Utopian level of graciousness and sensitivity during an emotionally difficult and challenging time. 24hr. service
I want everyone to know what great care that was taken by John Rowe and Phil Short
For my mom Linda Mason. I have known both of these families my whole life. I have never seen more attention to every detail given by our family. I would strongly recommend this company for any Funeral services needed.
I want to thank you for the kindness and attention to detail you showed to me and my family at the passing of my husband.
The planting of a tree in his memory in the forests of Mass. is something my husband would have treasured and which I hold close to my heart. It gives me such a warm feeling to know that some where in Mass. there is a living tree in his name.
Thank you so much for all you did for my family. I appreciated it so much, as did my entire family. Everything was handled just the way I wanted it to be, by you and your staff.
