    We've known Sheehan-Hilborn-Breen Funeral Home both professionally and personally for decades and…read morehave come to consider them as family. During the very sad, overwhelming and emotional times after losing a loved one, it's comforting to know that SHB is available to shoulder the task and help you and your family navigate through the storm. In confusing and uncharted journeys, it's important to have trusted and highly experienced professionals available to help. Once again, after losing a close relative last October, we are appreciative of the professional manner that the arrangements for our cousin were planned and perfectly executed by SHB.

    Usually try to avoid funeral homes but unfortunately life isn't so kind and I was brought here to…read moreattend a funeral service for coworkers' father that recently passed. Driven by this location many time was pretty surprised by the ease of getting in and getting out as the funeral was promptly after the business day concluded. There were ushers helping us park cars as it was a large gathering from in and out of state that was here to bid farewell to a friend and family. The lot was pretty tight yet served us well as I didn't have to fight for a spot and was heading inside. The staircase leading upstairs from the lot that I had parked was beautiful, though we all were dressed in black attire. Two different rooms for seating and the bigger room held the casket and visitors came to pay their respects. A decently sizes funeral home that some had to squeeze by others while there was still areas for groups to congregate. I imagine that a lot of thought and preparation was put into honoring this man and this funeral home did him justice. Cannot speak to the procession the day after to the cemetery as I couldn't attend but I imagine thar it was well organized and handle the business of the Elmwood West Hartford area.

    Abbey was very efficient and thorough and professional in the handling of my late spouse's…read morecremation as well as locating a plot, ordering a headstone and even formatting a portion of his ashes into an artistic work which will be placed on my desk, so that my spouse will always be by my side. When I had questions, which, I admit, were numerous and often, the staff had prompt answers. Whenever I felt unsure about a certain decision I was about to make, the details were explained to me, allowing me to make the best decision for myself and my spouse. Everything that should be provided by a first-rate service was provided. Abbey Cremation Service was recommended by the caring folks at Middlesex Hospital Hospice Care, and I thank them for it. I was able to arrange for many of the details ahead of time, which does help tremendously in securing the arrangements that best suit your needs. I recommend Abbey for their service, value and professionalism.

    This is a terrible company to deal with. They sent my Mother's cremains and the 2 metal urns were…read moreterribly scratched up. Instead of simply offering some sort of reimbursement, Luke basically said it was MY fault and not their crappy wrapping of my loved ones remains. He expected me to mail them all the way back to Connecticut from California. As a retired funeral director this is not the way you should treat a grieving family during one of the worst times of their lives.

    Not surprised at all with their one (1) star rating! I'm sure if it was possible the previous…read morecommentators would give Brooklawn Funeral Home a zero rating if they could. This funeral home is totally unprofessional, blatantly rude, condescending, verbally aggressive and money hungry. They claim to be sympathetic to the deceased and the family but are definitely far from that quality of care and compassion for the families that have used their services. To them it's all about the money they will make for themselves with the least amount of compassion, support and understanding for the grieving family members dealing with difficult decisions, situations and circumstances during this process. My situation became more difficult when their requested next of kin information was provided by me to their office and was not filed completely and legally for a necessary legal document until I had to intervene with the help of a representative of the state to have the legal document amended fully. Do your research on this funeral home, be proactive, don't settle for anything until you fully understand what you are going to receive for your financial responsibilities. Even in grief and mourning you need to be prepared and aware of what you will receive and what your responsibilities will be. Don't let your emotions blind you to giving up your rights during this difficult time. Research, be proactive before the time comes when you need a place for your loved ones.

    Just attended a friends funeral at this place. I cringed to go back there. Saw the owner and he…read moredidnt remember me. Met with the owner 2 years ago. The owner is a bully and should not be in the funeral business. No compassion when a family is grieving. Its all about business to them. Do yourself a favor and run before considering this place!! I should have Googled this place and the owner's name before going there! Horrifying!

    When a loved ones dies you expect some sort of sympathy. This was a horrible experience from the…read moreday we walked in. If we would have known my mothers service was not paid for, we would have taken her somewhere else. Guy was clueless that was helping us, the bill was paid before we left. Told us the contract would be typed out and then it would have to be signed. Couldn't get hold of the Deacon, was told we would have to pay him directly and that changed. Could not hand in the obit write up said it needed to be emailed in and she would get to us on Monday. Mind you my mothers service was on Friday and getting an obit in the paper has to be done at least 2 days before. She finally called us late Tuesday afternoon. Asked if we could quickly proof read it, because she said she had a doctors appointment she had to get to. (Really) With all the rushing the obit ended up being wrong in the paper. Thank God it was able to be changed online. We went on Wed to pay her for the Deacon and thinking we were also going there to sign the contract. We get there and she said she hasn't had time. (Really) When we were there we gave the lady a statue to be put in with her ashes and a jar so we could have some ashes kept aside. Day of the cemetery service thought it could not get worse. Lady at the funeral home calls my sister half hour before the service and tells her she needs to bring a check for the cemetery payment. This was unbelievable are there not by laws to go by? All of this should have been added so we would not have to keep going through this. So to top it off they never took out any ashes for us and the statue was still at the funeral home. They had to call and have someone bring it and take some out at the cemetery. My sister received the contract at the cemetery nothing was itemized and the contract was never signed till this day. The Deacon had a mask on and no one could hear him. I will say that we did have a good experience with my dad, but this really broke my heart. The closing I will never forget
