John Everett & Sons Funeral Home
Founder, John Everett
He Came To Natick in 1854 And A Tradition Was Born
Coming from Kilmacow, County Kilkenny, John Everett was the type of strong character that
Ireland sent to this country in the 1840’s. After humble beginnings as a shoemaker in Cambridge,
Medway and Millis, he finally settled in Natick in 1854. Here, with a small band of Catholics, under
the direction of Fr. John Walsh, he helped found St. Patrick’s Parish in 1856. John Everett became
sexton of the church and superintendent of the cemetery. In 1861, a growing need in the Natick
Community prompted Fr. Walsh to ask John to establish a funeral undertaking business, and so a
tradition of quiet, dignified and sympathetic understanding was born. Now, after four generations,
that tradition is still an integral part of our service.
