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.

The two guys that work there are very nice and do their best but 2 people, no budget to maintain the cemetery and 35 acres, it is amazing the cemetery is not in worse shape! It is the only cemetery I know of where people have to bring their own weed wackers and mowers to maintain the area around their loved ones plot. Otherwise, the wild grass is about mid calf until the 2 guys working there are able to get to it. I have had to lay down multiple bags of top soil and grass that the Canadian geese ate up (not the fault of the cemetery). For anyone that died from 2010 forward, no grass has been put down but rather nature puts down cloves and crab grass so you can see the outlines of where the hole was dug for the coffin.. A depressing sight if you have a loved one buried there. For a middle class to upper class town, the cemetery looks like a pauper's cemetery. There are very few trees or plantings here; it is designed to simply minimize upkeep. As a lifelong Hanover resident, it is baffling why no tax money is allocated toward making the cemetery look nice, especially given the fact that it is so high profile in the center of Hanover.

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.

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.

Lola and her team had every detail covered. The amenities and services provided to our loved one and our visitors made the experience exceptional at this time of sorrow.

Hamel did their due diligence by driving out to the cemetery and our funeral route in preparation for the day of the funeral.

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.
