Yes she gave love to her five daughters but gave me horrifying years. She was not devoted to all her children. Whoever wrote and submitted this obituary clearly states her "devotion to her five daughters". Not to her first born, me. Also, I don't and never lived in Tennessee, I retired in Florida where I built a beautiful home for my beautiful wife of many years. Germaine S. Dalpe will never be missed by me.

This is a lovely Victorian home used as a funeral parlor. We had my grandfathers reception here and…read moreit was beyond lovely. They have a girl to open to door for you. Upstairs is where you pick out all the options and they are set up very beautifully with prices in plain view, so no awkward asking for a price. Multiple rooms with lots of seating. They also helped us creat a slide show and it came out wonderfully. My poppy was in good hands here and I'm so thankful. This is a beautiful place to say goodbye to the ones you loved.

Settling estates can be complicated and time-consuming but surprisingly Holt's fail to acknowledge…read morethis. Maybe they'll learn from this review. My previous experiences with them had been completely positive but that was with the previous owners - the Holt family. Under these new owners, the team provided attentive service and seemed to truly care but soon after the funeral, the owners resorted to rude and threatening phone calls. I honestly thought they had hired a collection agency! In the end, they made it perfectly clear that they were only interested in the money which as I mentioned can frequently take some time with complicated estates. If you are bereaved and grieving, then be warned and look for a service home with more integrity.

My family and I had excellent service and a compassionate experience at a very difficult time with…read moreO'Neill Funeral Home. John, Roberta and the entire staff were attentive, thorough and responsive. My mother's funeral occurred in 3 states which is not simple, and John had to coordinate with another funeral home. The administrator of the funeral home in Maine that we worked with went out of their way to tell me that John had been a pleasure to work with which was unexpected, but not surprising. The facility in Cumberland is beautiful with a unique image projection system and piano on site for use in the service, and John has resources for everything we needed. We are very grateful.

My siblings and I were very happy with the service that Craig provided to us at the time of our…read morefather's passing. We recommend him wholeheartedly. Craig has the perfect demeanor for a funeral director. He is not only respectful and dignified, but also warm, kind, and compassionate. The way he handled every detail made us feel truly cared for - we didn't have to worry about anything. He gave us the information we needed at the exact moment we needed it - where to stand, where to walk, what to do, and what to expect. He even gestured silently to us in the church so that we knew all we had to do was look at him and he was right there to guide us. We know that this is what funeral directors do, but not all of them are as attentive. Craig guided us through our most difficult family time so carefully and thoughtfully that all the details fell perfectly into place. We were also impressed with the clear communication that transpired before, during, and after the entire process. Whenever we called (which was often), we received timely responses. He answered all of our questions - including ones that some consider 'taboo' to be curious about. It wasn't long before we breathed a collective sigh of relief because we knew we were in excellent hands. I think the best testament to Craig's exemplary service is to tell you that we have arranged to have Menard-Lacouture Funeral Home handle our mother's funeral when the time comes. He was our partner in laying Dad to rest. As unhappy a time as our mother's passing will surely be, it is comforting to know he will be there to lead the way. Our gratitude and thanks go to Craig and Menard-Lacouture Funeral Home.

Stones and trees…read more St. Paul's Cemetery is a graveyard built on a rolling series of hills. Not really high hills but enough so when you are walking around St Paul's you get a new view as you crest every hill or mound. St Paul's isn't an exceptionally old cemetery, the oldest graves I saw were from the early 1800s and many were much newer. In fact a whole section of the cemetery has exclusively recent arrivals. There is a very wide assortment of memorials and monuments, ranging from huge Celtic crosses and massive crypts to much more modest stones. Some wonderful old and spooky trees are scattered around that give the graveyard a pleasantly appropriate morbid appearance.

This is the Kubaska Funeral Home. My family has had 8 family members buried from this establishment and each was extremely well done. Our satisfaction has been 100%. David Kubaska is a perfectionist whose technical proficiency is second only to his empathy for survivors. Preneed arrangements are offered and highly suggested from personal experience. No detail is too small for Kubaska's to tend to. Recently a relative's casket was custom made thanks to the intervention from Kubaska's.
