Costello Funeral Home

Costello Funeral Home is a family-run funeral home in Winchester that has served local families since 1961. It offers traditional services in a church, at the funeral home or elsewhere, along with straightforward burial and cremation, and helps families create personalized services that reflect a loved one’s life. The staff see their role as an information resource and coordinator, explaining options patiently and helping families customize arrangements to fit their needs and budget.

Robert J. “Bob” Costello bought the former Moffett Funeral Home in 1961 and ran it for fifty years under the principle of affordable and dignified service to families of every faith, nationality and financial circumstance. Today owners and funeral directors Joseph and Lauren Costello personally answer inquiries. Joe is a lifelong Winchester resident, and both are active in town groups including the Winchester Rotary Club, St. Mary’s Church and the Board of Health.
