But they were kind caring just overall nice people and I know it's probably part of their job and part of their business but you know not really some people just are not meant for any job but these people are almost like you were family and they were treating you with such respect it was wonderful. I went back today but not to the funeral home but to go to the services as a church and then later to the cemetery and I just saw how wonderful they have done such a great job.

My husband passed away suddenly and so unexpected on 12/14/18. Brendan McNamara, fourth generation owner of their Cohasset location was so accommodating to myself and our family during the whole process. They are very aware of how your feeling during the consultation we had with Brendan right away . He made sure everything was perfect for the wake at the church across the street @ St. Anthony's Catholic Church. It didn't stop there when the services ended, They called days after making sure we received everything as far as the Thank You cards with my husband's photo on the front that were made to order from the first meeting to plan the unimaginable. After all said and done and Brendan and his employees really were so easy and understanding of the pain my family is still going thru. I'm 100% happy we chose them to lead the way for a wake ad funeral when we had no thought process after my husband left us.

We had a sailboat near Greenport for 20 years and loved our time there. We live in California now but I knew I needed to scatter some of my husband's ashes near Greenport. I found New England Burials at Sea online. I was so impressed after talking to Captain Brad. He was kind and so accommodating. It was a bittersweet day for us. But with the guidance and support of Captain Brad, it is now a beautiful tribute to my husband.

The day was cold and blustery and Captain Brad navigated the boat like the skilled captain he is. He had readings and songs planned in case we didn't have any. He had flowers on the boat so we could throw them in the water with the ashes. Our family was very happy with everything and highly recommend Captain Brad and New England Burials at Sea for your ash scattering.

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.

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.
