Following my mother's recent passing, we once again turned to John Zaleski and his wonderful staff. My mother had passed away at home, and from the moment John and his colleague arrived to receive her, they were incredibly caring and sympathetic, giving us immediate peace of mind. During the arrangement process, John was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable right away. He also created a wonderful video of family photos for the wake, which gave our friends and family a sweet visit to the past. I want to extend a huge thank you to John, Millie, and staff, and to Sue for her exceptional attention to detail. The funeral home itself has such a warm and peaceful energy, and there is always someone available to answer questions or provide assistance. From the planing to the burial, the entire staff provided the utmost care for our family. I would highly recommend Wakelee Memorial. They provide the caring assistance needed during such a difficult time.

By the way, while we were sitting in his office a customer came in who wanted to pay him for a little pet headstone he had made & Ned told him not to worry about, it was just a little thing. Nice!

Recently we had a service for my mother and once again, they went above and beyond to make an incredibly difficult time as easy as possible. My family and I worked with Angie to arrange the service, and she was professional, attentive and empathetic. She provided me with her personal contact information and made herself available at any time to answer questions and help to navigate all of the final directives. She not only provided recommendations for the services, she personalized everything to tribute my mother, down to florist recommendations. Angie, I can not thank you enough for guiding us through such a difficult time and providing us with a perfect experience. I know my mother would have loved everything, and she could be very difficult to please.

They didn't charge for services and wouldn't take a dime over the price of the urn, which means they paid for the paperwork fees themselves, but they treated us like we were spending top $. But the 5 stars are not for the free service, but for being amazingly accommodating and thoughtful; Cliff even offered to bring the remains of my son home, so we wouldn't have to go over there again. They know we don't have any family here, so their fantastic service was not motivated by the prospect of future business.

My only issue was with the necklaces I purchased from them that were supposed to carry my father's ashes. We went back to purchase two necklaces and Mike took the necklaces into the back to "fill them" with my father's ashes. With all the grieving, afterwards we realized we didn't bring my fathers ashes with us when we purchased the necklaces. Mike told us they had some of my fathers "leftover" ashes in the back??!!! Which leads me to wonder, whose ashes are really in the necklaces I purchased??!!

The parking lot is very large- if it gets full, there is a side street that allows extra parking. The home itself is very clean, spacious, private, and welcoming.

He bad mouthed his own family in front of us. They had a very small TV for the video, there was paint peeling from the furniture in the home, especially the post in front of the casket. It smelled like an "old home". The Director left his 20 year old son in charge of the Calling Hour Service, we had over 300 people come through and the boy was no help at all. The day of the services, he was a completely rude to my family. He must have under estimated the services, because he made up charges such as delivering flowers to Hospice, multiple newspapers ads and cosmetic services to the tune of $1200. In the end, the Funeral Director was a bully, he was very disrespectful to a new widow. Seriously, who does that?

Commerce Hill arrived within an hour and was extremely flexible in scheduling the planning the following day. David Dougiello was our mentor during the entire process and did an amazing job of accommodating our requests and taking care of every little detail. We were able to focus our entire energy on the family and helping each other grieve. David and the entire staff went above and beyond to explain everything, offered a no-pressure approach to making decisions that were best for our family, and took care of every little detail leading up to and including the funeral and burial. Thanks to everyone for the support. Please make sure you seek out David and work with him as he is trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly attentive to detail to help you through your difficult time.

There is a children's room for the kids to play during services which was perfect for the kids. We felt that the kids should be present at the services, but we're able to get away if they wanted. We have been using them as "Our" funeral home for years, and wouldn't consider anyone else. His assistant (I'm pretty sure his name is Joe) went way out of his way to make sure my mom was able to get in and out of the funeral home, into the limo at church and cemetery during the funeral. David always makes us feel like part of his family, not just another family who lost a family member. We had a lot of requests, and they met EVERY SINGLE one, with a smile! I Highly recommend East Haven Memorial to anyone who loses a family member, they are professional, respectful, knowledgeable and treat you like part of their family. 5 star!!
