I called today to try and make similar arrangements and to pre-pay. When I tried to call (really that's where I started) , the most bizarre "voice" answered - pretty sure it was the world's worst AI. The AI claimed it couldn't hear me and hung up on me. I tried to call again and did get a human being but it was a callback service. I also tried filling out a form but that directed me to a sales person who wanted to know when to call. When I asked to speak with the same person I dealt with 9 years, they responded that no one is there from 9 years. Since we worked with the owner 9 years ago, that must mean Advantage was sold.

The true act of kindness occurs when doing a service for someone without expectation of repayment…read more We suddenly found ourselves in Portland Maine this weekend, attending to the unexpected final illness and passing of our loved one. This is the second death our family has experienced in the last few months and costs are unfortunately, of great concern. We were looking for a simple cremation for our loved one and we met with BrIan Hahn at Jones, Rich and Barnes Funeral Home. We did not have an appointment and were only in town for a couple of days. Brian dropped everything to meet with us and although we were not able to use his company's services, he was generous, compassionate and thoughtful. He guided us to another service which was able to provide what we were looking for. We will always remember his kindness and generosity at this difficult time for our family.

I cannot express how much this organization made a difficult time and easy and smooth as possible. I highly recommend.

The only thing that would have been nice would be to have a staff member that could be hooked up with local florists so we could order flowers during initial funeral planning. A+ and thank you to the Hutchins team!

A friend of ours, Mike Savage, who works part time for Conroy-Tully Walker had highly recommended their services. We are truly grateful to Mike because our experience with CTW was nothing but exemplary. We met with Alyssa before my father's passing to work out the particulars about what my Dad wanted. They respected my dad's wishes for simple cremation services. Alyssa was professional and genuinely empathetic to our needs. She took care of everything and a compiled a comprehensive list of legal tasks that we would need to address. Dealing with a loved one's death is a difficult situation for certain, but working with Alyssa made our experience so much easier. I would without a doubt highly recommend CTW. Our thanks to them and to Alyssa and Mike in particular.

Paul DiMatteo has been most helpful and forthright about the design and pricing of a memorial stone for my final place on earth. They have been in business since 1919 in the same place, located across from the well known Calvary Cemetery in SoPo on lower Main Street. Using a computer aided design program, Paul will work with you to make what is needed. I know it may be macabre to be doing a review for this subject but, it's gotta be done by someone, so why not me while Im still here to do it. Once the memorial stone is set, I will be back to update this review with maybe a photo, no holds barred here. So cheer up if I made you sad, and live life to the max, everyday is a gift.

This is one of the most beautiful cemeteries I have visited. It was filled with life, which seemed appropriate in celebration of those past. The wildlife, from herons to river otters, beautiful birds, flowers and tall trees. I have always thought cemeteries to be sad and depressing and run down. While I didn't walk through the entire cemetery, because I was here to see the otters, I was able to take in how beautiful and clean the area was in general. The paths can be walked on and driven on, just don't get locked in if you are inside and it's close to sundown. The cemetery closes at sunset. Here you will find runners, joggers and walkers and dogs. The people here were so friendly, sharing smiles and hellos. Everyone was so pleasantly interested in the otters as we all helped others to see them, when they poked up through the ice and water. I would recommend this place to see friends or otters (if they're still there) or for a bit of history - looking at all of the different headstones from many years past, or just taking in the quiet nature that surrounds this location. I can't wait to go back.
