one thing: Please don’t park on the grass. You might say to yourself “no parking spaces….oh look some perfectly manicured green grass…let’s park there”. Don’t.

Our landscapers put a lot of love and hard work into making the grounds look perfect (like our funeral directors) through the year and they get very sad when they see tire marks ruining their hard work. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a landscaper cry, it’s very loud because they have the backpack leaf blower on. Have fun and be safe!

Thank you to St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Scituate for inviting us to give a presentation on the importance of pre-planning you or your loved one’s funeral. We had a very informative and lighthearted Q&A session after the presentation. How often do you get to have two funeral directors in a room that you can ask any funeral related question you’ve ever had.

If you ever have any questions about pre-planning (or if you want to ask a funeral director a question you’ve always wanted to the answer to or any thing related to the bruins or three stooges) we would be happy to talk.

March 11 is Funeral Director Appreciation Day, and we would like to say thank you to every family that we have served for putting your trust in us to help during the most difficult time of your life.

To thank our staff here, we coordinated a photo shoot with inspiration from those 90’s style Sears photo shoots that many of you include in your memorial slide shows. These are 100% authentic, no AI (AI cannot capture the genuine tension and awkwardness) and all of us wearing turtle necks was a complete coincidence 😉. If you know a funeral professional, don’t forget to say thank you!
