C.R. Lyons & Sons Funeral Directors

C.R. Lyons & Sons Funeral Directors Our goal is to make things easier for you by helping walk you through the process of loss. C.R. The planning team is there to make hard times a little easier.

We are a trusted, community-oriented funeral home with expertise in all types of funerals including pre-planning, burials, cremations, and celebrations of life. Lyons & Sons Funeral Directors has created a beautiful funeral home to welcome you and your family as you honor the life of your loved one. Whether you choose cremation, funeral services, or a life celebration, you will find everything you need at the funeral home. The licensed funeral directors pride themselves on professionalism, experience, empathy, and compassion. In addition, the funeral home is always up to date on industry developments. Lyons & Sons Funeral Directors is a full-service funeral home, making a series of services available over the course of a few days. You may begin with a viewing, where you can choose to leave the casket open. Then the funeral services can be held at the funeral home or your church. After that, the funeral party gathers for a graveside ceremony at the burial grounds. These services give friends and family time to share memories, offer condolences, and help each other through grief. Cremation services are available to be simple through direct cremations without a service. Or you can arrange a formal gathering in cremation with a memorial ceremony. Life celebrations are a modern way to honor the life of your loved one. You may throw a party to keep the mood light and uplifting. Choose an outdoor venue or a reception hall to share good food and good company. Lyons & Sons Funeral Directors takes pride in the community, offering services and workshops to Danvers, Topsfield, Middleton, Beverly, Peabody, Hamilton, Wenham, Ipswich, and Boxford. Permanent memorialization options can be found in cremation jewelry, urns, caskets, vaults, memorials, and keepsakes. In addition, you can comprise veteran services and military honors in each service offered. Lyons & Sons Funeral Directors can help you get started with pre-need funeral services for a death that is yet to occur. Even if you are perfectly healthy, you can make funeral arrangements in the same way you would set up a will to prepare for the unexpected. If you have an immediate need, the team can start arrangements on the same day. Visit 28 Elm St Danvers, MA 01923, to see the facilities. And call (978) 777-7900 if you have just found out about a death in your family.

The funeral profession is weighed down by assumptions. The truth is usually more practical, more human, and far less dramatic than people expect. We are honored to help families create services that feel personal and thoughtful.
