He was compassionate, responsive and empathetic (and not fake empathetic, the real deal). I was so impressed with how they treated my father during this process, the family and just in general. I can't say enough good things. When you have a terrible event like this, please use this local business to help you through it.

Instead of simply offering some sort of reimbursement, Luke basically said it was MY fault and not their crappy wrapping of my loved ones remains.

When Steven and his son brought my sister out of the room on the stretcher she looked at peace - no plastic bag zipped up over her. She was laying there - her beautiful and peaceful face exposed. Her body covered with a beautiful handmade quilt. Peacefully, she was taken from the house with care and respect. I can never thank Steven and staff for their kind and loving care they gave my sister. I never felt that Steven looked at this as a "job". He cares and shows it with everything he says and does. We could not have gotten through those days without his help and advice. Steven, we will always be grateful for you and your help. God bless. Chris S.

Stones trees and…read morevets Spears Cemetery is a graveyard of about 500 graves. The oldest I could find was from about 1800 but there were some very ancient looking stones that were worn down to almost nothing and no longer readable. The newest graves were right up to the present. The cemetery is in a lovely location, surrounded by woods and peaceful and quiet. It's has a cool stone wall and an interesting sort of gate that looks like someone made it on the spot or in their backyard. Another old cemetery is across the street and lot of flowers and plants give the graveyard a very pleasant feel. Many of the memorials are from the late 19th century and it looks like many Civil War vets are resting here. Spears Cemetery is also known as Rhode Island Historical Cemetery No 60 and is well maintained and still visited by the living. A pleasant and peaceful place to spend eternity.

They were so thoughtful, kind, and didn't leave any details out. I am posting this picture of my daughter because the beauty of this photo is unmatched. Not only is there a butterfly on her shoulder but the box that Tommy picked out was 100% my dad. Thank you so much!

The folks at this funeral home were so very nice. The payment wasn't their concern, of course they…read moreare a business so I was shocked to even hear them say "we trust our community". They were more concerned about making sure that my aunt was laid to rest the way she wanted and also made sure to keep me in the loop about the whole process, step-by-step. Honestly, the price may have been a little more than I expected but given the service, the quality of humans working at the funeral, worth every penny. I have been to funeral homes that dont even give condolences and the first words out of their mouth is " did your relative have insurance?". Tierney Funeral Home is NOT this type of business. They really care about those that have lost loved ones and go the extra mile to make sure everything is taken care of. The money part, is secondary to the loss. THANK GOODNESS for them! My mind couldn't even process the death much less the payment for closing out a life I didn't expect to lose for many many years to come. Thank you Heather! Thank you Zach! You both made this horrible event a little brighter because of your compassion, understanding, thoughtfulness, and kindness. Putting my pain first before anything else really made me feel better in the moment. I appreciate you all at Tierney and will always recommend your funeral home to those I love and trust.

It's touted as one of the…read moreoldest cemetaries in New England and the first generation of original settlers is buried here. I drove 6 hours to visit this cemetary and what I found was an overgrown field full of broken stones strewn everywhere, most unreadable. There is no commemorative map at the site to guide visitors. A drunken homeless man was lying under the overgrown beech tree that definitely needs its branches trimmed to reveal the grave stones located under it. The area reeked of liquor and urine and there was broken glass, empty beer cans and mini liquor bottles strewn about. I didn't dare go behind the branches of that huge tree to look at the stones. Stones are broken, leaning against each other, sunken deeply into the soil to the point of only a few inches showing . How could tours possible walk through this place without further damaging the stones lying about. Some stones are crumbled into pieces with parts of the names being trampled into the soil and one is a Captain's stone. Are there no cemetary restoration groups that would taken on this great mess? When I am looking for relatives in a cemetary I usually will walk through the entire place and take photos even if it takes a couple of hours. I drove 6 hrs to New London , and gave up in disgust after just half an hour at this place. I did not feel safe here. I don't understand how a town can have a historical society that cannot organize volunteers to keep up such an historic attraction. I also visited the Ancient Burying Grounds at Wethersfield and it was much better there, but still has some condition issues, as far as further preservation of stones, but was not at all as bad as New London. Mystic has an immaculate cemetary.
