Mc Kenna-Ouellette Funeral Home

Not a review you want to write because loosing a loved one is terrible but when a funeral home exceeds expectations and makes the process manageable for you its worth noting. I lost my mother this past Sept, one of her last requests was to call around to funeral homes to get pricing. This was very on brand for mom so I honored her request. She gave me a few names and I made some calls. Not only was Katie the easiest to talk to and sympathetic, her quote was fair and transparent. Other homes, when I had sticker shock, said they could offer discounts if we had financial difficulty. I hated that there are different prices based on reaction. Katies quote was the quote and all the services offered were the same. Beyond being the most reasonable, they were very accessible when questions inevitably arose. There is nothing easy about making funeral arrangements, even when things have been discussed in advance, but easing some of the burden with sensitivity and kindness cannot be measured.

They were absolutely thorough, thoughtful and professional. Very caring and attentive in all of their work. A special thanks to Mike and Ron. I would highly recommend them.

Katie, I wanted to plant trees in my Moms memory and was surprised to see that option not available on her obituary. I believe you used to have that option. No? I used it before for other family members and friends. Please know that some of us like to think that when someone in our lives passes on, that trees are growing in their name in a forest that truly needs them, due to unsustainable clearing practices or todays many large scale fires. Some of us really do take great comfort in knowing that our family and friends continue to live on in the form of an oak tree, with wildlife all around, benefitting from that tree for food, shelter and a place to raise their young. So in death our loved ones continue to make the planet a better place for all who remain behind. Please give us that option. Patricia Russell
