Rob, Al, and amazing staff
Thank you all so very much for the kindness and compassion all of you showed to me and my family during what was a very difficult time. From the very beginning when I first contacted Rob, all of you went above and beyond to ensure we received kind and thoughtful service, despite our several special requests. A very special thank you to Al for his professionalism and compassion and great sense of humor. It was such a pleasure exchanging stories with you, and I am grateful to have had you there with us to honor my Dad’s life. It was a beautiful service and a perfect goodbye. My God bless you all.

Dear Al,
I am writing you to extend on behalf of my family, our sincere appreciation for the entire process of how you and your staff handled the arrangements for the wake of our mother, Rita Ouellette. We could not have been more pleased with the entirety of the evening. The way that everything flowed so smoothly was a very comforting way for us as a family, to say goodbye to our mother, or in some cases our aunt, our sister, or just a well loved friend. Thank you, once again for your help.

A note of thanks to each and every one for a beautiful and moving “Memorial Service” to remember and honor the passing of our loved ones.
You did this with simplicity, elegance and love, making the service more intimate. Holidays, especially Christmas is a time of mixed emotions. For we are filled with the joy of the season and at the same time filled with a sadness for known or unknown reasons. Your Holiday Remembrance Service did ease the pain of that sadness and brought comfort for our loss. I shall remember this day.

Evelyn R.

Thank you so much for handling not only my dad’s arrangements, but my mom’s as well. You did such a great job. I would send lots of people to you if they ever needed a funeral home that rocks. Thanks a lot for being so kind and working with us so well

Cassy W.

I could not just fill out the questionnaire. I needed to let you know how
wonderful and caring your staff is and how you have more than satisfied the needs of my family with your services. Everything you have done for us was just outstanding. Your compassion, your time, understanding, artistry and more. There is just too much to mention.
