Mary, in the office, and Felix, cemetery supervisor, are delightful. They are very accommodating and make it as easy as possible to do business with them. The cemetery is beautifully maintained and manicured. As you enter the cemetery there is a historic stone church. To the right of the church is a bulletin board with contact names and numbers for cemetery personnel plus a price listing. To the right of the church is a columbarium with marble benches that is very serene. It is topped by a beautiful bronze statue of a lady holding flowers. Around the top of the columbarium is the engraving "Do not weep for me. I am not gone. My soul is in a better place." Past the columbarium is a section dedicated to veteran burials. During major patriotic holidays flags are placed on each veteran's grave and during Christmas season Wreaths Across America places a wreath on each one. It's a very moving and sobering sight to see all the flags and wreaths. Past the office there's a section of half plots for interring cremated remains.

They listen, actually listen to what you have to say and follow through with your wishes. No price gouging, honest, above board and yes, I'll say it again - kind and caring. I felt as if I had known them for many years, instead of just meeting at the loss of my husband. Every service was done to perfection. We need more people like the Keysers. I would count them now as friends and would be more than happy if they were family members.

We did not pre-plan with them and they were able to accommodate us perfectly and as if they had always been working with our family.

This is Torsone, in Poughkeepsie, on Mill Street…read more I never thought I would be writing a review for a funeral home. However, three years ago we lost our father in a house fire. This was devastating to say the least. John and his staff handled everything with dignity, respect, sensitivity, compassion and ease needed in the difficult area of death. We never felt rushed, pressured and John took his time with us and explained everything in clear detail. A very honest man. Unfortunately, I lost my brother suddenly last week. There was no hesitation in our minds who we would choose to take care of my brother. John who is very detail oriented, patient, kind and very professional was there for us. We are extremely thankful for the services he and his staff provided. Thank you John and staff. Krystyna Soltysiak

I wouldn't consider going anywhere other than McHoul Funeral Home…read more At an obviously very difficult time, the owners treated us with sensitivity and wonderful empathy. Doug was a thorough communicator, and handled our father's full arrangements including coordinating with the state of Florida where my dad passed away. The process was not a simple one, yet it was all handled seamlessly, down to the last detail (including military honors). All of this made our family's grieving process easier knowing that we didn't need to worry. I'd recommend them without hesitation. The McHoul's have deep roots in the Hudson Valley and a solid reputation. Now more than ever do I understand why that's the case. I write this with appreciation to the McHoul Family -- Thank you for making something that was extremely painful, just a bit easier for all of us. Ann Meagher

Upon coming into the building, no one was there (from the funeral home) directing us to sign the guest book or welcoming us. The guest sign in book was out of the way (after viewing the coffin) I think the funeral home should have had a sign with the deceased name -birthdate and passing date etc - at the entrance. On the plus side -it seemed pretty clean. No weird smells. A water dispenser and plenty of tissues. All of the prayer cards were laminated, which was a plus. The funeral home I used most recently, near my home, only gave us 20 laminated cards.
