Operated by the City of Hartford, Cedar Hill Cemetery is part of the rural cemetery tradition that…read moreis more like a park setting similar to Mount Auburn in Cambridge MA and Père Lachaise in Paris https://www.yelp.com/biz/cimetière-du-père-lachaise-paris-5?hrid=0swvuhnp976JYaYlYxznxg. 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!

Words cannot explain how upset I am. Went to have a burial at Cedar Hil on 6/24/25, where the…read moreFamily already has a plot. 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.

Noah Webster's (author of the Merriam-Webster dictionary) parents is buried there. The last burial was in 1971. The cemetery is fenced in and there is a historical maker in the front sidewalk area. There were large trees and very old headstones; some of which has degraded over time. The oldest grave is from 1722 and there are approximately 155 graves. If you're a fan of history and spooky things, I recommend a visit!

Please do not use this place for your loved one. I'm so sad I brought my mama here…read more They advertise that they take title 19. But once my mom was there they refused to process the paperwork. They basically held my mom hostage until I gave them my own credit card. I called another funeral Parkorand they said yes. They would put the process thru. But it was too late. They refused to return my money and move my mom. Her nursing home now has 1200 sitting in limbo because per state. The funeral parlor needed to request this money. They stopped returning my calls. It was the one last thing I could have done for my mom and I took her to a bunch of crooks. I'm sorry mama

Manchester Funeral Home provided outstanding service for my mothers recent funeral. They assisted…read morewith a comprehensive pre-plan that made things easier when the time came for her funeral.

The folks at this funeral home were so very nice. The payment wasn't their concern, of course they…read moreare a business so I was shocked to even hear them say "we trust our community". They were more concerned about making sure that my aunt was laid to rest the way she wanted and also made sure to keep me in the loop about the whole process, step-by-step. Honestly, the price may have been a little more than I expected but given the service, the quality of humans working at the funeral, worth every penny. I have been to funeral homes that dont even give condolences and the first words out of their mouth is " did your relative have insurance?". Tierney Funeral Home is NOT this type of business. They really care about those that have lost loved ones and go the extra mile to make sure everything is taken care of. The money part, is secondary to the loss. THANK GOODNESS for them! My mind couldn't even process the death much less the payment for closing out a life I didn't expect to lose for many many years to come. Thank you Heather! Thank you Zach! You both made this horrible event a little brighter because of your compassion, understanding, thoughtfulness, and kindness. Putting my pain first before anything else really made me feel better in the moment. I appreciate you all at Tierney and will always recommend your funeral home to those I love and trust.

We are so lucky we found these guys (https://cthorsecremation.com/). They arrived before she was put down, and waited quietly for everything to happen, and only when we were ready, brought in their custom made trailer, and treated our friend with the utmost respect. Their trailer is amazing... they only pick up one horse, it has a built in crane, and they gently lifted her into the trailer and into a plastic creche. All done in 5 minutes. And true to form, they delivered her cremains to my daughter early the next week. If you are in the same position, of having to respectfully deal with your loved ones remains, do not hesitate to talk to this team. So impressed.

Friends had told me about Connecticut Horse Cremation several months ago and I kept their phone number nearby. Debbie, at CT Horse Cremation totally removed any anxiety or stress that usually accompanies having a long time pet/companion euthanized. By far the most compassionate service I have ever dealt with. CT Horse Cremation is a wonderful, much needed, reasonably priced family owned business. Thank you so much for doing what you do. PLEASE...don't go "corporate!"

I did have a few issues with the service. Her obituary had two misspellings that I had to call about (She even wrote some of it) so I know she wouldn't misspell her maiden name or my name. Confusion in the posting of visitation and service which I think are one in the same. Visitation 4-6 Service 5-TBD was posted. Family was told 4-8 some family weren't able to come pay their respects and we were told at 6:45 the service had ended. Some of us were confused and that we were rushed out. When you are grieving confusion isn't something anyone wants to deal with.

As with the previous reviewer - this was my first (and unfortunately not last) time planning a wake…read moreand funeral for my recently departed mother. Being the planner that I am - I had gone to O'Brien previously to check out the facility and start pricing out items and found them to be the best of those that I visited. Burying a loved one is never easy and I was not looking for the place where I could only get the most "bang for my buck". I was looking for a place that would take the same care and love of my mom that she took of me while I was growing up and I felt she deserved after her passing. I worked closely with Paige, the funeral director, who although she looks young - took the time and consideration to go over all the details with my brother and I multiple times and answer our countless questions. When planning a wake and funeral - it is a mad dash to put it mildly - you are grieving but there are all these moving parts that have to be put in place in a short period of time. We were luck to have Paige, and the entire staff of O'Brien Funeral Home with us during the entire process. They helped tailor the wake to truly honor her and make the day of the funeral as seamless as possible - snow and all.
