The home is beautiful, bright, and comfortable and did not feel like a stuffy funeral home. Members of the family and visitors commented on the calming atmosphere of the home. One unique offering is their comfort dog Rosie who visited when we were making arrangements and responded with affection to those of us overwhelmed by emotion. I cannot say enough nice things about Jay Rojas who handled our arrangements and John and Jodi Blute who also helped us along the way. Highly recommend Chapman funerals and cremations to those looking for personable and caring services for their loved one.

Capt Paul and Capt Chip were wonderful at accommodating our needs. My elderly parents, both with walkers, and Derek's Mom (in a wheelchair) were easily brought onto the vessel with the guidance from Capt Paul. Had a great ride out of Sesuit Harbor to Cape Cod Bay. Capt Paul assured me on the ride out that there was no wrong way to say last words. My daughter, Melissa spoke before we put Derek to rest, and I said a few words. The salt urn was lowered into the ocean (by my young strong Nephew and Son in law). We brought roses and everyone onboard threw one into the water. Capt Chip slowly circled the floating roses so we could all take pictures and say a prayer. Highly recommended. Thank You Capt Paul and Capt Chip! God Bless, JB

Lola and her team were exceptional with the Chinese details. Our loved one was living in Quincy, but her roots were in Brighton. We appreciate that Lola and Hamel were able to secure the use of a Newton/Brighton funeral home. This venue allowed elderly friends to pay respects locally. Lola and her team had every detail covered. The amenities and services provided to our loved one and our visitors made the experience exceptional at this time of sorrow. Chinese snacks and refreshments were provided for the day. The car service and police detail were excellent. Hamel did their due diligence by driving out to the cemetery and our funeral route in preparation for the day of the funeral. Lola also dealt with the cemetery and the florist on behalf of our family. At the funeral, Lola explained both in Chinese and English for our visitors the particulars of the day. We were extremely pleased with Hamel and would highly recommend them, but especially their Asian services.

Our family lives in Newton and made a hasty decision regarding a different local funeral home as our grandmother passed in the middle of the night. This other funeral home we chose did not have any guidance to offer regarding transportation of cremains to China and so we called Hamel Lydon. Though we did not conduct funeral services or cremation through them, they were extremely kind and helpful regarding next steps for our family and even reached out to this other funeral home to help coordinate. This process is never easy but it was a relief to speak with someone who was well versed and willing to help.
