My wife recently passed away and I chose Fowler Kennedy as our funeral home. I did this with…read morelittle consideration beyond proximity to my house. I dealt directly with Matthew, the owner, and he could not have been more professional or nicer. He was always responsive and able to help me out with a responsibility that was completely unfamiliar to me. The job they did was nothing short of phenomenal. They took a collection of pictures I provided (electronically via Google Drive if that matters) and made not only the usual video collage but also a blanket, a jigsaw puzzle, a printed collage board and, the one that garnered the mot comments, this folding memento of my wife. The visitors to my wife's Wake were all so touched and pleased by the job Fowler Kennedy had done that they couldn't stop talking about. I know this review is bizarre in the context of reviewing a funeral home but I'm hoping that somebody who was in the same boat I was in a little over a week ago will read this.

My mother was to be buried out of state, next to my father, so the arrangements were understandably complex.

We are most grateful to Matt and his team for their professionalism and support.

Frank Joyce and his team at Joyce Funeral Home took tremendous care of my elderly mother in making…read moreand handling arrangements on my father's sudden passing - starting on the Sunday my father passed away, with Frank returning my call that very day. He met with my mother, myself, and another sibling for over 4 hours the next day to obtain the information needed and help my mother decide on her preferences. To be clear, not that much time was needed - but Frank listened attentively and caringly to our various stories and shared some of his own. From our meeting, Frank obtained enough information to put together a lovely draft obituary, which we then augmented. He patiently provided advice and guidance regarding the services to be held and the practicalities. Frank made everything easy - he provided a google drive link for us to upload photos, which his team turned into a video slideshow and digital banner for the wake, collage poster boards for the wake, pages in the guest book, etc. - however, he also offered to scan hard copy photos (even in frames) if that was all we had. They handled everything - even ordering the thank you notes - and it was all lovely - and were thoughtful of my mother's and the family wishes and added comforting touches (for example, arranging for the donation of particularly large flower displays post-service). When the date we selected for the funeral service conflicted with a mass that all (active) priests in the parish were required to attend, Frank reached out to a retired priest he knows to handle the service. I cannot say enough good things about Frank and Joyce Funeral Home.

He is not a dress up person and was supposed to be wearing something casual. They put him in a suit which was not what he wanted. On the day of the wake/funeral I arrived and none of the staff greeted me. Eventually when someone showed up it was to take my coat and then disappeared. When my brothers set it up we were supposed to have two of us do eulogies as well as a priest. They did a horrible job before the wake started and didn't introduce themselves or ask about the family. (Just ushered them in the room where my Dad was and I was already in there and spent the whole wake. When it came time for the eulogies and the priest, the priest was the only one who introduced himself and asked things about my Dad. The priest did an amazing job summing up my Dads life and blessing him. After that someone came in (Remember NOBODY from Keefe even introduced themselves.) came in and announced the service was over and to head outside for the procession to the cemetery. Then to make matters worse they didn't have the family members go first, they just waved everyone on. At the cemetery they didn't even tell everyone where to pull up and park. Again the person from Keefe just announced the priest was going to do a quick prayer and announced where we were going afterward. So unprofessional and I will never use or recommend this place to anyone. So unprofessional and uncaring. My Dads final day was horrible. Wish I could give zero stars.

In the case of my cousin, who died unexpectedly in his 30s, the tragedy was even greater. The circumstances and logistics involved in arranging for a very small friends and family gathering were significantly more complex, but Timothy, Keefe, and the entire team at Keefe Funeral Home went above and beyond to support our family. My only face-to-face contact was with Timothy, and all I can say is what a delightful, authentic and truly warm and caring individual. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for an extraordinary funeral home.

I had gone in months prior to prep with my sister but by the time it happened they remembered my choices & had them ready to confirm no changes. My sister was worried about costs so had opted to remove some options & they worked with us within budget. (My mother passed from Cancer and her insurance did not cover the private care we covered out of pocket so she wanted to ensure we did not get into more debt.) The option for wake from 3-7 was ideal on a Sunday night and Church at 11. My mother passed on Thursday but Arlington cemetery requires 2 days for which they originally said they were not going to accommodate us with burial Monday. Timothy drove down there to talk to a manager and was able to get us Monday after all. I wish I had taken all names of those that partook in our Wake & funeral services but Id like to whole heartily thank them all for such class & service. Everything was organized and not one hiccup for a loss we were not ready for at any age! Thanks again Tim, and everyone who was part of our mothers services - stellar support and true professionals. Our family would not recommend any other funeral home for such a delicate time and you need full coordination. God Bless you all
