“I don’t want or have to share with you the pain of losing a loved one. Whether they’re young or old. The disbelief and confusion that you’ve going through is mind boggling. I don’t know what we would have done with the wonderful care, support, compassion and professionalism of Keohane’s Funeral Home. (and loving friends) Their entire staff is outstanding and more helpful and they truly will stand by you as long as need them. In such a difficult time, I can’t stress enough that Keohane is the place to put your trust in for your loved one and your Family. They will also work with you to plan ahead so your loved ones know your wishes. I truly recommend contacting Keohane’s. Tell Margaux I sent you. (Had to add a laugh/too tired of crying :)
God Bless. 🌿🌸🌿“

I’m so grateful he made a stressful and sorrowful time easy for me and my family.“

“Stanetsky Memorial Chapel is one of the most beautifully run organizations I have ever encountered. After the passing of my mother, I was provided with an enormous amount of support. Stanetsky Memorial Chapel left out no detail. Linda Hirschberg at Stanetsky’s addressed every conceivable issue and made sure all arrangements were perfect. Everything turned out just the way I wanted. I was guided every step of the way with impeccable professionalism.“

“Frank Joyce and his team at Joyce Funeral Home took tremendous care of my elderly mother in making and handling arrangements on my father's sudden passing - starting on the Sunday my father passed away, with Frank returning my call that very day. He met with my mother, myself, and another sibling for over 4 hours the next day to obtain the information needed and help my mother decide on her preferences. To be clear, not that much time was needed - but Frank listened attentively and caringly to our various stories and shared some of his own. From our meeting, Frank obtained enough information to put together a lovely draft obituary, which we then augmented. He patiently provided advice and guidance regarding the services to be held and the practicalities. Frank made everything easy - he provided a google drive link for us to upload photos, which his team turned into a video slideshow and digital banner for the wake, collage poster boards for the wake, pages in the guest book, etc. - however, he also offered to scan hard copy photos (even in frames) if that was all we had. They handled everything - even ordering the thank you notes - and it was all lovely - and were thoughtful of my mother's and the family wishes and added comforting touches (for example, arranging for the donation of particularly large flower displays post-service). When the date we selected for the funeral service conflicted with a mass that all (active) priests in the parish were required to attend, Frank reached out to a retired priest he knows to handle the service. I cannot say enough good things about Frank and Joyce Funeral Home.“

“Dan was so supportive during the losses of both our Mom and Dad, 14 months apart. He is a consummate professional in navigating families through the unfamiliar process of planning a funeral and he was also attentive to all the details.“

“The staff at Peck Funeral Home were all compassionate and helpful during a difficult time when we were unfamiliar with the process. They helped us at each step of a sad time and I would recommend them to anyone who is unfortunately in a similar situation.“

“We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Kraw-Kornack Funeral Home, especially Funeral Director Dave Hunter.

Our father, a proud veteran, recently passed away, and Dave made one of the most difficult times in our lives so much easier as we honored his life and planned his military service. From the very beginning, he had already contacted the appropriate military personnel and ensured that every detail was in place for this special tribute.

Dave’s compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail were truly appreciated by our entire family, especially our mother. His kindness and guidance gave us comfort and peace of mind throughout the entire process.

Everything was beautifully planned and flawlessly executed—from the funeral service, to the church ceremony, the military honors at the burial site, and the moving tribute by the bagpiper. Every detail came together to create a dignified, memorable, and fitting farewell for our father.

We will always remember the care and respect shown to our family during this difficult time. We are forever grateful and thankful that we chose Kraw-Kornack Funeral Home.

With sincere appreciation,

The Ciampa Family“

“I utilized the services from Pushard Family Funeral Home and they were fantatstic. I had made pre-arrangements for my sister who was in a nursing home. Unfortunately she passed while I was out of the country. Larry Pushard called me shortly after the death notice from the nursing home and completed the body removal, the arrangements and cremation efficently so I could deal with the matter when I returned home. I would highly recommend them as they understand family, needs and entire process from passing to burial.“

“handled my mothers wake and funeral. A+ service for their kindness and professionalism“

“My mom passed away suddenly last Sunday. We had just celebrated her 96th birthday, and hours later we were gathered around her hospital bed saying our goodbyes after she had a hard fall. I was in a daze, the hospital told us the funeral home would handle everything, so I searched on Google for one nearby. When I found Folsom, it said we could call 24 hours/day. It was midnight, I made the call, and Bob Folsom himself answered the phone. That is correct, no machine, no AI. He offered to meet with us at noon the next day. After a 2 hour meeting with him in Westwood where he presented us with several options and gave us a reasonable cost estimate. From there forward, he and his son Brian handled everything. I was hugely impressed, and grateful that he and Brian helped us navigate this difficult experience with grace and compassion. The personal touch of a family owned business is what made the difference. I highly recommend Folsom Funeral Services, they are thorough, efficient, honest, and compassionate.“

“My father, a Lutheran Minister, who worked with many local funeral homes, chose Folsoms for my mother's and his own. They couldn't have made it easier for my family and I. Everything was taken care of beautifully. Extra effort was made to complete some extra touches when we were late or forgetful. Bob and Brian were ever professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.“

“5 years ago Christmas eve my Nana passed. She was such a strong independent woman. She was kind. She had a sharp wit, she was our rock. When she passed we were lost. As we gather years later there is a debt of gratitude I must pay.
I accompanied my mom to Cafasso funeral home on what must have been the hardest day of her life. The kindness we were met with, the interest that Joe showed in my Nana. Who she was, what she liked. It made that moment so special. As we gathered for christmas this year, I realized everybody remembered her services, but nobody said thank you to the people who made it happen.
Joe, thank you for all the Dandelions, her favorite, there were plenty and we noticed EVERYBODY noticed. Thank you for making a very tough time so very special.
