This family-owned business specializes in cards for funeral homes in the Boston area. Founded in 1993, owners Cindy Coe and her husband Charlie Poor keep the same hours as funeral directors in order to have prompt and timely service. Boston Prayer Card does not sell to the general public but works with funeral directors and can produce cards in many languages, such as Greek, Slovakian and Portuguese.
With locations in Quincy, North Quincy and Hingham, Keohane Funeral & Cremation Service aims to provide South Shore clients with a life-affirming experience at its funeral homes rather than a hopeless one. This family-owned business was founded in 1937 and is deeply involved in its communities, sponsoring local sports teams and maintaining membership with, among other groups, the Knights of Columbus and the South Shore Chamber of Commerce.
The first interment at Hingham Cemetery occurred in 1672. Over three centuries later, the burial ground is now governed by an ambitious board of volunteer directors seeking to preserve its historical identity and also provide beautifully landscaped lots for today's Hingham families. Many spaces are available for sale in the oldest sections as well as the newest area on Water Street. A memorial garden, featuring an array of beautiful flowers and trees atop one of the cemetery's highest points, provides burial spots for cremated remains. Well-paved roads and paths throughout the cemetery make it easy for leisurely walking among the old memorial stones.
