emorial services offer an opportunity for friends and family to gather and share their grief, an important step in the healing process. Services can be performed at your church or synagogue or at either Downing & Lahey chapel at your request, and take place with or without the body present. Services can be tailored to your specific needs or beliefs. At Downing & Lahey, we believe a funeral service should be a unique tribute that celebrates the life of the deceased. So whether you choose a traditional ceremony or a unique service, you can count on Downing & Lahey to make your service especially meaningful.
