Andrea, Jesse and her team define the word compassion and bend over backwards to make sure everything is taken care of perfectly. Any issues that may arise, i.e. schedule changes, etc., are all handled the same way. As Andrea will say "not a problem", or "we'll take care of that". The facility inside and out is absolutely gorgeous. I cannot recommend them more highly.

This historic cemetery is located behind the Avon Congregational Church in Avon, CT. We had ice…read morecream at Dom's Creamery and stumbled upon it. It is also adjacent to a couple of parking lots. It looked very historic and kind of small. I did an online search and the oldest grave belongs to Joseph Bird who was born in 1678 and died in 1729. There were all types of gravestones; there were many tall obelisks to thin decrepit ones. Some were family plots because it was essentially fenced in by a boundary marker. If you're into history and cemeteries, this place is worth a quick visit, if you're in the area.

Old names in an…read moreold town The East Avon Cemetery is located right behind the old Avon Congregational Church in the center of town. Not a really large graveyard but it does have some interesting stones and memorials. There are some obelisks that were so popular in the mid 1800s and some other rather large and massive memorials but nothing really on a grand or opulent scale. Many of the gravestones date back to the early and mid 19 century and have unique and very cool designs on them. Considering the age and weather conditions many of the stones are in surprisingly good shape. If you look closely it is possible to read many of the old names and little epitaphs and a lot of the names will be familiar to anyone knowledgeable about the town's history. A cool little graveyard that takes you back in Avon's past.

I…read morehave been to 4 funerals here in the last 8 years (the last being only a week ago) and each and every time I am back I am reminded of how loving, caring, and open the employees and owners of this funeral parlor are. From the second you walk in as a guest the staff here is waiting with open arms to make this experience as easy and stress-less as possible. I believe he is one of the owners, but Ryan has personally helped a great deal with all arrangements and made these sad days a little less hard on everyone with how much help he has been. Just wanted to leave a review and thank the amazing staff at the DuPont Funeral Home for all the work they do.

You can tell that Ryan is passionate about what he does and helping families in such a critical time of their lives is what he strives for. He is patient and kind and he makes sure that you are comfortable during arrangements. He will go above and beyond to make sure you leave knowing that he will have everything taken care of. Robert, Diane, and Ryan along with the rest of the staff are wonderful and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with this funeral home.

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.

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.

When I 1st googled funeral homes, I checked out a few different options, but only Dignity had a perfect rating, and I now personally know why. They have been exceptional from the very beginning and still after it was all done. The people that work there are some of the most wonderful people I had the pleasure of meeting. One in particular, has been a huge support, went above and beyond, helped me and my family feel comfortable, and has personally made me feel like we were old friends. She is amazing, beautiful and great at what she does. There is also a gentleman there that is a fellow Yankees fan, who was non-stop on top of things, making sure what needed to get done, was done. Thank you Dignity Memorial for all you have done for me, my family, and my Dad in Heaven. Thank you!

Driven by this location many time was pretty surprised by the ease of getting in and getting out as the funeral was promptly after the business day concluded. There were ushers helping us park cars as it was a large gathering from in and out of state that was here to bid farewell to a friend and family. The lot was pretty tight yet served us well as I didn't have to fight for a spot and was heading inside. The staircase leading upstairs from the lot that I had parked was beautiful, though we all were dressed in black attire. Two different rooms for seating and the bigger room held the casket and visitors came to pay their respects. A decently sizes funeral home that some had to squeeze by others while there was still areas for groups to congregate. I imagine that a lot of thought and preparation was put into honoring this man and this funeral home did him justice.
