After my father recently passed away, A.J. could not have been more compassionate and helpful while making arrangements with my mother and myself. He took the time to be present at my father's lovely memorial service, held in Jacob's Way at Cedar Hill Cemetery, and my mother truly appreciated the fact that he arranged for a Deacon to perform the service, which was very important to her. I would recommend their services without hesitation, and we have entrusted them with our own pre-arrangements.

This past week was a tough one for our family, and Farley Sullivan made it as easy as they could for us in this difficult time.

Driven by this location many time was pretty surprised by the ease of getting in and getting out as the funeral was promptly after the business day concluded. There were ushers helping us park cars as it was a large gathering from in and out of state that was here to bid farewell to a friend and family. The lot was pretty tight yet served us well as I didn't have to fight for a spot and was heading inside. The staircase leading upstairs from the lot that I had parked was beautiful, though we all were dressed in black attire. Two different rooms for seating and the bigger room held the casket and visitors came to pay their respects. A decently sizes funeral home that some had to squeeze by others while there was still areas for groups to congregate. I imagine that a lot of thought and preparation was put into honoring this man and this funeral home did him justice. Cannot speak to the procession the day after to the cemetery as I couldn't attend but I imagine thar it was well organized and handle the business of the Elmwood West Hartford area.

It's never a good time when you need to visit one of these establishments but the staff here is incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. They were so kind and took care of everything.

They are very accommodating and readily available by phone or email as we needed them the week leading up to the services, and even afterwards.

Cedar Hill is an active cemetery with ongoing burials and memorials. Please be respectful of those who are visiting their relatives. And of course, please don't litter - bring your trash with you!

When we get there, the Cemetary people brought us to the incorrect plot. I tried several times to tell the Funeral Employees that we were at the wrong spot, they finally realized the problem. Some Idiot in the Cemetary Office "transposed" the numbers where the plot was. Even the people who dug the grave did not check if it was correct. This is an embarrassment to not just the Funeral home, but also the Family. The person in the Office did not do a very good job, and needs to be spoken to, and their worked checked.

When I 1st googled funeral homes, I checked out a few different options, but only Dignity had a perfect rating, and I now personally know why. They have been exceptional from the very beginning and still after it was all done. The people that work there are some of the most wonderful people I had the pleasure of meeting. One in particular, has been a huge support, went above and beyond, helped me and my family feel comfortable, and has personally made me feel like we were old friends. She is amazing, beautiful and great at what she does. There is also a gentleman there that is a fellow Yankees fan, who was non-stop on top of things, making sure what needed to get done, was done. Thank you Dignity Memorial for all you have done for me, my family, and my Dad in Heaven. Thank you!

Tis the season to be spooky…read more In 1638, this historic cemetery, the second oldest in Connecticut, was established. Many of the grave markers from the 17th century did not age well with time; those deteriorated because it was made of wood and weaker stones. The tombstones that outlasted time were from wealthy families that had the funds to purchase, have it engraved, and shipped to Wethersfield. There weren't many grave carvers in town at that time. There are only 3 tombstones that survived; all three were from the 17th century. Most of the tombstones were made of brownstones and grey granite schist. There were quite a few that I could not see any markings on it. Most of the tombstones were placed in an unorganized way; back then they chose whichever spots were available. It was nice and peaceful walking through. It fascinates me that these people were alive 386 years ago. There were definitely newer tombstones as well. I sense that this place gets really creepy at night....
