We used Faggas when my father-in-law died in 2004. They disinterred my 
mother-in-law and moved them both to the family plot in Queens, NY. They were 
great to deal with!

Subject: Re: [LincolnTalk] INF: funeral home recommendations

Did any offers” green” burials or cremation?
And can we did tree pod burials in MA…or just be put in the ground, as is?
Serious questions, looking for serious answers….

thanks to the people who responded to my question.
11 people submitted recommendations.

out of those,
6 recommended dee funeral home in concord.
john there told me that the average cost for a funeral these days is around 
$10,000.  the cost for basic cremation transportation from the place of death 
to their funeral home and then to a crematory (with no visitation or service at 
the funeral home) is $5425.

one person liked brown + hickey funeral home in belmont,
their price for the same service is $3560

one person recommended casper's in south boston -
they proudly advertise their $1395 price for the inclusive cremation service 
and they do a high-volume business;
they even have their own casper cremation app!
i read lots of 5-star reviews of their services, but also saw a 2017 WCVB and 
State investigation into them using a non-licensed garage for holding bodies... 
(they were fined and don't do that any more. still....)

1 person suggested tunnecliffe funeral home in concord/now called concord 
funeral home. i called a couple of times but couldn't get a call back from the 
director and gave up.

two people recommended faggas funeral home in watertown,
their complete cremation package is $2305.

i got my answer and now know how to pre-plan.
thanks!
