Cremation

Harmony Grove has operated a crematory since 1917 and offers families the option to have a cremation take place here on its grounds, alongside burial options. Our certified and professionally trained staff provides cremation services with the utmost dignity, care, and compassion for your loved one.

To arrange a cremation at Harmony Grove, families must work with a licensed funeral director who will help with the necessary arrangements. For more information on cremation, please visit the CANA website.

Our staff is sensitive to the traditions of all faiths and preferences. Families may choose to schedule a short farewell service in advance of a cremation in the crematory. They can also gather and remember their loved one in the lovely Blake Chapel. If you want these additional services, please talk to your funeral director, and we will work directly with them.

While Harmony Grove works with all funeral directors, both in-state and out-of-state, the funeral homes that HGC is proud to partner with are: Bedford Funeral Home (Bedford, MA), Berube Funeral Home (Salem, MA), Conway Cahill-Brodeur Funeral Home (Peabody, MA), Gately Funeral Home (Melrose, MA), Levesque Funeral Home (Salem, MA), Robinson Funeral Home (Melrose, MA), and Solimine Funeral Home (Lynn, MA).

Information for Funeral Professionals:

Harmony Grove always welcomes new partnerships with funeral homes. Our fully licensed crematory adheres to strict compliance standards, including documented chain-of-custody procedures at every step of the process. Same-day cremation is available when scheduling allows, and we provide the secure, timely return of cremated remains to your funeral home, as needed.

When requested and coordinated in advance, witness cremation may be accommodated. Funeral homes may also arrange for families to gather in our chapel as a private space for reflection and remembrance.

Funeral professionals are invited to contact us at (978) 744-0554 to learn more about pricing, availability, and other practical details, and to explore how Harmony Grove can support your team as a trusted extension of your services.
