Brown-Flaherty Funeral Home is located along Route 93, Exit 28 Somerville Charlestown, for those arriving from the South. It serves mostly residents of Somerville and Prospect Hill, but also the wider community of north-east Cambridge. The funeral home is directly opposite St. Joseph Church and uses two cemeteries within a 5 to 8 mile radius.
The historic 2-story funeral home is easily recognizable, as it boasts distinct white weatherboarding on top and red brick below and occupies a picturesque setting among other 19th century houses. Facilities include a spacious visitation room and reception lounge suitable for private family gatherings, funeral receptions or wakes.
Established in 1879, the family-operated and owned business has provided compassionate, professional and meaningful funerals to the local community that include traditional and contemporary funeral service as well as pre-planning services.
Since 1971 the funeral home has been operated by the latest generation of the Brown-Flaherty family: funeral director Michael O'Connor, who carries out bespoke burials, cremation and direct cremation, as well as burial with full military honors, as part of the funeral home's overall services.
