Welcome to J.S. Waterman and Sons-Waring

J.S. Waterman and Sons-Waring* has been a pioneer in the funeral service profession in the United States, serving the people of Greater Boston and New England for over a century. Joseph S. Waterman founded his firm in 1832. In 1870 and 1876 his sons, George H. and Frank S. Waterman, joined the firm, making it “Joseph S. Waterman & Sons.” The Waterman “W” became well-known and later became a registered licensed trademark in the U.S. Patent Office.

Upon the death of Joseph S. Waterman in 1893, his sons continued as partners in the firm. They were active when the firm was incorporated at the turn of the century and is now one of the oldest corporations in our country. They also led the way in raising standards of the profession as they kept their facilities the finest in the Boston area. Additionally, the Waterman firm made the area’s first cremation arrangement in the late 19th century.

In 1921, a new building was acquired and a formal colonial chapel – a first for the New England area, and one of the first funeral chapels in the country, was added. The new chapel was the prototype for other funeral service providers and set a trend for families to use a funeral chapel instead of their own home. Continual remodeling has kept the establishment modern and up-to-date for over 80 years.

To accommodate the expansion of Boston suburbs, new branches were opened in nearby towns. In September 1990, the Waring family, a fifth-generation heritage family within funeral service, joined with the Waterman family.

Today, we are proud to be part of the Dignity Memorial^® national network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers. We are committed to exceeding expectations and delivering a standard of service that is 100 percent guaranteed.
