“I could not recommend Oteri Funeral Home enough. Sean and his staff were outstanding throughout the entire process of dealing with my father's passing. From start to finish he treated my sisters and I with the upmost professionalism and courtesy. Sean is very kind and extremely helpful. He answered every question our family had with attention to all the small details. My family has had a few other funerals here as well and my entire family swears by this company with the upmost respect and honor. The funeral home is beautiful as well and all the staff are very respectful. I would recommend this funeral home to absolutely anyone!“

“Our family recently held services for my mom at Dyer-Lake Funeral Home, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience.

Tim, Sue, and Reverend Kelly were amazing. They helped us navigate one of the most difficult and confusing times of our lives with kindness, respect, dignity, and genuine empathy. From the first conversation through the service itself, they made everything simple and easy to understand, allowing us to focus on honoring my mom rather than worrying about logistics.

The service was beautiful and truly reflected who my mom was. I know she would have been very happy with how everything was handled.

We are incredibly grateful for the care, professionalism, and compassion shown to our family. I would highly recommend Dyer-Lake Funeral Home to anyone looking for a team that will treat your loved one and your family with the utmost respect.“

“My husband and I have only been in Milford for eight years, and we were unfamiliar with the funeral homes in the area. When my husband passed away in May, I had to scramble to find a place to handle the cremation. Buma-Sargeant Funeral Homes was mentioned by several friends and kept coming up in my research. I made the call, and it was definitely the right call.
Buma-Sargeant went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and taken care of. My husband was what is called a direct cremation. There is no funeral, memorial or viewing. The interaction with the funeral home is limited. But that never stood in the way of them helping me through a difficult process. I spoke with Jim Burma twice, once before they came for my husband – explaining step by step what to expect when they came to pick my husband up. And again, when a few details needed clarification. He was kind and caring. He never once rushed me or made me feel less of a client because we chose direct cremation. His staff was equally compassionate and professional.
When I went to pick up my husband’s ashes, I got there far later than I was supposed to and they appeared to be closed. However, I encountered Jim’s mother who actually lives in the house. I don’t know for sure, but I believe she is retired from the business. That did not stop her from taking the time to bring me my husband’s ashes. She also took time out of her own day to talk with me. We shared some of our mutual experiences with the loss of a beloved spouse. She told me about the things that helped her cope. She went above and beyond simple courtesy to a place of genuine compassion.
As a retired pastor, I have been on “the other side” of the process when a family loses someone they love. I knew what to expect, but that doesn’t change the impact when it is your loved one. My experience, over the years, with funeral homes has generally been positive. But at Buma-Sargeant, being the people who take care of our loved ones on the last day of their life is not a job. It is a calling. And Buma-Sargeant embraces their calling with a grace and compassion that makes the process less devastating. I thank each person at Buma-Sargeant who took good care of me, my husband and my family. Calling them was one of the best decisions I have ever made.“

“Handled like family
Did almost everything for us with calling and getting information for us
Also gave a list of what to do which was very small.
We recommend Holts for peace of mind.“

“My mother passed away last week. Ginley- Crowley did a phenomenal job arranging her wake and funeral. Jim and Kathy Ginley were attentive, sensitive, and always available to answer a question promptly. The entire staff were true professionals. I was really impressed with the whole process, it was practically seamless. At every step of the way the Ginley- Crowley team helped us honor our mom. Thank you.Steve O’ConnorHebron, CT“

“No words can describe how great this funeral home is. Actually, "5" stars just isn't enough to rate them. They deserve "100" stars. Dave went above and beyond to help our family, during this very difficult time. He went out of his way continuously when we had questions or concerns and kept us focused and calm, no matter what time of day. He took care of everything and was extremely reasonably priced. We are forever grateful. Thanks Dave!❤“

“Thank you for making a difficult few days much easier. Your help and guidance was greatly appreciated.“

“During one of the most difficult times for our family, Joe and the entire team at the funeral home showed us such compassion, professionalism, and care. From the very beginning, Joe guided us through every detail with patience, kindness, and genuine empathy.

He made an overwhelming process feel organized, peaceful, and meaningful, always treating our loved one with dignity and our family with so much respect. His calm presence and attention to detail truly made a difference during such an emotional time.

We are deeply grateful for the beautiful service and for the support we received every step of the way. Thank you, Joe, for helping us honor our loved one so beautifully. We will never forget your kindness.“
