Bell-O’Dea Funeral Home
About
Bell-O’Dea Funeral Home has served Brookline and nearby communities since 1915, when it was founded by Robert H. Bell. Located in Brookline Village, across from the Brookline Public Library, it arranges funeral and memorial services tailored to each family, from immediate arrangements after a death to pre-planning for the future. Directors are available around the clock, and the staff has experience arranging services for families of many faiths and cultures.
Today the funeral home is owned and operated by the O’Dea family. John G. O’Dea, a fourth-generation licensed funeral director, was born and raised in Brookline, graduated from Brookline High School, and earned a diploma in mortuary science from the New England Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences. The family continues the home’s tradition of personalized care for families from Chestnut Hill, West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Back Bay, Brighton and beyond.
