The State requires each funeral home list their prices publicly, but it's always nice to see the facility and meet the people. The person we met with was very pleasant and professional. We were not given an opportunity to see caskets to 'pick' one, but a quote was worked up using a price range. The facility offers a package for services such as prayer cards, memorial book and such for an additional fee. We were also told if the funeral service is at the funeral home, there is a one hour viewing available before the service at no additional fee, vs. just the viewing, which has it's own fee structure. It's all broken down: preparation, casket, viewing, transport, graveside and so on. There's a lot to know about funerals and I do recommend you pre-plan so you know what to expect. In the end we did not choose Carrier for a couple of reasons. The first is it felt as if we had to pull information out of the person assisting us. For example, we now know the State of NH requires some kind of grave liner. During our discussions it sounded as if a liner was a 'negotiable' item that could be eliminated to save money. It is not. The second is they don't use a 'trust' to hold the money you pre-pay, they sell you an insurance policy for the amount you put down and then each time you add money they add an insurance rider to that policy. Some of the staff here are also insurance brokers. We weren't comfortable with this business practice. Funeral arrangements are much better made with a clear mind instead of during the chaos of grief and loss. I cannot recommend enough that everyone at the very least know what the expenses are and make an effort to have a plan in place to ease that most difficult of life experiences for their loved ones.

We had to ask everything instead of being guided from beginning to end, with some compassion for my grieving family. His attitude was the clincher. When I expressed my frustration he literally rolled his eyes at me. I got up & walked out. When I emailed & my brother called to speak to the owner, as I refused to allow this guy to continue with the arrangements, another funeral director intervened. The owner never contacted us over our concerns or to apologize for his employee's rude behavior. We needed support and compassion not a jerk who makes $ off of people's death! Not one bit impressed with this funeral home.

He originally passed away in NC and had services there, but he is from this area, and wanted to be interred here with his wife. Having never planned anything to do with a funeral before, I was unsure how the process worked. I worked with Jennifer. She was very personable, professional and caring. I did not have to micro-manage her like I usually have to do in today's times when dealing with other businesses. Everything was taken care of perfectly and professionally. Today was the interment, and she took the time to talk to me afterwards. I didn't feel rushed through the process, which i really appreciated. I hope I never have to again, but realizing death is a natural part of life, I would certainly use the Dracut Funeral Home again for any services in the future. They allowed me to finally have closure. Thank you Dracut Funeral Home and Jennifer.

My friend Jodi lost her mother last year and shared her experience on Facebook about receiving a…read morecremation bead and suncatcher from Vangie. I thought they were beautiful, but put them out of my mind...until a few months later. In February, I unexpectedly lost my mother as well. I reached out to my friend and decided to honor my mom in the same way she had. I ordered two suncatchers (one for me and my sister) and a bead for my charmed memories bracelet. To say I am pleased would be the biggest understatement of my life. I'm not going to lie, gathering the ashes for the beads was hard, I cried and ended up having my boyfriend do it for me, but when I received the items back, I cried tears of joy. They are simply the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever seen. Vangie is a true artist. She takes the time to not only do quality work, but to listen to you about your loved one, to find out who they actually were. My mom, myself...to Vangie, we weren't just a "customer", she cares about the people she works with, and it truly shows in the quality of her work. I plan on getting beads for my fur babies when they pass away and will be telling everyone I come across about my wonderful experience with Vangie. She is a true angel. My mom's memory is being honored everytime I see the light hit my suncatcher!

Vangie met with me, and asked me questions about my dog. She wanted to get a feel for who she was to me and exactly what she meant to me to me and my family. Vangie also asked for picture of her so she could look at her while creating my cremation beads. I asked Vangie to make me a pendant, a suncatcher, and a pandora compatible bead. All three items are so beautiful and well crafted. Vangie is really an angel right here on earth. Her sincerity and compassion spills into her work, it is in each an every piece I have had made. We have since lost another beloved pet and returned to Vangie for more beads. The amount of comfort the beads and pendants give me is unmeasurable but i have to say the suncatchers are my most favorite works of art. On a sunny day, the beams of light come through those sun catchers and little spots of light dance across my walls, it is almost as if thier spirits have come back home to play! It warms my heart and soul to have these beads and to have had the pleasure of meeting Vangie.
