About George F. Doherty & Sons Funeral Homes

George F. Doherty & Sons is an independently owned funeral home serving the Wellesley, MA area, offering families the continuity of a non-corporate provider. They offer full-service funeral arrangements, which typically includes both cremation and traditional burial options, with direct cremation starting at $1,295 and traditional burial starting at $2,035, both of which fall on the more affordable end for the greater Boston market. With only 10 Google reviews and a rating of 3.4 out of 5 stars, there is limited public feedback to draw from, and the below-average rating is worth noting as you weigh your options. Families are encouraged to visit in person or call directly to ask questions, as a small review sample can reflect a narrow range of experiences rather than a full picture of the home's care and service.

My family wanted to do an obituary for my Mother who passed away at 102. She was a Wellesley resident for 66 years. My parents donated their body to science, and years ago arranged through another entity to take care of it. They did not respond at all and never returned my phone calls. After not ha…
