Services
The funeral home operates from a purpose-built facility in Springfield's South End that has expanded significantly from its original 1931 footprint. The property features a large chapel accommodating up to 160 guests, with full handicap accessibility throughout. Ample off-street parking eliminates the street-parking challenges common in urban funeral locations. The building's proximity to Interstate 91 provides regional access for families throughout Hampden County and beyond.
Tazzini's service philosophy centers on tailoring each arrangement to reflect the individual's life story, with directors guiding families through casket and urn selection, obituary preparation, and coordination with cemeteries and places of worship.
Tazzini Funeral Home & Cremation Services has occupied its 22 Locust Street location in Springfield's South End since 1931, when George B. and Rose E. Tazzini, Sr. founded the business to serve their community. The facility has expanded from its original footprint to include a large chapel with seating for 160 guests, ample off-street parking, and full handicap accessibility. The location sits convenient to Interstate 91, local lodging, places of worship, and cemeteries.
The family business structure has remained intact through multiple generations. George B. Tazzini, Jr. joined his parents in the operation, and in the 1990s, Christine M. Tazzini and Joseph F. Pasternak, III came aboard—maintaining independence while many Springfield-area funeral homes sold to national corporate entities. George B. Tazzini, III returned from Mystic, Connecticut in 2018 to join full-time. Today, Managing Directors George III and Joe Pasternak handle daily operations, continuing the founder's approach of personally serving each family.
The business emphasizes its distinction as a family-owned operation rather than a "family-named and out-of-state conglomerate owned" competitor. Staff are available 24/7/365, recognizing that funeral planning cannot always happen during regular business hours.
My recent experience with Tazzini was wonderful. The process for my fathers funeral was very smooth. George handled every aspect behind the scenes making sure everything we requested was provided while giving us time to mourn. Every time we had a question, he was readily availabl...

Addendum: Responded to my feedback within 7 days. Going to reconsider using this facility for my pet cremation needs.
They were extremely helpful to me after my mother passed away. Since I was from out of town and an only child, they knew exactly what to do and made my mother's services exceptional. My mother had additional ashes which required an additional burial. I would highly recommend thei...
