The true act of kindness occurs when doing a service for someone without expectation of repayment…read more We suddenly found ourselves in Portland Maine this weekend, attending to the unexpected final illness and passing of our loved one. This is the second death our family has experienced in the last few months and costs are unfortunately, of great concern. We were looking for a simple cremation for our loved one and we met with BrIan Hahn at Jones, Rich and Barnes Funeral Home. We did not have an appointment and were only in town for a couple of days. Brian dropped everything to meet with us and although we were not able to use his company's services, he was generous, compassionate and thoughtful. He guided us to another service which was able to provide what we were looking for. We will always remember his kindness and generosity at this difficult time for our family.

We even had a last minute snafu regarding a party after the funeral at another location and they stepped in and helped us out with a room to conduct a small gathering of family and friends. I cannot express how much this organization made a difficult time and easy and smooth as possible. I highly recommend.

On a logistics note, the parking is great and the facilities are roomy and spotless.

A+ and thank you to the Hutchins team!

This was a great place to do business with ~9 years ago when my mother passed. They took care of…read moreeverything and weren't pushy and the price was reasonable. I called today to try and make similar arrangements and to pre-pay. When I tried to call (really that's where I started) , the most bizarre "voice" answered - pretty sure it was the world's worst AI. The AI claimed it couldn't hear me and hung up on me. I tried to call again and did get a human being but it was a callback service. I also tried filling out a form but that directed me to a sales person who wanted to know when to call. When I asked to speak with the same person I dealt with 9 years, they responded that no one is there from 9 years. Since we worked with the owner 9 years ago, that must mean Advantage was sold.
