OUR MISSION 

In the late eighties, Brezniak Rodman recognized that families were increasingly selecting graveside and syngogue funerals. In the Boston area, 65% of all funerals were not held in the chapel. To meet this growing trend, Brezniak-Rodman set up services to support a familie's choice of alternative funeral arrangements, including graveside, temple, memorial service, cremation or home funeral service. 

As their business grew, Brezniak Rodman's reputation for providing high quality services became known. Increasingly, families came to Brezniak-Rodman with requests for full service funeral direction, including chapel services. 

Today, Brezniak-Rodman is able to provide a chapel service either in their chapel in Newton, which can accommodate up to 100 people, or an alternative chapel, which can seat between 300-500 people. 

Our owners/directors personally arrange each and every service to ensure that no detail is overlooked and every need is satisfied.

Located in West Newton, MA, our 1251 Washington street funeral home includes a chapel, an arrangement conference rooms, a casket selection area, and private parking.
