Services
The funeral home occupies a purpose-built facility at 129 Allen Street that has been significantly expanded since the Lopes family took ownership. The 2011 addition created the largest chapel in the New Bedford area, substantially increasing capacity over the original structure. The building features professional landscaping, striped awnings, and illuminated exterior signage. Handicap accessibility was added as part of the 2011 renovation, along with expanded parking to accommodate larger gatherings. The facility's grey-sided exterior and maintained grounds are visible from the street, with the entrance marked by an American flag.
Aubertine-Lopes offers flexible financial arrangements including prepayment plans that deposit funds into a trust until needed, with protection from inflation and price changes. Preplanned arrangements are transferable to any funeral home in the United States.
Aubertine-Lopes Funeral Home traces its origins to 1895, making it the oldest operating funeral home in the New Bedford area. The business has been under the ownership of the Lopes family since 1999, marking more than two decades of continuous family stewardship. In July 2011, the facility underwent an expansive addition that created the largest chapel in the area, added handicap accessibility, and expanded parking capacity. The 129 Allen Street location sits in a central city position, with the building featuring grey siding, striped awnings, and professional landscaping.
In 2023, Aubertine-Lopes acquired two additional funeral home businesses—Wilson Chapel and Cabral Baylies Square Lamoureux Funeral Home—consolidating their operations into the Allen Street facility. This expansion allowed the funeral home to continue serving families who had previously relied on those establishments while maintaining operations at a single, centrally located site. The facility maintains membership in the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) and the Massachusetts Funeral Directors Association (MFDA), and supports the 100 Club of Massachusetts.
