Once again, after losing a close relative last October, we are appreciative of the professional manner that the arrangements for our cousin were planned and perfectly executed by SHB.

Driven by this location many time was pretty surprised by the ease of getting in and getting out as the funeral was promptly after the business day concluded. There were ushers helping us park cars as it was a large gathering from in and out of state that was here to bid farewell to a friend and family. The lot was pretty tight yet served us well as I didn't have to fight for a spot and was heading inside. The staircase leading upstairs from the lot that I had parked was beautiful, though we all were dressed in black attire. Two different rooms for seating and the bigger room held the casket and visitors came to pay their respects. A decently sizes funeral home that some had to squeeze by others while there was still areas for groups to congregate. I imagine that a lot of thought and preparation was put into honoring this man and this funeral home did him justice. Cannot speak to the procession the day after to the cemetery as I couldn't attend but I imagine thar it was well organized and handle the business of the Elmwood West Hartford area.

They are very accommodating and readily available by phone or email as we needed them the week leading up to the services, and even afterwards. Couldn't recommend a funeral home in the area more than this one.

Many walkways and roadways throughout the park, lots of trees and grass. Definitely a park. At the entrance, you can pick up brochures for the visitors guide and a cell phone audio tour. The sections are reasonably numbered and I did not have too much trouble finding the resting places I wanted to see. Katherine Kepburn, Samuel & Elizabeth Colt, Thomas Gallaudet, JP Morgan and Thomas Brownell. Of course, many other non-celebrities are laid to rest here. Cedar Hill is an active cemetery with ongoing burials and memorials. Please be respectful of those who are visiting their relatives. And of course, please don't litter - bring your trash with you!

When we get there, the Cemetary people brought us to the incorrect plot. I tried several times to tell the Funeral Employees that we were at the wrong spot, they finally realized the problem. Some Idiot in the Cemetary Office "transposed" the numbers where the plot was. Even the people who dug the grave did not check if it was correct. This is an embarrassment to not just the Funeral home, but also the Family. The person in the Office did not do a very good job, and needs to be spoken to, and their worked checked. The Family will not pay twice to the Cemetary.

An interesting cemetery: beautiful, peaceful, and big…read more It's hard to get a sense of it, with the curved roads and slopes spotted with markers. If you take time to wander, there are hidden surprises not visible except on foot. In one section are several tall statues and crosses set in a circle but the circle is only noticeable when you're in it. It was weird, but it was a little "stonehenge-y". Probably not the best analogy for a Catholic cemetery, but with the large volume of Irish surnames here, the reference probably isn't too far off. It's really a beautiful cemetery and with an extraordinary variety of headstones: Huge, medium, small, ornate, engraved, simple and basic. In a part where it appeared as untouched ground, there are in-ground stones. It wasn't until I was walking to get a closer look at something else, I realized it. Across the grass, the tableau of the crucifixion breaks the view. It really is a fascinating cemetery likely befitting the community in which it is located.

Sebastian jump in the situation and told us "HE CANT STOP WHAT HE,she, it , THEY WAS DOING TO CALL DAWNS SUPERVISOR" WOW, 2 months waiting and a trip from Bristol to Bloomfield for the same answer "Dawn will call you back" NO CALL AT ALL, still waiting.
