It wasn't done. 3) We requested to have the hearse ride past two homes that meant a great deal to Mom - and are a stone's throw from the cemetery. That wasn't done, either. There were other examples of half effort and lack of attention to detail. Overall, the level of service and care seems to have fallen far from where it used to be.

In that span of time, changes at the funeral home have been inevitable, but one thing that remains constant is how the staff delivers a professional, compassionate and unsurpassed level of service meant for royalty. Pam, Becky, Terese, and the rest of the staff attend to every detail and never fail to treat me like family. During my last ordeal, they wrapped around me with comfort and, in turn, made a devastating situation of the short-lived life of my son bearable. In fact, just knowing my son would initially arrive from out of state into Becky's blessed hands helped me in the earliest moments of our trauma. To this day, what also brings me great comfort is remembering how angelic and peaceful my son looked in an expertly and lovingly staged backdrop. I will always highly recommend this funeral home.

None had yet been put up when I was last there, but the rule has changed. So credit where due. Also, over the course of two different visits, I surveyed the entire cemetery and came across a great many familiar names. I found the grave of an Assumption classmate who died very untimely, in her mid 20s. Her mother later died within a short time of my father, and they were listed in "The Westport News" obits together. There were many other likely parents and other relatives of people I went to school with somewhere in Westport. I came across a few former teachers as well. Sadly, a couple of people in my age group appear to have lost siblings, as I have. There's also plenty of names synonymous with Westport. My mother went to Assumption Church in Westport, but she and my father chose to be interred at Willowbrook Cemetery (5 stars). Sadly I had to arrange interment for my older sister, and placed her at the Mountain Grove Cemetery in Bridgeport (4 stars). Assumption Cemetery does not compare favorably to these, but I have found visiting can be enjoyable and rewarding. With more grandeur being allowed for headstones, it could yet become better.
