My mom passed away and we, unfortunately, used DellaVechia Funeral Services. I was working with…read moreDean the whole time who was professional and kind. On the day before the funeral, he told us that Sherri Sciola would be the funeral director on sit. The mass was scheduled for 9:00AM at St. Dominic Church. My wife and I arrived at 8:25. There was a man from Della Vecchia standing at the entrance of the driveway who waived us in. I am handicapped and parked in the handicap space. After I entered the Church, he deceased in my mom and I would be going to the cemetery. He gave me a yellow cardboard flier to be hung on my rearview mirror and told me to move my car in line behind the hearse. Mind you, it was raining and snowing outside. After we returned inside the Church, my wife put her coat in the front pew. Sherri tapped her and said that she could not leave her coat there as that pew was only for family. My wife explained that she was family and I'm not sure why Sherri made the assumption that she was not. Sherri was not polite at all. After the funeral, I was supposed to walk down the aisle on my dad's right. Sherri grabbed his arm and marched him down the aisle as if she were family. It was awkward for all. After mass, in the vestibule, friends and relatives were offering family members their love and condolences. After the loved ones expressed their condolences, two of my four brothers and I exited the Church, only to realize that the procession to the cemetery left without us, even though my car was the second car behind the hearse! My brothers were not told to park behind the hears, so they had to walk a distance to find their cars. Many others, intending to go to the cemetery, as they had the yellow hangers, were also left behind. I caught up to the procession and was about the 40th car to enter the cemetery. Getting to the grave was difficult because the weather was inclement and I was parked to far away. I did not know where my brothers were. At the grave, I informed Sherri that the parking at the Church was disorganized and that she left without my brothers and me. I explained that my brothers had not arrived and we needed to wait for them. She rudely replied that she made an announcement for mourners to go to their cars at Church and many people ignored her so she left without them. No remorse and no apology. I had to anxiously wait to monitor to make sure the graveside service did not start without my brothers. Sherri made the experience of burying my mother unpleasant and needlessly stressful. I would strongly advise against her directing anyone's funeral.

It was in the fall so they could not guarantee it would be done that year due to it getting colder but it would be done the following year. Since I live out of state I asked for them to call me when it was completed and they took down my information and wrote a note to call me. Fast forward to early next summer and I haven't heard anything. I emailed multiple times and called but no one responded to my emails or answered the phone. When I was in Connecticut visiting I had to go to the cemetery to check and see if the engraving was done and it was, but no one from Ciarlo had let me know like they were supposed to. That being said, the engraving looks great. My interaction with them in-house when I paid for the engraving was nothing over the top. Just basic interaction. If you're looking for above and beyond I would go elsewhere.

That is twice what I paid in New Britain for exactly the same services 2 years ago. Included in that fee is $500 to take the information to take your business.

After a second monthly check arrived I called Social Security to let them know of my mothers passing and this was the first they had heard about it. Now I have the additional hassle of giving SSA their money back. They get one star because there is no lower rating (a negative rating would otherwise be applied).
