During the most difficult time of your life, making decisions in a short period of time is very difficult. The Auclair team, led by Adam and Susan Auclair, made the services for my mother everything we wanted to honor her. Their attention to detail is amazing. No request was not fulfilled and nothing was forgotten. There was no doubt when our father passed away seven years later who we would trust to honor him. We are forever grateful for your professionalism and kindness.

I can not thank the Auclair family enough and will be forever grateful to them. My Father passed in the very beginning of the Covid lock down, not allowing for a military burial. Knowing that this was very important to my Father, Susan suggested a memorial service at later time when restrictions would be lifted. Susan handled all of the details. The service was beautiful, touching and the honor my father deserved. The Auclair Family went above and beyond for my family, I highly recommend their services.

I am blessed to have had the Auclairs handle both parents funeral arrangements. Susan initially met with my Dad and I a number of years ago to discuss prepayment funeral arrangements. We agreed upon the costs and Susan handled all the details...too many to contemplate last minute. So glad she recommended to do this in advance rather than last minute.
Charles walked me through Dads obituary announcement in the newspaper...he knew all the deceased kin from previous relative obituaries...he had this information already on file on his computer.
Alyssa handled my mom's funeral and helped me out

This place really cares! The most professional and compassionate funeral home you could ask for. Went above and beyond for my family, making sure that we had nothing to stress about. Losing a loved one is hard enough, we were able to grieve and leave the rest to them, every detail handled to perfection. Can't say enough about everyone that works here, they care about your loved one like they are their own family.

The staff was exceptional in assisting my family during the unexpected loss of my father. With our shock and disbelief of his passing, we were grief-struck and at a loss in planning services. We were directed to Auclair by a colleague and we are all so glad we were. Everything was explained in great detail and no one was ever pushy or attempting to sell us anything beyond what we asked for. They pleasantly made suggestions and carefully made all arrangements. The very caring staff made a difficult time and event compassionate, honorable and easy to navigate. Very highly recommend!
