Dolan Funeral Home

Dolan Funeral Home is a funeral service provider with two locations: one in East Milton Square serving Milton, Quincy, Braintree and other South Shore communities, and one in Dorchester Lower Mills serving Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan and nearby neighborhoods. Both buildings have been extensively renovated, the Dorchester location in 2014 and East Milton in 2016, and offer open, comfortable gathering rooms. Families can arrange traditional burials, cremation with or without a service, and green burials.

The funeral directors help families plan personalized ceremonies, from a visitation followed by a funeral at the funeral home or a church to a memorial service with the urn and photographs as a focal point. Veterans’ families are a particular specialty: staff help confirm eligibility for military honors, apply for burial benefits, flags and headstones, and work with VA national cemeteries, including Arlington. For green burial, the team plans around Massachusetts cemeteries that permit it, since many do not.

What to Know

• Both locations are handicap accessible and have ample parking.
• The East Milton location is just off Interstate 93.
• Flowers can be ordered through a community partner.
• Massachusetts law does not require a grave liner or vault, which makes green burial possible where cemeteries allow it.
