There are some reviews that are easy to write, and then there are reviews like this one that come…read morefrom one of the hardest experiences imaginable. As professionals entrusted with arranging a memorial service for a young person in our care, we were searching for a funeral home that would treat this child (and everyone involved) with dignity, compassion, and respect. From the moment we walked into Prospect Memorial, we knew we had found exactly that. Kim welcomed us into a private space where we could gather our thoughts and discuss every detail without feeling rushed. She has a remarkable ability to make people feel seen and supported during unimaginable circumstances. Throughout the entire planning process, she met us with patience, kindness, and genuine empathy. We later learned that Kim's background as a nurse has clearly shaped the way she cares for families. Her compassion extends far beyond logistics. She thoughtfully guided us through decisions we never wanted to have to make, offering recommendations that honored this child's unique life and circumstances, including helping us find an appropriate cemetery and coordinating beautiful floral arrangements. What I'll remember most is the way Kim cared not only for the child we were honoring, but also for those of us carrying the responsibility of planning the service. She repeatedly reminded my colleagues and me that our hearts were in the right place and that our efforts mattered. Those words may seem small, but during an incredibly heavy time, they meant more than I can express. The service itself was beautiful. The funeral home is immaculate, modern, and thoughtfully designed, creating a peaceful environment for remembrance. Every member of the staff was attentive, respectful, and quietly ensured that everything unfolded seamlessly. They allowed us to focus on honoring this young life instead of worrying about the countless details behind the scenes. I sincerely hope I never find myself in a position where I need to plan another child's funeral. But if I ever need funeral services for a loved one, personally or professionally, I would not hesitate to return to Prospect Memorial. Kim and her entire team provided extraordinary care during one of the most difficult moments imaginable, and I will always be grateful for the compassion they showed to everyone involved. I hope this review conveys even a fraction of the gratitude we feel toward Kim and her team. They helped make an impossible task just a little more bearable, and that is something I'll never forget.

I attended a service at this funeral home. I was never so disappointed in a funeral home before the…read morestaff/owners were very cold and not friendly at all. The interior and setup of the service was very sloppy. Wasn't impressed at all! For a "supposedly" well knew name in Prospect Connecticut...I see it as a name doesn't mean nothing if the service isn't there. Would never recommend this funeral home for someone loved one.

On a recent trip to Connecticut to solve some family history mysteries we visited Grove Cemetery in…read moresearch of Doris who died in 1918. The historic cemetery was very well maintained and Kyle Sutherland, cemetery superintendent, was very helpful. With Kyle's help we found Doris in the family plot of her grandparents. She was just a surname on the map, no headstone. With the help of Kyle, Doris will have a headstone soon. The whole experience has been very easy and Kyle has answered questions we had in a timely manner. When the stone is finished he will install it. Thanks to Kyle future family history buffs will be able to find little Doris. Teri, GA

Who knew that cemeteries could be so full of life?! After a memorial service for my mother, my…read morefamily and I went on a tour of this charming, historic graveyard. The slabs range from the sixteen hundreds to the present, old Halloween-like headstones, their engravings eroded beyond recognition, grand obelisks, low stone walls defining family crypts that look like ruins of ancient houses and are populated helter skelter monuments of different sizes, shapes and styles, from huge crypts to six inch high slabs marking the graves of babies. In one area a bunch of witty scientists banter on their inscriptions: One lists the dead scholar's entire curriculum vita. The one next to it says more succinctly "Nobel Laureate, etc." as if to mock his colleague's pomposity. There are marble angels and beautiful sphinxes that seem to follow you with their eyes, and one gravestone that lists a man and his two wives - or a sister - - buried together. There are famous names: Eli Whitney, Glenn Miller, Charles Goodyear, Noah Webster, Lyman Beecher, father of Harriet Beecher Stowe, and prominent names, Trumbull, Goodrich, Baldwin. And there are really old gravestones moved from the New Haven Green when it was the town graveyard They lean against the stone wall that surrounds the cemetery. Wear comfortable shoes because you'll be walking down wooded paths.

First off: "Discount" is not a word to be applied to their services. $2850 for the least…read moreexpensive cremation. That is twice what I paid in New Britain for exactly the same services 2 years ago. Included in that fee is $500 to take the information to take your business. Know of any other business that charges to take your order? Secondly: Part of the service was to notify Social Security. After a second monthly check arrived I called Social Security to let them know of my mothers passing and this was the first they had heard about it. Now I have the additional hassle of giving SSA their money back. They get one star because there is no lower rating (a negative rating would otherwise be applied).
