Not sure if anyone shops for funeral services via Yelp. If so, I hope this is helpful…read more Our 33-year-old son, Mark, was walking across America (barefoot), raising awareness for climate change and also, raising money for a collective called FANG. On January 21, he was struck and killed by an SUV in Fort Walton, Florida. Dealing with the death of an only child is difficult enough, but trying to figure out how to get him back home to Providence, RI, was a logistical challenge. Thankfully, some great consumer info was on-hand, which led me to Tom Olson, at Olson & Parent Funeral Home. I've worked in the funeral industry as a part-timer, so I know the ropes, However, Tom is a cut above the rest. He's compassionate, efficient, and he never let us down throughout every step of the process of bringing Mark home to Providence. This also included dealing with the medical examiner's office in Florida, and making sure we got our death certificates, which are essential for the probate matters we are now attending to. I highly recommend Tom and Olson & Parent if you ever have to deal with losing a loved one and need compassionate funeral services. They are stellar!

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.

She did an amazing job with both, so when my mother-in-law was placed on hospice in March, we called and asked specifically for her. From start to finish, Nicole began taking care of business and always made herself available, even on her days off. We wanted to place the obituary in the local paper, but it needed to be in quickly. My husbands aunt and I were trying to write it together by collaborating over the phone as we live in different states. We needed to make the deadline by 12:00 pm and we just made it but since we rushed there were many error's that we noticed after. I frantically got ahold of Nicole and without missing a beat she corrected the article right in time for the printed version. We were originally told that they couldn't guarantee an open casket, as we were waiting 2 weeks after she passed to have the funeral so that my son could come home on military leave for it. But Nicole made it happen. She even touched up my mother in laws regrowth, and colored her brown roots to blond. The services went very smoothly and Nicole organized the whole event with ease. Our family and friends were very pleased with the results. I realize that writing a review for a funeral director is not as glamorized as a review for a vacation, but it is something that all of us will have to face someday for not only ourselves but the loved ones on our life. I had a negative experience when we buried my father in law, with another funeral company. I can only say that this experience is etched in my memory that even exceeds the loss of my father in law. Having a kind, patient, caring, thoughtful person taking care of everything after your loved one has passed makes the experience much more bareable. Nicole has done this for us in all that she does and we will for ever be grateful.

My grandmother passed away suddenly; it was a hectic time and we were trying to make arrangements as best as we could. We called the hospital she had passed away at, and they suggested Dyer-Lake, which was close by to where my grandmother had lived. Originally we wanted to do it in RI, since she had lived there for years and most family/friends are there, but due to some circumstances, this funeral home would be best. From the first moment going there through the grave side service, they were super helpful and friendly. They spoke to us about prices, about picking up the body; helped us get a mass service at our church and helped us figure out how to get her buried with her late son. At the wake, as soon as the family arrived, we were treated well. Cars got parked for us, they explained how the service would go. They had pamphlets and cards beautifully made! We were so surprised. The pamphlets had her information, poems and lots of pictures. The cards are laminated and beautiful. Everyone who came to the wake received one, hand given by the staff. They also had chocolate angels for guests, a nice treat. The day of the funeral they were there with the casket and directed us through everything. My family is very thankful to Dyer-Lake Funeral Home, the owners and all employees. They made a stressful, sad situation, a little easier and we couldn't have asked for more.

They consistently go above and beyond to ensure your family is supported in ways you may not have even considered. Tim and his team are nothing short of amazing.

During each of these heartbreaking times, he took care of everything for me with unmatched professionalism and kindness.

For Tim, this isn't just a job--it's clearly a calling, and it shines through in everything he does. I can't recommend Dyer Lake Funeral Home, Tim, and his incredible team more highly. They have become like family to us, and I would never consider using anyone else for my loved ones. Thank you, Tim, for everything you've done. You are a beloved part of our family, and we are forever grateful. Deborah Owens
