I have gone through this process before with extended family members, and the way he cared for my mother still leaves me speechless. He made such a painful transition feel as comforting and peaceful as possible. No matter how many times we called, he answered with patience, compassion, and reassurance that helped keep our family calm during an incredibly difficult time. I would never wish this kind of loss on anyone, but if you ever find yourself needing these services, I wholeheartedly recommend them. Their care, compassion, and professionalism truly make a difference and go a long way.

My father passed away suddenly and I live in Las Vegas while he was in Milford. I contacted Joe…read moreand he was compassionate, kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. He handled every step of the process for my family. He communicated throughout the process via email, text, calls etc. he answered all of our questions and never once asked for payment. This was by far one of the hardest things to do as a daughter and without Joe's help and kindness I couldn't have done it. Not to mention he went over and above to ship me additional items from the hospital.

We selected Watson Colonial Funeral Home to take care of my mother's cremation and arrangements…read more We selected them mostly because they have been in business for 150 years and I figured they must be good. I could not have been more pleased with our decision. Dwight, the owner of Watson Colonial, was very sympathetic and compassionate. Dwight kindly spelled out everything that he would and could do for us, and he gave us so much information on what we needed to do on our own after his piece was done. After providing us with all possible options as to all his services, Dwight gave us dignified space to make our own decision for what we wanted. I would highly recommend Watson Colonial Funeral Home in your time of need and grief.

Keefe Chesmore and Andrea Chesmore and their staff were amazing. They thought of every detail and…read moreguided my family at every step of the way for my mother's services. Someone was available to me whenever I had a question, and they had answers for questions that I did not know I had until they brought it up. After all, most of us don't do this stuff every day and depend on these professionals to guide us during these difficult moments. Also, the floral arrangements were very important to me as my mother was an avid gardener. They recommended Debra's Flowers, also in Holliston, who created stunning and unique arrangements which I then came to understand are only delivered to the funeral home. Keefe's team actually places all of the floral arrangements after delivery. They used these unique arrangements to make it look like Mom was sleeping in a summer garden. It was perfect. Also, speaking of Mom sleeping. She had been suffering from Alzheimer's for years. In recent months the illness really affected her appearance. We were stunned at how they were able to present Mom looking like herself again. We all felt that we were in good hands from start to finish.

When you suffer bereavement, a funeral for a member of your family or close friend can be one of the most difficult days of your life. Everything your family and friends ever thought about a loved one is expressed on that day. We recognize that a funeral is a meaningful event.

There is no more stressful period for a loved one than that encountered after a death occurs. In making funeral arrangements we work closely with you to ensure that the services are personal.

It is a time of gathering to grieve, share memories and experiences, and reflect on a unique life. We believe that as part of the community, a foundation is laid where it is our primary objective and responsibility to perform a superior service for all the families we serve.

Our local one came in with the cheapest cremation costs. A friend recommended Casper and it was almost half the cost from what our family funeral home quoted us. That was with a discount as well! I called Casper about 2 months beforehand and they were very detailed and provided all the info that was needed. I had multiple phone calls with them and they were able to assist me even though I was in California. I mostly spoke with Jake and Colton during this process. When I arrived Saturday was the only day I could go down and we had a snowstorm the day prior. Roads were pretty bad and they were able to accommodate me even though they had a service going on. Parking can be a nightmare there, I parked a few blocks away near a barber shop. I would recommend this place to everyone!! I was truly blown away by their service and empathy.
