“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.“

I am glad our family chose them for this important day in our lives!! I would highly recommend their service to feel at peace that your loved one is in good hands.“

“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.“

I recommend Gormley without hesitation.“
