The woman who directed everything (I don't know if she's a mortician or what her title is, my bad) was very helpful and understanding. The small room that we gathered in was very nicely decorated, and the seats were comfortable. We bought our own flowers to the funeral home to save the family money at the suggestion of the director. No one wants to plan for the inevitable but I'm glad that my family chose Gallagher and Son for my grandmother.

My family and I had time to prepare for my father's passing and we reached out to Leo P Gallagher…read morefuneral home a week before he passed. We started to plan his services with their team knowing. Sadly, it was a terrible, incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience from the very beginning. We learned quickly that Gallagher Funeral home had sold to a larger corporation and despite having a 'case manager' we were often speaking to different people who were not in communication with one another. No one ever met us face to face and their lack of clear communication internally and lack of care for my family only made a difficult time harder. There is so much to handle when planning a funeral and we had hoped for guidance and inspiration when picking out the details, and none were provided. When we asked for help with the programs for the church service they emailed me to say 'I needed to do them myself, as they had messed them up in the past.' The day before my father's service our main point of contact 'Hanah' told us she would be out and a colleague would meet us at the church and handle helping block off parking, organize the procession, not to mention delivering my father's ashes, their role is to generally direct the funeral. This new person showed up 15 min before the service started, we had over 40 people already in the church without prayer cards and my family totally bewildered on what we were supposed to be doing. 'Ray' said 'don't kill the messenger, he got this job late last night.' He knew nothing about blocking off the parking meters and said that the cops would be understanding on the busy avenue about people parking for a funeral and not ticket! The entire experience was so terrible and so very upsetting it moved me to find a way to write a review as on their elaborate website they only have positive glowing reviews, I can only assume those were from before they became part of a larger group where customer service was not a priority. I would strongly encourage anyone to not use this vendor.

The entire process and setting made it easier for those who had to make the arrangements and those who attended the wake less stressful. There's a small private parking lot next to the funeral home. I highly recommend this establishment. I've gone to many wakes in many locations and this was one of the better places I've been. The floral arrangements were spread out and displayed with care.

At the cemetary, as the priest blessed the coffin, I recognized that the funeral home embossed the wrong name on the outside of my father's coffin! There was nothing I could do at that moment because of distraught family members. If I were there alone, I would have stopped the burial! Instead, I immediately contacted the funeral home. To this day, four months later, Matt and the funeral home have not corrected the problem. I have called a number of times. I would NOT recommend this funeral home because of their insincerity and refusal to take responsibility for their mistake. The idea of my father's coffin having the wrong name on it makes me crazy on a daily basis. My father has gone to meet his Maker in a coffin with a mistake that will stay there virtually forever. Shame on you, Matt!

It's a lot to deal with, you want someone to take the reigns and give you time to grieve and we were fortunate to receive this type of service from Michael.

I'd also like to point out the care and attention to detail taken for my dad's veteran affairs. Michael was knowledgeable and efficient when it came to arranging his military honors.

I learned much later that this is not a requirement of Connecticut law.

I had expected guidance through a process I had not experienced before. I Did not receive either. The completely impersonal approach to my intense grief and lack of any guidance was all I experienced here. Mistakes were made, but not acknowledged, until proven.

Grief and stress are monumental for the family at this time, I suggest looking for a funeral home that provides the sensitivity to help the family through the most difficult time in their lives.
