ABOUT US

About Us

Welcome to C. C. Shepherd Funeral Home

C. C. Shepherd Funeral Home has been helping families across the South Shore community with their bereavement needs for over 115 years. Conveniently located in Columbian Square in Weymouth, our welcoming facility brings with it a rich history of honoring generations of families in a place where they and their friends can gather to pay their respects to lost loved ones.

After many decades of dedicated service, Doug Shepherd hired Garret McDonald in 2014 to help accommodate his growing business and to begin the transition towards his well-deserved retirement. Garret consequently purchased the business in 2019 and has not only maintained the commitment to customer service for which C. C Shepherd has been known but has also expanded the service offerings to meet the needs of a new generation of clientele. In addition, Garret and his staff are dedicated to their community and actively engage in a host of outreach and educational efforts. 

The experienced staff at C. C. Shepherd Funeral Home takes great pride in caring for our families and has made a commitment to provide you with a beautiful, lasting tribute to your loved one. Honoring your loved one is our top priority, and part of that is assisting you with compassionate closure during an often daunting and overwhelming time. Everyone’s needs are different, and C. C. Shepherd is attuned to understanding our customers’ expectations for each individual service. Our streamlined process allows us to handle much of the details so that you are relieved of the stresses that often come with planning a funeral. We understand that sharing this time with loved ones is critical and we are here to make that possible. In addition, C. C. Shepherd also provides a wide range of resources to support you not only today, but in the weeks and months to come.

Online Memorial

We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.

Tribute Video

We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or digital files of the video are also available.

Ordering Flowers

We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.

Sharing Service Details

We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or Twitter page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.

Daily Grief Steps Emails

We offer one year of free daily grief support emails to the families we serve. It is important to us that we continue to comfort our families through the difficult days that the first year of grieving can bring.


Over many years we have searched and compiled a team of professional and local workers who care about our reputation and the comfort of our patrons just as much as we do.
