After my husband passed we met with John at the Brick location. He not only answered our many questions he made suggestions of items that we had not considered. I can't thank everyone at O'Briens enough for all their assistance. Everything at the viewing, church and at the cemetery went so well. Anything that I asked was done and done immediately. I have been reading the Grief suggestions online and find them very helpful. Thank you so much.

During one of the most difficult times our family has ever faced, Bill and the entire team at the funeral home were nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first conversation, Bill showed genuine compassion, patience, and care. He guided us through every step with such calm reassurance, making an overwhelming and emotional process feel manageable and far less stressful. The entire staff was professional, kind, and attentive, always anticipating our needs and handling every detail with grace. The wake and funeral service were beautiful and truly honored my dad in a way that felt personal, respectful, and meaningful. It was clear how much thought and care went into every aspect of the service. We will always be grateful for how Bill and his team supported our family during this time. Their compassion and dedication made all the difference, and we couldnt have asked for better people to help us say goodbye to someone we loved so deeply.

My family has been using Weatherhead Youngs services for generations now, at least 30 years. Jim and his staff are nothing short of spectacular. They dont talk down to you or push you into a sale you dont want or need. Kind, compassionate and caring would be how i describe Weatherhead Young.

Wayne, Tom, Eric, and the staff at Colonial are incredible. They are professional, compassionate, and detailed oriented. Wayne listened and addressed all my mothers wishes and concerns in planning my fathers funeral. He then executed everything perfectly. In a difficult time- everyone needs a Wayne in their corner.

I assisted my mother in law with planning my father in laws funeral. We were expecting it to be quite the challenge, running around all day for several days in advance to check everything off the list. Eric and the team at Colonial Funeral Homes took care of nearly everything; after one 30 minute appointment everything was done aside from printing out personal photos to put around the room. Not only did they make the planning easy, but on the day of the team at the funeral home were amazing. They were very kind, caring, and attentive to our familys needs. They were there to advocate for us and guide us every step of the way. I couldnt recommend this funeral home more. Having that said- hopefully my family wont be seeing them again anytime soon. Thank you to Eric and the team for such a stress free and lovely funeral service. You all went above and beyond for us.

Planning end of life services is never fun but Eric made the process easy and convenient after a long couple of difficult weeks as our mother passed in hospice care. He responded quickly to our call, set up an appointment right away and heard us out on exactly what we wanted. So Thankful we chose Colonial and Eric's help.

Can't thank the wonderful, caring and knowledgeable staff of Ocean Funeral Home enough. They guided me through the terrible ordeal of losing a loved one with empathy and strength. I was a little intimidated at first when I saw the Jewish Chapel signage as we are Christian but quickly came to understand that it is a multi-faith establishment and they made us very comfortable. Beautiful decorated facility with a dining and open seating area that allowed people wander/mingle and see the posterboards of photos and various memorabilia we had provided. Jamie the funeral director went above and beyond displaying all our items and made sure we made a smooth transition from viewing to clergy eulogy. The Pastor Tommy Miles gave a beautiful service which was very touching. I want to thank each and everyone from Ocean Funeral Home and Dignity Memorial they really helped me and my family through the most difficult circumstances.

I had a particular setting in mind because sadly I lost both of my dogs within three months and wanted two stones set together. Katharine was so incredibly kind and helpful and communicated with me every step of the process of making my stones and giving me all the information my jeweler needed to create the setting. During such a sad time Katharine was so sweet and caring and did the most amazing job on my stones. They are absolutely beautiful. I just got my ring back from the jeweler today and couldnt wait to show her. I cannot recommend highly enough.
