Cheetham Funeral Home

Cheetham Funeral Home, located at 1012 Newport Avenue in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, has been a pillar of the Blackstone Valley community since its establishment in 1914. For over a century, this family-owned funeral home has provided compassionate, professional care to families navigating the difficult process of saying goodbye. Operating in close partnership with the William W. Tripp Funeral Home—a trusted name since 1957—Cheetham Funeral Home combines deep local roots with a shared commitment to personalized service. The facility is conveniently situated just off Interstate 95, offering easy access for families from Pawtucket, across Providence County, and into neighboring Massachusetts communities.

Cheetham Funeral Home offers a comprehensive range of service options designed to honor each unique life. Families can choose from traditional funeral services, cremation, memorial ceremonies, graveside services, and personalized celebrations of life. Every arrangement is tailored to reflect the wishes and values of the deceased and their loved ones, whether that means a formal religious service, a simple cremation with a private gathering, or a meaningful tribute that highlights personal passions and memories. The dedicated staff handles all logistics, paperwork, and coordination with cemeteries, clergy, and vendors, allowing families to focus on what matters most.

The funeral home is fully wheelchair accessible, featuring an accessible entrance, parking lot, and seating areas. The William W. Tripp location boasts two chapels and multiple sitting areas, providing a comfortable and dignified environment for visitations and services. Cheetham Funeral Home also offers pre-planning services, enabling individuals to document their wishes, lock in current pricing for certain services, and relieve their families of decision-making during a time of grief. Immediate-need arrangements are handled with urgency and compassion, often the same day.

Beyond funeral services, Cheetham Mortuary Inc. (as it is also known) provides grief support resources, urn selection, military funeral services—including veteran burial flags—and basic cremation options. The staff’s priority is trust and care, ensuring that every family receives the support they need.
