John made everything so easy and affordable. He did not miss a detail. Everything flowed perfectly. Thank you so much!! I will recommend Dee Funeral Home to anyone in the area looking for a first class service.

I truly cannot emphasize enough how amazing John and his team were in planning my mom's burial…read more This is the second time we've used Dee, they are the very best. John was meant for this work and it shows. He is empathetic and patient, while also being extremely organized, knowledgeable and seemingly always available. John walked us down this very difficult path in a gentle manner, and took care of us and our mom like we were family. We never felt pushed towards any decisions, he showed us options and let us decide always ready to answer questions. I hope I won't be planning a funeral for a long time, but I can tell you without a doubt I would work with Dee again.

We used Acton Funeral Home when my mother passed years ago. The experience was such so that…read morealthough It wasn't nearby, I couldn't think of any place else I would want to go to when my father passed. Recently my father joined my mother, so I called Kathy Doran Boyle right away. She was outstanding to work with. She respected our wishes, addressed our concerns and provided ideas and recommendations we didn't know we needed. My father was a veteran, and she was very knowledgeable about the benefits he was entitled to and even helped us with the paperwork. We planned the funeral service at a location she had never worked with before, but she was happy to accommodate us. The wake was comfortable and met all our requests. The funeral also was just what we planned. She kept in touch all along the way with how plans were progressing, what she needed from us and what we could expect. She made our lives easier by providing prayer cards, thank you notes and a guest book. The funeral home itself is in an easy to find location, it is well-maintained and decorated, and there is plenty of parking.

She had left a garment bag at the funeral home containing all the clothes and mementos she wished to be buried with. The challenge for us and Dan was in having her shipped from California to Maynard where she was buried beside my Dad. From the notification of her passing, Dan coordinated everything from Acton. He stayed in constant communication with me during the entire process. Dan is compassionate, professional, and detailed oriented. During this stressful time for us, Dan's guidance and support was invaluable.

My father-in-law's funeral was at Duckett, they did a nice job. when my mother-in-law died, my…read morehusband wanted to have it at the same place because it was right down the street from where they lived. 2 years prior We met with a man from Duckett and planned/prepaid while she was in a nursing home, the man was lovely and explained everything to us and we paid. When my mother-in-law passed, we contacted Duckett, but the man we met with was no longer there., We met with a woman who said she was the director, she had a really difficult time locating our contract, but finally did. It was an odd meeting, and I felt like she was very new at this. The day of the funeral we arrived on time as the family, when we walked into the funeral home we couldn't find her or anybody, there was a janitor's door open, and a lot of cleaning supplies were still out in the hall. My family came in right behind us and brought it to our attention that there was no book for people to sign in so we had to look for the director ( took us 10 minutes to locate her) to ask her for the book and the stand. When my husband got up at the funeral to to speak, there wasn't anything for him to put his notes on. Again, I went looking for the director to ask her and she said she took the stand to put the sign in book on so she took the sign in book off and carry the stand to where my husband was speaking. It was odd, the entire ordeal was odd. Lastly, and I hate to bring this up, but my mother-in-law looked horrible. She had makeup caked on her and bright red lipstick. I couldn't in good faith recommend this place. Sorry

Even though there's no signage stating otherwise! Then I'm told the parking area is One Direction again no parking notifications of any type then I'm told one entrance is only used as an entrance and one entrance is only used as an exit even though there's no labels on either of them!! Sure I was pretty upset in the first place seeing us were there for a funeral, but I thought the whole purpose of those people was to keep everything smooth. The actual interior has water stained ceilings, bathroom fans that are dying much like the whole reason you're there is way better places.

Our local one came in with the cheapest cremation costs. A friend recommended Casper and it was almost half the cost from what our family funeral home quoted us. That was with a discount as well! I called Casper about 2 months beforehand and they were very detailed and provided all the info that was needed. I had multiple phone calls with them and they were able to assist me even though I was in California. I mostly spoke with Jake and Colton during this process. When I arrived Saturday was the only day I could go down and we had a snowstorm the day prior. Roads were pretty bad and they were able to accommodate me even though they had a service going on. Parking can be a nightmare there, I parked a few blocks away near a barber shop. I would recommend this place to everyone!! I was truly blown away by their service and empathy.

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.
