What a wonderful association with such kind people working there. Last summer, my mother and I…read morecalled in search of the location of the unmarked grave where my great grandmother and her son had been buried in 1944 and 1945. We had NO clue where they were, and it broke our hearts that they had gone unmarked and unvisited for all these years. Some of us painted some rocks and left them by the site, which was easily found thanks to the young lady who went out and left markers for us. We didn't expect the rocks to remain for long, due to the need for grounds maintenance. My mother passed away this past February from cancer, before we were able to get a stone for our relatives. This summer, my aunt, my father, and I were able to have a stone made. Today, it was set in the ground, in all its glory. Imagine our surprise when we went to see it and saw that the little painted rocks we'd left there last summer were still there! What a truly remarkable sight. We would like to thank everyone at Oak Grove in West Haven for helping us on our journey to finally honoring our relatives, and for saving our little painted rocks!

Maresca & Sons handled the funeral arrangements for my mother, and they did a wonderful job. At the…read moreinitial meeting we had with Neil, he thanked us for entrusting him with this important service. Neil went out of his way to meet with us on a holiday weekend so we could begin to make arrangements for my mother's funeral. He explained all options in detail, including costs, and guided us through every decision we had to make: viewing, funeral service, burial, casket, flowers, pall bearers, obituary, and death certificates. He coordinated very well with the church. What stands out most is how beautiful my mother looked in the casket on the day of her funeral: as we had requested, her hair was colored and styled as she would have liked it, her makeup was flattering, her nails were nicely done, her rosary was well-placed in her hands, and even the guardian angel pin we had left in her nursing home room was pinned to her jacket. Parking and traffic control were handled very well on the day of the funeral. Neil guided us every step of the way so that we could focus on my mother, knowing that he had taken care of every detail. Throughout, Neil was caring and sensitive to making sure our needs were met during this difficult time. Maresca & Sons exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend them.

Recently we had a service for my mother and once again, they went above and beyond to make an incredibly difficult time as easy as possible. My family and I worked with Angie to arrange the service, and she was professional, attentive and empathetic. She provided me with her personal contact information and made herself available at any time to answer questions and help to navigate all of the final directives. She not only provided recommendations for the services, she personalized everything to tribute my mother, down to florist recommendations. Angie, I can not thank you enough for guiding us through such a difficult time and providing us with a perfect experience. I know my mother would have loved everything, and she could be very difficult to please.

My son was born premature and didn't make it. I didn't know anything about funeral services, but…read moreIvonne's helped us through the difficult process. They didn't charge for services and wouldn't take a dime over the price of the urn, which means they paid for the paperwork fees themselves, but they treated us like we were spending top $. But the 5 stars are not for the free service, but for being amazingly accommodating and thoughtful; Cliff even offered to bring the remains of my son home, so we wouldn't have to go over there again. They know we don't have any family here, so their fantastic service was not motivated by the prospect of future business.

We…read moreasked if the grave side service would be recorded, we were told that it would be available for the out of town relatives on a Zoom format and on a thumb drive. As it turned out the first 60 seconds were recorded, then the screen went black. John informed us that the recording company still had the Zoom video and it was still intact at a cloud platform. We called several times but eventually was told the Zoom in fact was not going to be available. We believe that personnel at Shure Funeral Home made the error at the time of the recording of the video. The family is devastated that this sensitive moment in the life of a family has not been preserved.

I've been on a lifelong quest to understand who I'm named after, what he was about, where he lived,…read moreand where he died. Finally, this year, I made progress on this quest. My great grandfather, Howell Wright, is buried here, next to his wonderful wife Mable. His parents, who are my great great grandparents, and children are here as well. Live together. Die together. Family. I quietly paid my respects. I said thank you for overcoming so much to create a family. I am glad my aunt asked that we have the gravestones cleaned. I didn't understand why until I was here in person. It felt right. Everything felt right. We found many other graves with the family name so my research will continue. Life is good when you understand where you came from while looking forward to what is ahead.

Well I must said, Community was truly a blessing to us during this time of bereavement. They were caring, sympathetic, helpful, and reassuring. They did a great job with my grandma, as Brenda said they would. When we reviewed my grandma, I laugh and cried tears of joy because she looked great; went out as stylish as she was, hair and all. It was amazing. There was snow storm prior to her service. Community came through. They were prompt and courteous, patient (never felt rushed) and kind. I would recommend them to everyone sending a loved one off.
