Concord -
In its 73rd year, the Concord Funeral Home remains an “in-house” business.
Funeral Director Glenn D. Burlamachi and his team make the prayer cards, register books and sign boards for their services. They’ve made heating, electrical, structural and cosmetic improvements to the facility.
Not to mention Burlamachi, his wife Beth and children Kyle, 16, and Caroline, 12, live above the funeral home, on the corner of Thoreau and Belknap streets.
Web sites get more detailed

Concord - All over town, businesses, community groups and other organizations are sprucing up their Web sites, tinkering with e-mail newsletters and dabbling in new social media.
The Concord-Carlisle Community Chest and Communities for Restorative Justice have both launched revamped Web sites that makes it easier for people to navigate, donate and get information.
“We wanted something that was fresher and newer, said Stephanie Parish. “We wanted the Web site to be more current and reflect changes that are going on. The Community Chest has been around since 1947, but we’re always trying to keep things in a way that’s of interest to our donors — to keep the organization current.”

When Glenn Burlamachi vacations with his wife and two children, they take two cars. At dinner, he never has more than one glass of wine. ``Would you want me to take your loved one away with alcohol on my breath?" he asks. Burlamachi, a certified public accountant who will turn 40 next month, became the director and owner of MacRae-Tunnicliffe's Concord Funeral Home two years ago. After graduating from the FINE Mortuary College in Norwood, he gave up his electrical contracting business. ``We built huge gorgeous commercial structures, but it was a thankless job," he said. ``I can now bring someone through my front door at the lowest point in their life and help them."
