My father passed away in October 2019. I was a mess. We don't always anticipate the little things…read moreinvolved with the passing of a loved one u til they are right in front of your face. But it's these little things that truly make the difference between you surviving the death of a loved one or going down an awful downwards spiral. When dad died the hospital gave us the contact info to Auclairs. Right there is a mistake- the hospitals should hand out a list to choose from and not endorse one funeral home or another. I called Auclairs at first but was made to feel like a bother, a number, a nuisance in fact. I immediately decided to look elsewhere and came across Boule Funeral Home. Owners Tom and Wendy bent over backwards to help me and my handicapped mother. They helped us to save every penny possible and they clearly were not looking to take financial advantage of a grieving family, something I've always feared. We're not wealthy and they made sure we weren't given options that only wealthy families could afford. Tom and Wendy are compassionate, available, connected, and have kind hearts. At one point I had asked to sit with dad before the funeral. I was welcomed to sit there and hold his hand, tears overflowing, until I had all the closure that I needed to move forward- As a nurse, I often get approached by folks who tell me that I have changed their lives in one way or another- that's how I felt with Boule. It's often the little things that truly make the difference between you surviving the death of a loved one or going down an awful downwards spiral. Tom and Wendy made sure that ALL things were attended to when we were barely able to attend to ourselves. NEVER EVER CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AREA. Thank you Boule Funeral Home Mike Kimball

If someone is looking for a review of funeral homes, likely this is not a great time in their…read morelives. Normally, I would not think to review, however after having recently had 2 funerals in 2 years at Boule's I feel the need to leave some feedback. Tom is an absolutely astounding human being. In 2017, my family lost my 16 year old sister to health complications. The loss was sudden and left us in an extremely hard place financially, emotionally and mentally. A friend of ours drove my mom to Boule's to speak with Tom. Upon hearing the story of my sister's life and how dedicated my mother was to her, Tom decided to be patient and work out whatever he could to help us give her the services she deserved without feeling pressured to think about the money right away. He was just absolutely kind, I have no words to describe it. More recently, two weeks ago, I lost a childhood best friend. His mom decided to go with Boule. Again, I saw Tom and he remembered my family despite it being two years. He asked questions and was genuinely interested in knowing how we were doing. He and his team did an amazing job with giving my friend one last send off. He even allowed us closer friends to stay an extra 30 minutes because he knew we were having a rough time. My friend was 28, we're all a bunch of "kids" who didn't expect this so suddenly. Again, Tom understanding as always was patient and kind with us and the family. *****Overall, I highly recommend going with this home. These people genuinely care for you, your family and your feelings. They aren't after the money.

If you want your loved ones taken care of after they pass away then stay away from this funeral…read morehome! My MIL passed away on a Sunday. We met with Bill from the Kingston location Monday morning. We went over all the costs and details. For a one day 4 hour wake and a meet at the cemetery funeral it was over $9000 without including casket, vault, or anything like that. When we were there Monday morning Bill said my MIL was already embalmed. We had the services on Saturday so 6 days from the date she passed. On the morning of the wake Bill calls me and tells me that my MIL does not look good and she has significant blisters on her face and we should do a closed casket (not my MIL wishes)! Now an embalmed body properly done should not show signs of blistering by day 6. Bill stated he would talk to the owner about getting the embalming fee reimbursed. So the following Tuesday I sent an email to the owners and never got a response. I waited a week and contacted Bill. He stated that the office would give me a call. 5 more days go by with no call. Finally I threaten them with contacting the state and after 2 more phone calls to the answering service someone calls me back and states a refund will be going out in the mail. A whole $690 back from over $9000 given to them for this egregious mishap. $90 of that was because we paid for a hair stylist to come in and do her hair. Also the day of the wake the doorman kept asking the 18-22 year old females "what's the password" before he would open the door for them. Like way to be creepy! Needless to say, we got some money back for their mistake but it doesn't negate the fact that family feels like they never had a real chance to say goodbye. Also never a response from ownership of the funeral home or an apology in any way! I would stay far away from this place!

We required funeral services for my mother recently and we used Shepherd Funeral Home…read more I have to say they were professional and caring. Every step of the way I was kept well informed and we were able to have the most wonderful services for her, just as she wanted and just as we wanted. We found the staff and funeral director to be available helpful and answered all of our questions that we had. If you have never gone through a loss and the stresses of losing someone they go above and beyond explaining things and walking us through the whole process. Thank you Shepherd Funeral Home

A member of our family had passed recently and we had scheduled a funeral as well as a cremation…read morefor her. However, on the day of the funeral and cremation, we were notified by the company (at the crematorium) that they cannot proceed with the cremation because the proper paperwork as not received by the funeral home. Connie was the person placed in charge of processing our funeral as well as the paperwork. When we called Connie to ask what was happening, we were clearly in distress and Connie had raised her voice at us telling us she did not appreciate our tone. If a delay happened in your service for a member of your family, wouldn't you be distressed? Connie is an unfit candidate who can't handle frustrating situations. We are in further distress especially after how the funeral home and Connie had handled their jobs. There are so many other places to hold a funeral service, this is not even one you should consider.

There are simply no words that could ever fully express our family's gratitude for Lilly Darling…read more Over the past few months, our family experienced the unimaginable, we lost two loved ones, one in April and another in June. To have to walk through that kind of heartbreak twice in such a short period of time is something no family ever expects. Through it all, Lilly became so much more than a funeral director. She became a source of comfort, strength, guidance, and genuine love during the darkest moments of our lives. From the very first meeting, Lilly treated our family as if we were her own. She carried us through every step of the process with incredible kindness, compassion, patience, and grace. Every detail was handled with such care and professionalism that we never had to worry about whether something had been overlooked. She anticipated our needs before we even knew what to ask, offered thoughtful advice when we felt lost, and communicated with us every step of the way. In the middle of overwhelming grief, she gave us peace of mind. What touched us most and something our family will never forget is that Lilly was actually on vacation during one of our funerals. Most people would have understandably stepped away, but not Lilly. She made sure she was there for us anyway. That speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. She didn't see us as just another family she was helping, she genuinely cared. Knowing that she chose to be there for us, despite being on her own personal time, meant more than words can express. It made us feel seen, supported, and deeply cared for during one of the hardest days of our lives. Lilly has a rare gift. She combines extraordinary professionalism with an even more extraordinary heart. She showed our loved ones the dignity and respect they deserved and showed our family endless compassion at a time when we could barely function. She cried with us, encouraged us, celebrated the lives of our loved ones with us, and somehow made an impossible process feel a little less heavy. By the end of these past few months, Lilly no longer felt like someone we met through tragedy she truly felt like part of our family. We will always remember her kindness, generosity, unwavering support, attention to detail, and the love she poured into helping us honor the people we lost. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Lilly. We will never forget everything you did for us. Cartwright Funeral Home is incredibly fortunate to have someone as exceptional as you. Anyone who has Lilly by their side during one of life's most difficult moments will be receiving the very best care imaginable.

We dealt with…read moreunprofessional and insensitive comments from staff, poorly printed prayer cards with blurry text, a lack of accountability when concerns were raised, and mistakes during the funeral service itself. Although the funeral home eventually agreed to refund and reprint the prayer cards, the overall lack of compassion, communication, and attention to detail made an already difficult time much harder. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Cartwright Funeral Home.
