Park Cemetery has a bad rep because of its past, but it currently is under new management. I've…read morejust recently buried my loved one here, because my family and I liked how private the area feels. I can say that management has been extremely responsive and attentive to all of the families initial worries and concerns. I have even been approached by board members letting me know about changes and addressing my needs. They are currently under a lot of improvements which is comforting, hoping for more good things.

It was a sad day yesterday when my family who traveled across the country and I attempted to visit…read moreour loved ones graves. No one was available to tell us where they are located and the most shocking part was seeing the condition of the cemetery. Horrifying, to say the least. Overgrown grass and weeds, stones sinking, and gouges of dirt or grass missing and hidden by overgrowth enough for your foot to sink in and trip on. I saw a pile of garbage (which may have been articles from gravesites) pushed against a tree-lined open area along a border. Disgusting. Although my relatives didn't believe in cremation, seeing what can happen to a cemetery with extremely poor management makes cremation look more enticing. It is difficult to understand how or why someone could allow this to happen to a cemetery. I thought there were laws and regulations which prevent this sort of thing, perhaps someone in some capacity was not paying close enough attention over the years. We called the main number during the daytime hours and eventually located a new person in charge. We are working on retrieving information according to his recommendations for finding our relatives. He asked for names and dates and even sections if we knew them and he will search through interment books to hopefully locate their plots. He also recommended we look on Ancestry.com to locate information. It is my hope that this new person/committee in-charge will see to it that the problems with this cemetery will be resolved in a timely manner.

Although it was a very difficult times for our family, Commerce Hill was extremely helpful during…read morethe entire process. It all started when a loved one passed on, late on a Friday night. Commerce Hill arrived within an hour and was extremely flexible in scheduling the planning the following day. David Dougiello was our mentor during the entire process and did an amazing job of accommodating our requests and taking care of every little detail. We were able to focus our entire energy on the family and helping each other grieve. David and the entire staff went above and beyond to explain everything, offered a no-pressure approach to making decisions that were best for our family, and took care of every little detail leading up to and including the funeral and burial. Thanks to everyone for the support. Please make sure you seek out David and work with him as he is trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly attentive to detail to help you through your difficult time.

Once again, I had to rely on Lester Gee's services. Unfortunately, this time it was my daughter…read more Her husband had wanted to use a service in another city, but my daughter (who was very much involved in the decision making prior to her passing) stated, "No, mommy was very happy with Lester Gee, so we're going to go with them." We did so, and I really got to see first-hand how kind and caring they are. Chris and an associate came to the house to pick up my daughter, and they were so patient as the family said their good-byes. They handled my baby with such care. Afterward, my son-in-law interacted with them and he is not the most knowledgeable person. Again, Chris was just so wonderful and patient. I cannot thank the Gees and their associates enough for their kindness. Knowing my daughter was in such good hands was comforting to the entire family. And they didn't try to overcharge us, or sell us things we didn't want. Although it is a business, they never treated us as if they were only interested in the bottom line. It may sound strange, but if I'm in Bridgeport when I pass, this is the place I want to handle my remains. Thank you so much, Lester Gee and company. My family and I really appreciate you.

Heartless funeral director at this location. Insisted on charging more than a mother could afford…read moreto bury her baby. Actually laughed at how much a nonprofit organization was willing to pay to help with the cost and said that the mother would just have to cremate "it". Taking decisions away from a mother who has already just had her world crushed. Just leave dead babies and their loss parents alone. Clearly out just to make a buck without a care. Wrong line of work for that.

When this funeral home sent people to collect her body from the home, they nearly dropped her on the way out of the house. The workers proceeded to laugh about it and recorded it in video, right in front of her family. The family's doorbell video caught this disgraceful act on camera. Avoid Larson's. Go to Lesko in Fairfield instead. Shameful.

Well I must said, Community was truly a blessing to us during this time of bereavement. They were caring, sympathetic, helpful, and reassuring. They did a great job with my grandma, as Brenda said they would. When we reviewed my grandma, I laugh and cried tears of joy because she looked great; went out as stylish as she was, hair and all. It was amazing. There was snow storm prior to her service. Community came through. They were prompt and courteous, patient (never felt rushed) and kind. I would recommend them to everyone sending a loved one off.

So we set a time and was told Mr. Morton's wife would be there, but the barber sat and waited for a half hour and nobody ever showed up. To make matters worse Mr. Morton told me they would line him up and they didn't. Then we wanted to get a belt to someone to complete his look and they even gave us the run around about that, it is sad that you are in the comfort business but you didn't provide any. Not only that but they tried to charge us $100 extra, saying an IT person had to be called to help with dismantling some pictures for the program. Where is your compassion and professionalism. My cousin didn't look anything like himself. They even had the date he died wrong on the program. Stay away from this funeral home I would never use them or recommend them!

The facility was once located on Barnum Avenue, across from Holy Name Church, but moved to the present location about the time of the merger of the two separate businesses.
