Scanlan’s is top notch for beauty, light, and peace, along with accommodations for children’s room equipped with games on computers.

“No one ever wants to write a review like this, and no one ever wants to need one. But if you find yourself in the unimaginable position of losing a loved one, I can tell you with complete certainty that the team at Norman Dean Home for Services, and especially Melany, will carry you through it with more grace and compassion than you could ever hope for.

We lost my father suddenly while he was visiting me in Tampa, Florida, far from home, far from family, and with a level of logistical complexity that felt overwhelming in the depths of grief. Melany took what was an incredibly complicated situation and made it seamless. Every detail was handled with care, every question was met with patience and warmth, and every moment where we felt lost, she made us feel held.

This team didn't just coordinate a service. They showed up for our family with genuine love and empathy at the worst moment of our lives, and they took the most beautiful care of our Dad. Knowing he was in such compassionate hands brought us a comfort we didn't expect to find. We are forever grateful. If you are navigating the unthinkable, you are in the very best hands here.“

“The process of losing a loved one is something no one is ever truly prepared for—it’s overwhelming, emotional, and incredibly difficult. From the moment we walked into Stellato, we were met with warmth, compassion, and a sense of comfort that felt like family.

A special thank you to Dori, who went above and beyond during such a hard time. Her kindness, patience, and attention to every single detail did not go unnoticed. She guided us through every step with care and understanding, making an incredibly painful process just a little bit easier to navigate.

Not a single detail was missed. Everything was handled with such professionalism and genuine heart. We are truly grateful for the support, compassion, and dignity they showed our family.

We cannot recommend them enough to anyone going through such a difficult time.“

“During one of the hardest times for our family, Bob and Meg at Prout Funeral Home treated us with warmth, kindness, and professionalism. From the very beginning, they made us feel supported, never pressured, and truly cared for. They were patient, easy to talk to, and helped create a calm and comforting environment for our family.

I had heard from others that planning a funeral can be difficult emotionally and financially, but Prout made the process much easier than we expected. What stood out most was their 1) caring attitude, 2) transparent fees, 3) clear communication, and 4) therapy dog, Morris. One evening, while my daughter and I were working on the obituary page, Meg unexpectedly called us. She was also working late, saw us online, and wanted to personally help guide us through the process. Small acts of kindness like that gave our family a lot of peace of mind during a very stressful time.

The service itself was handled with care, dignity, and attention to detail. They balanced professionalism with genuine compassion in a way that truly honored our loved one’s memory. We even went over our scheduled time by 30 minutes, and they did not charge us extra for it. We are deeply grateful for their guidance, patience, kindness, and integrity“

They truly understood our family, showed us endless compassion, and handled every detail with care and respect. They made an incredibly difficult day feel special and meaningful in honoring my mother.

A heartfelt thank you to Santiago and Jodi for the exceptional work and support you showed us. Your kindness meant more than words can express, and we truly consider you close friends. Thank you for everything you did for our family during this time.
Thank you!❤

“Victor and Sal made me feel like part of their family. They went above and beyond—even coming to my house late at night to pick up my mom’s clothes. On my way over, the day of the service, I couldn’t wait to see them because they gave me the reassurance that everything would be okay. I highly recommend Leonardis Funeral Home for anyone that wants a dark time to be a little BRIGHTER…“
