Upstairs is where you pick out all the options and they are set up very beautifully with prices in plain view, so no awkward asking for a price. Multiple rooms with lots of seating. They also helped us creat a slide show and it came out wonderfully. My poppy was in good hands here and I'm so thankful. This is a beautiful place to say goodbye to the ones you loved.

Settling estates can be complicated and time-consuming but surprisingly Holt's fail to acknowledge…read morethis. Maybe they'll learn from this review. My previous experiences with them had been completely positive but that was with the previous owners - the Holt family. Under these new owners, the team provided attentive service and seemed to truly care but soon after the funeral, the owners resorted to rude and threatening phone calls. I honestly thought they had hired a collection agency! In the end, they made it perfectly clear that they were only interested in the money which as I mentioned can frequently take some time with complicated estates. If you are bereaved and grieving, then be warned and look for a service home with more integrity.

Connie and Diane…read more Precious Blood Cemetery is an imposing and massive cemetery. Located right on the Blackstone River, it has rolling hills and acres and acres of graves. Some of the graves are simple wooden crosses with hand written names and dates while others are huge and ponderous memorials that look like they would be at home in ancient Greece. Very impressive if somewhat pretentious. The cemetery stopped taking new arrivals in 1955 and that is the infamous year that the twin hurricanes, Connie and Diane, paid a visit. Between them the two hurricanes dropped almost 28 inches of rain in some places and caused historical flooding in many parts of New England. The Blackstone River couldn't contain the sudden onslaught of water and poured over it's banks. Right into the cemetery. Whole parts of the graveyard were washed away and caskets were said to be seen floating right down Main Street. Some of the caskets were never found and probably floated out to sea while others were broken open and the bodies tossed about. Attempts were made to replace the graves and put the right bodies in the right caskets but there wasn't time to be absolutely certain and some bodies undoubtedly ended up in the wrong caskets under the wrong gravestones. So it's said that on foggy, cold or moon lit nights an ethereal presence comes over the graveyard and the spirits walk around looking for their proper resting places. Many people have claimed to have seen and heard all kinds of spooky and supernal apparitions. I've never seen anything really unusual here but then ghosts don't like me. Precious Blood is a cool place to walk around and look at all the imposing and huge memorials. If you're lucky you might even see something that really shouldn't be there.

My family and I had excellent service and a compassionate experience at a very difficult time with…read moreO'Neill Funeral Home. John, Roberta and the entire staff were attentive, thorough and responsive. My mother's funeral occurred in 3 states which is not simple, and John had to coordinate with another funeral home. The administrator of the funeral home in Maine that we worked with went out of their way to tell me that John had been a pleasure to work with which was unexpected, but not surprising. The facility in Cumberland is beautiful with a unique image projection system and piano on site for use in the service, and John has resources for everything we needed. We are very grateful.

My siblings and I were very happy with the service that Craig provided to us at the time of our…read morefather's passing. We recommend him wholeheartedly. Craig has the perfect demeanor for a funeral director. He is not only respectful and dignified, but also warm, kind, and compassionate. The way he handled every detail made us feel truly cared for - we didn't have to worry about anything. He gave us the information we needed at the exact moment we needed it - where to stand, where to walk, what to do, and what to expect. He even gestured silently to us in the church so that we knew all we had to do was look at him and he was right there to guide us. We know that this is what funeral directors do, but not all of them are as attentive. Craig guided us through our most difficult family time so carefully and thoughtfully that all the details fell perfectly into place. We were also impressed with the clear communication that transpired before, during, and after the entire process. Whenever we called (which was often), we received timely responses. He answered all of our questions - including ones that some consider 'taboo' to be curious about. It wasn't long before we breathed a collective sigh of relief because we knew we were in excellent hands. I think the best testament to Craig's exemplary service is to tell you that we have arranged to have Menard-Lacouture Funeral Home handle our mother's funeral when the time comes. He was our partner in laying Dad to rest. As unhappy a time as our mother's passing will surely be, it is comforting to know he will be there to lead the way. Our gratitude and thanks go to Craig and Menard-Lacouture Funeral Home.

Stones and trees…read more St. Paul's Cemetery is a graveyard built on a rolling series of hills. Not really high hills but enough so when you are walking around St Paul's you get a new view as you crest every hill or mound. St Paul's isn't an exceptionally old cemetery, the oldest graves I saw were from the early 1800s and many were much newer. In fact a whole section of the cemetery has exclusively recent arrivals. There is a very wide assortment of memorials and monuments, ranging from huge Celtic crosses and massive crypts to much more modest stones. Some wonderful old and spooky trees are scattered around that give the graveyard a pleasantly appropriate morbid appearance.
