My father passed away in October 2019. I was a mess. We don't always anticipate the little things…read moreinvolved with the passing of a loved one u til they are right in front of your face. But it's these little things that truly make the difference between you surviving the death of a loved one or going down an awful downwards spiral. When dad died the hospital gave us the contact info to Auclairs. Right there is a mistake- the hospitals should hand out a list to choose from and not endorse one funeral home or another. I called Auclairs at first but was made to feel like a bother, a number, a nuisance in fact. I immediately decided to look elsewhere and came across Boule Funeral Home. Owners Tom and Wendy bent over backwards to help me and my handicapped mother. They helped us to save every penny possible and they clearly were not looking to take financial advantage of a grieving family, something I've always feared. We're not wealthy and they made sure we weren't given options that only wealthy families could afford. Tom and Wendy are compassionate, available, connected, and have kind hearts. At one point I had asked to sit with dad before the funeral. I was welcomed to sit there and hold his hand, tears overflowing, until I had all the closure that I needed to move forward- As a nurse, I often get approached by folks who tell me that I have changed their lives in one way or another- that's how I felt with Boule. It's often the little things that truly make the difference between you surviving the death of a loved one or going down an awful downwards spiral. Tom and Wendy made sure that ALL things were attended to when we were barely able to attend to ourselves. NEVER EVER CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AREA. Thank you Boule Funeral Home Mike Kimball

If someone is looking for a review of funeral homes, likely this is not a great time in their…read morelives. Normally, I would not think to review, however after having recently had 2 funerals in 2 years at Boule's I feel the need to leave some feedback. Tom is an absolutely astounding human being. In 2017, my family lost my 16 year old sister to health complications. The loss was sudden and left us in an extremely hard place financially, emotionally and mentally. A friend of ours drove my mom to Boule's to speak with Tom. Upon hearing the story of my sister's life and how dedicated my mother was to her, Tom decided to be patient and work out whatever he could to help us give her the services she deserved without feeling pressured to think about the money right away. He was just absolutely kind, I have no words to describe it. More recently, two weeks ago, I lost a childhood best friend. His mom decided to go with Boule. Again, I saw Tom and he remembered my family despite it being two years. He asked questions and was genuinely interested in knowing how we were doing. He and his team did an amazing job with giving my friend one last send off. He even allowed us closer friends to stay an extra 30 minutes because he knew we were having a rough time. My friend was 28, we're all a bunch of "kids" who didn't expect this so suddenly. Again, Tom understanding as always was patient and kind with us and the family. *****Overall, I highly recommend going with this home. These people genuinely care for you, your family and your feelings. They aren't after the money.

The worst experience of my entire life. I thought telling my young daughters their beloved…read moreGrandfather had died just days after Christmas was the worst thing I'd ever done, but taking my suddenly bereaved mother-in-law to Auclair Funeral Home was worse. We were greeted by a woman (Sue?) who plopped done and quickly said, "So, Mrs. Rezendes, what are we doing today?" as casually as taking an order at McDonald's. We proceeded to tentatively explain that her beloved husband had died just the day prior and we weren't quite sure. She brusquely asked again about our plans, of which we had none, and offered very little solutions. When I asked about a short service on the coming weekend, Dec. 31-Jan. 2, she said it would be tough because "the New Year's holiday screwed us" and staff was limited. The experience was the exact opposite of what my mother-in-law and her sons needed, so the second time she left the room to check her calendar I followed her out, at the request of my family. I asked her if she could "please, bring it down a notch" because my mother-in-law was very upset and emotional, and she had a visceral, angry reaction. She said, "what the hell are you talking about?". I gave the examples above and asked that she speak with a bit more care. She rolled her eyes and yelled to her (husband?) Adam to get out here to deal with me. I thought Adam might diffuse the situation because clearly the bereaved should be respected, however he quickly said "no, we don't need this" and told me to leave. He followed me back to my family and told them to get out because they couldn't work with us. Never in my life have I been so disrespected, and on an extremely trying, emotional day. I expected care and compassion and was instead treated in the worst possible way. Luckily, we were able to make an appointment at Hathaway Family Funeral Homes, also in Fall River, that same day and received the service we expected from utmost professionals, for roughly the same price. The space was larger, more inviting, and staffed with warm, loving family members who would never treat anyone the way the Auclair family treated us. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and stay far away. PS - my husband posted a similar Google review shortly after our meeting (it used to appear above Rich B's review). Rest assured we will copy and paste this for as long as it takes to spread the word, regardless of how many times Auclair removes it.

SHE HANGS UP THE PHONE ON YOU! How's that for RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL! It's a dirty cemetery. The roads are all cracked & pot holes. We pay through the nose for the right to burial of loved ones & stone. But that is all. They have no respect for the deceased. Or their families! So sorry my Father is buried here! And they close gates. God forbid you work during the day & weekends. Or if you want to leave flowers. Or a candle on flat stones. You don't have the same rights as the tall stones do. Guess the tall stones money is greener & better. Than the flat stones. If you have a flat stone. They throw away anything loved ones leave for the diseased. Which is very disrespectful! And almost like stealing from the deceased! And makes loved ones feel discriminated! Because God forbid who ever mows the lawn. Can show the same respect for ALL the deceased & their families! And go around the stone! As they do for the tall stones! Or at least let the deceased families take care of the up keep & mowing of the their deceased Stones area themselves! And at least then I am sure the cemetery would be cleaner! And so that They can leave flowers. Or a candle in memory of their loved ones! Also cemetery locks it's gates during the week at 3:30 PM and at 12:30 PM on the weekends! Call ahead for the current visitation hours. You have to visit the deceased on their schedule! NOT yours. Also if their reason for them closing the gates is so that no one vandalizes. If people really want to vandalize. They can always jump the fence. Also the cemetery is filled with goose excrement everywhere! It is REALLY SO GROSS! They should be more worried about CLEANING UP THE GOOSE EXCREMENT! That you can't even walk to a grave site. Without stepping in goose excrement! Then they worry about removing flowers & candles that loved one leave. To show respect in memory of their loved ones! It really is a shame! Aug. 9th 2014 I go visit my fathers grave. Just to see that my father's head stone has been damaged. Because they mowed the lawn right over the stone. Not showing the same respect for all the dead! This was so heart breaking to me & my family. I am so sorry we buried him here. This is such a horrible disrespectful cemetery! We spent so much money for nothing! We have no rights! Apparently this is a place were if you want to off somebody. This is were you dump the body & run. No Flowers allowed. You're lucky if you can have a stone. But if they damage it due to their carelessness Oh well you have no rights. Except the right to dump the body & run! I wish this site would let me post a picture of the damaged stone!

It…read moreis a serene and beautifully maintained space that offers more than just a glimpse into Fall River's past. The grounds are in excellent condition, with winding paths, mature trees, and a quiet dignity that makes it easy to linger. The primary attraction for many tourists is Lizzie Borden's tomb, which is surprisingly simple to locate. Proceed directly down the central road from the main entrance on Prospect Street. A fork will appear after 200 yards or so; bear left and keep going until you come to a little rotary. Just off the road to the right is the Borden family plot; park close by and stroll toward it. Lizzie's stone is plain and level, bearing only her name: "Lizzie." Her parents and sister Emma are among the many Bordens buried there, and it's part of a wider family cluster. The cemetery itself is quiet. Historic without being overgrown. Solemn without feeling oppressive. The kind of place where memory feels tangible, especially when you're standing among the names that shaped one of America's most enduring mysteries. Oak Grove is worth the visit, regardless of your interest in real crime or your general admiration for well-maintained cemeteries. [Review 1090 of 2025 - 1240 in Massachusetts - 24644 overall]
