Obituaries

The Acton Exchange is beginning to publish obituaries. At this time, we are not charging for their publication. The Acton Funeral Home sends us the obituaries that local families share with them, whether or not the family used Acton Funeral Home, and we are pleased to help communicate this information to the Acton community. We are currently developing editorial policies for obituaries. To see other obituaries, go to https://www.actonfuneralhome.com/obituary-listing.
