I hate that I am in position of being able to write this review but the services were done so well…read morefor my father's funeral and visitation last month that it would be unfair for me not to let everyone know. All of the staff were so kind and helpful during the whole process. The care taken to make sure everyone was comfortable and then the follow up services provided were wonderful. It is the small details like pictures of all the arrangements sent so we could thank everyone that elevate their service. We cannot thank them enough.

I have worked in this business in my past and know how difficult it is to be graceful and compassionate and yet get the job done. Brad went above and beyond the call of duty!

It really saddens me that I have a reason to review this place. With that said they did a lovely…read morejob for my aunt's funeral. Incorporated in the 1950s they have been serving the Bridgeport area as a professional & caring family owned business for generations. Their building is set atop a steep little hill making it picturesque from the street below. They have large parking lot and had ushers directing you where to park to line up for the procession afterward. Their viewing rooms are well lit and spacious. My huge family put them to the test though and they had to bring in extra chairs and set up more in an adjacent room where all of the flowers and pictures were displayed. Since it was packed they kept the air conditioning turned up which was good for most, but sucked for me since I managed to pick the chair in the back directly above the vent and had cold air blowing up my back the entire time. The services were started on time and kept to the tight schedule. The same goes for all of the graveside services as well. I hope to not need their services again, but unfortunately if that is the case they were very professional and accommodating.

A note of appreciation for Jimmy Gemondo and the entire staff at Burnside Funeral Home…read more Your caring compassionate consultation made a very difficult situation easier to handle. Every contact, each step, each decision, and every question handled with an excellence in mannerism and a full explanation of path and process. Every emotion answered with calm understanding and support beyond our greatest expectations. Details taken care of, we were allowed the time to honor my Father's passing with dignity and respect knowing that Jimmy and the entire staff at Burnside were behind us making certain that all things, every person, and every wish or concern was carefully considered. Thank you again for your excellence in service Guy J. Fragmin

We had our Uncle's visitation and funeral here and I can't say enough good things about Pat Boyle…read moreFuneral home. Every person we encountered was so kind, sensitive to everyones emotions, and so helpful. The facility is beautiful inside and outside! Even at the burial their professionalism and kindness were above and beyond. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, I assure its worth every penny. They will take good care of you and your beloved one you lost. Unfortunately I have been to too many funerals in my life but I have to say this funeral home was by far the best service.

One of the hardest things I have ever done was to walk into Pat Boyle's funeral home....I didn't…read morewant to be there, I shouldn't have to be there, my emotions were still raw from the news of my fathers passing. From the moment they opened the door to welcome us in they began to help put at us ease and help us through this difficult process. They are warm and caring people that realize how difficult this process is and are there to support you through the entire process. Dotty is excellent at listening to the family and pulling out details that are incorporated into the service to make it as personal and as unique as the loved one was. The facility is fantastic. Plenty of parking, a full kitchen and child play room complete with Fish tank and plenty of things to help keep the little ones busy. The chapel is large and they allow you to personalize the decor, encouraging you to bring personal items that reflect your loved one's life. Dotty and Pat were there for anything we needed or wanted. They were professional and personal, if that is even possible. I cannot thank them enough for all they did and all their help through the entire process. They really do go out of their way to make saying goodbye as smooth and as painless as possible. I cannot recommend them more highly. Thank you Pat and Dotty and the entire staff of Pat Boyle Funeral home!!!

Their options and facilities are top notch and the staff is friendly and helpful. They are very reasonably priced for what they did for my father's service. So helpful and always quick to respond to any questions about the arrangements. They even delivered the flowers to a few places we asked after the services. As unfortunate as it might be to think about, we will in the future use their services as necessary. It is a wonder family and wonderful Family Business.

Jason made the process incredibly seamless during what was/is a difficult time in my family's life. He was very compassionate, kind, empathetic, and he even delivered a message to my dad when he picked him up after I made one small request. He was very knowledgeable in (and understanding of) muslim burial customs, something even I am not knowledgeable in. Thank you Jason for bringing my dad to his resting place, delivering my message to him, and for making the process easier during a time when everything else feels difficult.

I met Jason and Cathy when there was a need to help a friend with final expenses for her daughter…read more Both Jason and Cathy were super to work with and showed so much compassion to her family. I connected with them on Facebook.. Last week, a much more deep and personal need arose, with the passing of our dear mother. The normal thing to do would've been to call the funeral home that has provided care to our family for generations. However, when the question was asked, the name that came out of my mouth was "Smith's". I won't say that I didn't waffle inside of my head, but after my brothers and I met with Jason, we were reassured that we made the right decision. Jason and Cathy are the epitome of a perfect team. They were patient (and boy was their patience tested with me) and kind, forthright and accomodating. I know our momma was so proud of the care that she received. I, personally, felt an overpowering sense of family. On the day of the funeral, I prepared a touching and accurate eulogy. However, technology and I weren't working so well together over the last couple days. I had to decide whether to forego my personal eulogy to my mother or wing it. Jason snapped me out of my emotions and told me to trust him, speak from the heart and don't sweat the small stuff. I didn't remember everything I had written but I feel like I was able to appropriately convey what my mother meant to us. As with any service provider, any of the local funeral homes could care for your loved one, but none will care for your loved one like Cathy and Jason. It wasn't a business contract, it was family taking care of family. I rarely, if ever, give a 5 star rating, because rarely is anything perfect. Our experience with Jason and Cathy was nothing less than perfect. There wasn't a request that they couldn't accommodate. There is nothing they couldn't/wouldn't do. Their chocolate lab (comfort companion), Coco, adds to the atmosphere of family with our mother being the center of attention. I would ask, do you want a service or do you want a family experience? We made the right choice.
