History

The McNamara-Sparrell Funeral Homes have been family-owned for over two centuries. Sparrell Funeral Homes began serving South Shore families in 1820, and in 1934 Bernard S. McNamara established the McNamara Funeral Homes in Brighton.


In 1983, Bernie's son Bob McNamara and his family purchased Sparrell Funeral Homes in Cohasset and Norwell, blending two long-standing traditions of a family serving families.


Today, both funeral home locations are attentively managed by Brendan M. McNamara.
