Many walkways and roadways throughout the park, lots of trees and grass. Definitely a park. At the entrance, you can pick up brochures for the visitors guide and a cell phone audio tour. The sections are reasonably numbered and I did not have too much trouble finding the resting places I wanted to see. Katherine Kepburn, Samuel & Elizabeth Colt, Thomas Gallaudet, JP Morgan and Thomas Brownell. Of course, many other non-celebrities are laid to rest here. Cedar Hill is an active cemetery with ongoing burials and memorials. Please be respectful of those who are visiting their relatives. And of course, please don't litter - bring your trash with you!

Words cannot explain how upset I am. Went to have a burial at Cedar Hil on 6/24/25, where the…read moreFamily already has a plot. When we get there, the Cemetary people brought us to the incorrect plot. I tried several times to tell the Funeral Employees that we were at the wrong spot, they finally realized the problem. Some Idiot in the Cemetary Office "transposed" the numbers where the plot was. Even the people who dug the grave did not check if it was correct. This is an embarrassment to not just the Funeral home, but also the Family. The person in the Office did not do a very good job, and needs to be spoken to, and their worked checked. The Family will not pay twice to the Cemetary.

It's never a good time when you need to visit one of these establishments but the staff here is incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. They were so kind and took care of everything. The venue itself is beautiful and for being around since the 70s, it looks brand new. They are very accommodating and readily available by phone or email as we needed them the week leading up to the services, and even afterwards. Couldn't recommend a funeral home in the area more than this one.

Driven by this location many time was pretty surprised by the ease of getting in and getting out as the funeral was promptly after the business day concluded. There were ushers helping us park cars as it was a large gathering from in and out of state that was here to bid farewell to a friend and family. The lot was pretty tight yet served us well as I didn't have to fight for a spot and was heading inside. The staircase leading upstairs from the lot that I had parked was beautiful, though we all were dressed in black attire. Two different rooms for seating and the bigger room held the casket and visitors came to pay their respects. A decently sizes funeral home that some had to squeeze by others while there was still areas for groups to congregate. I imagine that a lot of thought and preparation was put into honoring this man and this funeral home did him justice. Cannot speak to the procession the day after to the cemetery as I couldn't attend but I imagine thar it was well organized and handle the business of the Elmwood West Hartford area.

Because I live in California, Rob facilitated a conference call w/ my sister & I to discuss what options we might prefer for Mom's service. Once we agreed on our specific choices, Rob ensured us that Mulryan would coordinate with all the other outside services (cemetery prep, priest, etc.) so that we could focus on other things. True to his word, everything was effortless before, during & after Mom's service. (They even let me drop-in the day before the service to test our Spotify audio playlist and video slideshow that would appear on their screens during calling hours.) From beginning-to-end, we felt we were in good hands with Mulryan. The room looked absolutely beautiful & well-appointed for the service. Rob was present & available throughout. The coordination from Mulryan to the cemetery was smooth & effortless. And even in our final moments at the cemetery, Rob was there overseeing the final closure of the burial site. We really couldn't have asked for more. If you're in need of a local Glastonbury funeral service that deftly handles the sensitivity, class & respect a funeral of a loved one requires, Mulryan will most certainly take great care of you & yours. Thanks again, Rob.

Our family used this funeral home in the last couple of weeks. We would like to share our story…read morefor others. My companion's daughter passed away unexpectedly. We met with the director and wanted to have a casket for just the mass. The home has a casket that they use for multiple rentals for the funeral. The fee to use the casket for an hour and a half was $1200 which we thought was exhobinant. The mother of the daughter is a single mom on a fixed income. The fees from this home were extremely high and I wrote to the owner Tom Mulryan to ask if he could consider a discount for the woman. He never returned an email, I wrote to him again telling him that I thought that it was discourteous to not even respond to a customer. Then I received a rude email back from him stating that I was threatening him because I told him that I will never refer anyone to his business. He also threatened that if I said anything to anyone about his business he would forward my emails to the mother of the child. I never threatened this person and merely asked him if he could possibly give this single mother a discount for their services. there is nothing wrong with that. In return I received the following email from the owner. (This is from Tom Mulryan the owner) "I didn't get back to you because I didn't think there was any reason to.  Just because in your mind you think we should give a discount that doesn't count. How much did you contribute to the funeral.  And don't ever threaten me. If I Hear one thing from someone that you said about me or the funeral home I will forward all your emails to---------- " ( A real classy way to treat his customers that just lost a family member.) Mind you we just buried her daughter a couple of weeks ago. We will never use this funeral home again and this is an example of the sensitivity and crudeness that you receive from no less the owner of the home. This person doesn't deserve anyone's business and I would not recommend that anyone go to their home. It seems like money is the main concern and not the compassion for his clients. All I did was merely ask him if he could give a single mom that lost her 32 year old daughter a discount on the package. This person is insensitive, rude and completely inconsiderate to his customers and isn't professional. I understand now why many people that I know are choosing CT Crematory for $1250 and they have a mass. The don't want to deal with the funeral homes that are bilking people. We just lost a family member and this is the way that he reacted to us. I have never had an owner of any business, especially someone that deals with grief, loss etc. act so callous, and rude. He shows no class. We are still mourning and this is the treatment that we got. We do not recommend this funeral home. Absolutely egregious! Any other funeral home would be better than this one. Please do yourself a favor and choose someone else for your services.

I struggled with the question of whether or not to write a Yelp review about a funeral home. We see so many reviews about frivolous things here; complaining about warm food and dressing "not on the side as I specifically requested". Coming here, to do what we had to do, puts all of that stuff into a more focused perspective. I wondered if it would be appropriate to write about something as serious as this. But because we were treated so well, with such respect, and professionalism, and dare I say compassion and kindness, I decided to Yelp Weinstein Mortuary. Mort Weinstein was stellar. He walked us through all of the things we needed to know to handle the passing of a family member. He worked with us, and on our behalf, with clergy arrangements, cemetery arrangements, social security, banking and insurance issues, obituary arrangements, municipal certificates, etc. He was totally professional in every way. He listened to us. He gave us many choices and options. He wasn't pushy. He made us feel comfortable and cared for.
