Community Connections
Here at CC Shepherd’s we strongly believe that what holds us together during trying times is our sense of community. Below are just some of the organizations in Weymouth and the surrounding area that we work with and support. We encourage you to check out some of these organizations, and consider getting involved just as we do!
South Shore Hospital
“CC Shepherd Funeral Home has provided their unwavering support and compassion in assisting South Shore Hospital with the often invisible, yet highly significant issue of burying unclaimed and indigent decedents. Their commitment to helping us ensure that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, receives a dignified and respectful farewell is truly commendable. Their assistance with these difficult situations exemplifies the highest standards of integrity and compassion in the funeral industry, and for that, we are extremely grateful.”
– Matthew A. Mazzuchelli, Decedent Affairs Coordinator, South Shore Health
CC Shepherds graciously donates to and supports The Makayla Fund’s annual golf outing each September to help support suicide prevention and raise awareness to the cause.
The mission of the Makayla Guerriero Memorial Fund is to prevent teen suicide in Makayla's memory through public awareness and education, reduce the stigma, and serve as a resource for those touched by suicide. We also want to help improve the life of local teens with our sports scholarship program by giving the necessary funds to play a sport if one cannot afford it.

Mini Golf for a Big Cause
The money that Shepherds Funeral home and the patrons of the Ninety-Nine raise each year is crucial to Dana Farber, this money is Unrestricted funds. What this means is it is not a grant that can only go to a specific form of research. If a lab or program is close to a discovery and in need of funds Dana Farber can just allocate this money directly to them with no wait and no restrictions. With the help of all our vendors and friends that have partnered with the Ninety-Nine we have raised over $6,000,000 dollars for Dana Farber Cancer research.
