When this funeral home sent people to collect her body from the home, they nearly dropped her on the way out of the house. The workers proceeded to laugh about it and recorded it in video, right in front of her family. The family's doorbell video caught this disgraceful act on camera. Avoid Larson's. Go to Lesko in Fairfield instead. Shameful.

It's tough, if not impossible, to write a review for a funeral home. Unfortunately, I am very…read morefamiliar with this establishment, as it's been the traditional mortuary for my family for over forty years. The facility was once located on Barnum Avenue, across from Holy Name Church, but moved to the present location about the time of the merger of the two separate businesses. While most people see the inside of the building, and never meet the proprietors, I had dealt on the business side a few times, making final arrangements, and found the experience to be comforting and professional. There are a lot of bittersweet memories that I acquired here, and I hope that others who need to turn to a service of this nature have the same experiences I've had.

When you are in the midst of grief it is reassuring to have a funeral director and home that cares about you and your family.

This is the fourth time in nearly 20 years that my family has used Shaughnessey-Banks funeral…read moreservices; my Dad, my brother, my Mom and, now, my 26-year-old son. 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.

Although it was a very difficult times for our family, Commerce Hill was extremely helpful during…read morethe entire process. It all started when a loved one passed on, late on a Friday night. Commerce Hill arrived within an hour and was extremely flexible in scheduling the planning the following day. David Dougiello was our mentor during the entire process and did an amazing job of accommodating our requests and taking care of every little detail. We were able to focus our entire energy on the family and helping each other grieve. David and the entire staff went above and beyond to explain everything, offered a no-pressure approach to making decisions that were best for our family, and took care of every little detail leading up to and including the funeral and burial. Thanks to everyone for the support. Please make sure you seek out David and work with him as he is trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly attentive to detail to help you through your difficult time.

I picked up my sister's ashes today and was met at the door by Chris Gee; he was as pleasant and…read morepersonable as he'd been during my very first meeting with him, and throughout the several times I had to meet or call for assistance. The process of cremation was new to both me and my youngest sister who was with me. Chris called Connecticut Hospice and arranged to transport my sister's body, even before we got to the facility. Once we arrived, he was patient and kind each time he explained something to us. He promptly returned each and every call I made to him. Our situation was unusual in that while my youngest sister and I were doing the planning of our loved one's service and cremation, she had left the insurance to two other relatives. Thus, Chris had to meet (at different times) with each of them, as well. He treated them with the same professionalism and genuine kindness that he showed my sister and me. Once arrangements were worked out; he was even understanding of my attention to every detail, and accommodated even the smallest request, such as making my deceased sister's eyebrows darker. In addition, she died with a terrible protrusion to her lower lip and I was very disturbed by it, but Chris assured me that they would be able to fix it, and they did; her lips looked just like they did when she was alive. And the makeup was perfect (excluding the eyebrows), and natural looking. Even during the service, when my hospitalized daughter asked us to see if she could Zoom into the service, Chris worked to make sure that she could. The only problem was the microphones, and today, when I visited, he had a guy working on that, just as I expected he would. He made a very difficult time so much easier for all four family member who met with him. His professionalism, amiableness, kindness, and understanding are very much appreciative. I recommend this place to all who are looking for someone warm like him, and for a spacious, spotless, and beautiful environment for their loved one's homegoing services, all at a highly reasonable cost.

Heartless funeral director at this location. Insisted on charging more than a mother could afford…read moreto bury her baby. Actually laughed at how much a nonprofit organization was willing to pay to help with the cost and said that the mother would just have to cremate "it". Taking decisions away from a mother who has already just had her world crushed. Just leave dead babies and their loss parents alone. Clearly out just to make a buck without a care. Wrong line of work for that.
