Ruggiero Family Memorial Home Cuts Ribbon on Second Location

The Ruggiero Family Memorial Home, which was established in East Boston at the former Mazzarella Funeral Home in Orient Heights Square in 1999, officially opened its second location in Peabody during a ribbon cutting ceremony last Friday.

The official opening of the Ruggiero Family’s second location at 10 Chestnut St., Peabody included numerous special guests including Peabody Mayor Edward Bettencourt, Jr. members of the Peabody City Council and Chamber of Commerce as well as friends, family, fellow Peabody business owners and residents.

The Ruggiero Family joins Peabody Mayor Edward Bettencourt, Jr. members of the Peabody City Council and Chamber of Commerce as well as friends, family, fellow Peabody business owners and residents to cut the ribbon on the Ruggiero Family North Shore Chapel.

“The amount of people that showed up and supported our family was incredible, from the Mayor to elected officials to neighbors to other business owners. It was really a wonderful day,” said Funeral Director and Founder Joseph Ruggiero II. “The Peabody Chamber of Commerce did an outstanding job. It made the weight of two years and all we went through during COVID, during construction and during the permitting process worth it to see all those people supporting us.”

Ruggiero Family Memorial Home North Shore Chapel has taken over a building that once housed law and professional offices. The Ruggiero Family rehabbed the entire structure into a modern, state-of-the-art funeral home.

Ruggiero’s flagship funeral home in Orient Heights Square will remain in service as one of two family-owned independent funeral homes in East Boston. Up in Peabody, the North Shore Chapel will become the only other independent family-owned funeral home in the City of Peabody. The other being the Conway Cahill-Brodeur Funeral Home & Cremation Care.

The new funeral home is accepting pre-planning services, online pre-planning services as well as converting already established pre-planned services that may have been made with another funeral home. Ruggiero said the funeral home will also work with families that may want to move pre-planned arrangements from East Boston to Peabody.

The Ruggiero Family has a long and respected history in providing nothing less than the very best, regardless of their clients’ budget or needs.
