Keefe Funeral Home
About
Keefe Funeral Home in Arlington is the second location of a family-owned funeral firm that has served Greater Boston for more than three generations. It handles funeral planning and arrangements with personalized, compassionate care, and it stands out for offering low-impact, eco-friendly options as part of a long interest in sustainable deathcare. Families who want to care for a loved one themselves can arrange a home vigil, which allows more time to say goodbye.
The firm began in North Cambridge in 1951, when Charles D. Keefe Sr. opened its doors; his son Charles Jr. later took over, and brothers Tim and Chad Keefe, who grew up in the Cambridge funeral home, now lead the business. The Arlington home opened in 1993. The family believes in the grounding power of ritual, ceremony and community, and has added experienced staff to bring fresh energy to long-standing traditions.
