This week’s idea is all about low-cost creativity. Free printable coloring pages, simple clay, or even using a child’s watercolor set tucked away at home. Sometimes the simplest tools bring the most joy. Creativity doesn’t require talent or expensive supplies... just curiosity.

Our Story

Forastiere Family Funeral Home & Cremation Service Cares for the Greater Springfield communities. Since 1905 our family has been honored to help families during one of the most difficult times in their lives. It is important to us that we provide a comforting setting to help create a meaningful fitting tribute to honor your loved one. Some families prefer a grateful gathering to share their appreciation and celebrate their loved one’s life lived, while others prefer a private ceremony; all encompassing burial, cremation, or entombment preferences that may be simple or direct cremation or burials services. Whatever your preference we have the caring staff, the facility, and the options to meet each family’s needs.

Some people find it helpful to document their wishes or the wishes of their loved one in advance, prior to death, through planning those arrangements ahead of time. We can assist with explaining the variety pre-planning options, providing you and your family with the information, peace of mind, and time to consider all the choices and benefits. Please rely on us to provide continued care and assistance before, during and after your loss. Our caring team will guide you and your family to make healing decisions, being sensitive to your budget, in the way you would like to remember, show appreciation and pay tribute. Our Grief Specialist, Joanne Sullivan, is available to support you after your loss through our remembrance programs and bereavement support groups. Our caring staff at Forastiere Family Funeral & Cremation will provide the guidance and support when you need them most. We are available at our four convenient locations 24/7 in Springfield, East Longmeadow, Agawam, and Southwick, and the surrounding communites - we have been honored to serve Western Massachusetts since 1905.
