I come from a very modest family. When my father recently passed, it was my job to make sure that…read morehe was taken care of. After calling many different places, I found New England Funeral Center. They treated our situation with dignity and overwhelming professionalism. The staff was incredibly helpful with pricing and finding the right fit that honored my father while still working within our budget. To be honest, if I read the reviews of this place, I may have passed. Trust me, the reviews are inaccurate. I would recommend this place to everyone who is willing to listen. A very big thank you again for all of your help New England Funeral Center.

We were looking just for a direct cremation for my brother in law; they were nice enough but…read morereally overpriced. They wanted $4100 for nothing except a direct cremation and a $100 urn. They were somewhat unprofessional; my husband was trying to get through this difficult meeting and they were talking about everything except us; their intern, their problems with the coffee maker, etc. It was an odd experience during a somewhat surreal time in our life.

It was bad enough not being able to be with our family; this made a painful event even more so. The manager explained that "it was a scheduled event."
