Funeral Services & Cemeteries near Lawrence

“I can only rate the first call, where the removal team took my sister-in-law from the residence. If you're reading this, there is something you likely need to know. I observed and then I looked into this. Lots of people, when they think of funeral homes, think of tidy, neat rooms, staff all dressed up and a decor that makes you feel like you're checking into a high-class hotel in 1880. That's the final product. First call is the raw material, a chore, and not one to wear your best clothes. The staff, dressed presentably in semi-formal clothes, were absolutely professional, mind you. They had to close the bedroom door because the work of transfering the body onto the transport cot isn't pretty. Then you see your family member in the form of lumpy contours under a wrapper, such as a blanket. Geometry requires raising one end of the transport cot and twisting to get around corners in tight spaces. Be ready for the heartbreaking moment shortly after their departure, because the person is gone. Ceremonies come later.“

“During one of the most difficult times in our lives, the team at Driscoll Funeral Home guided our family with incredible grace, professionalism, compassion, and care. From our very first meeting, they made an overwhelming process feel much more manageable, and for that we will always be deeply grateful.

Patrick was exceptional throughout the entire process. He patiently explained every step, answered every question, and handled every detail with genuine care. Thanks to his knowledge, my Dad received the honors he earned as a TSA officer, including his final salute and honor guard—something I never would have known was possible without Patrick's guidance.

Another moment our family will never forget happened on the day of the funeral. After arriving at the church, I realized how meaningful it would be for the procession to pass by my grandmother's home as one final tribute to my Dad. Despite heavy snowfall and road closures, Patrick and his team took the time during the Mass to map out a route so that wish could become a reality. That level of attention to detail is what you can expect from Patrick and his entire team. Their care and service meant more to our family than words can express.

I also want to thank Phil, whose kindness and attention to detail never went unnoticed. He helped us with the music selections, offered thoughtful suggestions when it was difficult to make decisions, and made sure every request was carried out with care. His compassion helped make the service feel deeply personal and a true reflection of my Dad.

To the entire team at Driscoll Funeral Home, thank you for helping us honor my Dad's life with such dignity, respect, and compassion. You didn't just provide a service—you helped our family create a beautiful farewell and lasting memories that we will always cherish. We are forever grateful.

With our deepest gratitude,
The Rodriguez Family“
