History

For nearly 50 years, Waring-Sullivan Home of Memorial Tribute at Birchcrest has served the funeral needs of southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Located at the parkside crest of our countryside crossroad of Route 6 and Gardners Neck Road, the original building was attractively accented by several birch trees.

In 1971, Thomas J. Ashton and Sons united with the Waring family forming Waring-Ashton.

In 1997, after the tragic loss of the building from a fire, the funeral home was rebuilt. designed to take care of people of all religions and traditions. It is our promise to continue our longstanding tradition of compassionate care and personalized funeral service for years to come.
