Milestone Funeral Partners would like to warmly welcome Sara Collins, Funeral Director of Advance Planning in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.


Sara was born and raised in North Smithfield, Rhode Island, where she graduated from high school in 2001.

Licensed as a funeral director in Massachusetts, Sara is a 2006 graduate of Mount Ida College. Sara began her career as a Managing Director in the Boston area and more recently in Scituate, MA, for the past decade. She is an expert in Jewish funeral customs and has planned and conducted hundreds of funerals of all faiths in the greater Boston area. She recently joined the team at Dyer-Lake Funeral Home, located in North Attleboro, MA. She is passionate about integrating the funeral home organically into the community and in recent years has focused her efforts solely on community education and advance planning.


Sara lives in Scituate, MA with her husband Jimmy, their 3 children, and 2 dogs. She loves a good crossword puzzle and anything with a flamingo on it. She’s an avid reader and enjoys being near the ocean, taking trips to Disney and New Hampshire with her family and attempting to knit. She’s played piano since she was 7 years old and loves to play in her spare time.
