The Richardson Family has been serving the families of Leominster and surrounding communities for six generations.
The Silas F. Richardson & Son Funeral Home was founded in 1942 by Silas F. Richardson. Silas had followed in the tradition of his family, serving the families of Leominster. His son, Charles "Charlie" P. Richardson joined the family firm in 1954. He worked alongside his father until Silas' death in 1974. In 1984 Charlie's son-in-law, Ernest L. Rooney, joined the firm and worked with him until Charlie's death in 2005. Ernest will continue the traditions of caring and personal attention that have always been associated with the Richardson family.
We at the Silas F. Richardson & Son Funeral Home are proud of our long standing commitment to the families of Leominster. The Richardson Family has been here for generations and will continue to care for your families' needs.
