My uncle Patrick Dacey was laid to rest today. To say McKenna Oullette made his service special would be an understatement. The sheer dedication and professionalism of the staff is unparalleled. Generations of my family have been laid to rest by this well established Service and for good reason. You can trust these guys with everything.

The staff is great and everyone is very helpful! Beautiful, beautiful funeral home. They did such creative and thoughtful things such as a collage for my grandmother, 2 prayer cards (one in English and one in Portuguese), a sign-in book w/ all of my grandma's photos, a slideshow (which was a dvd that you get to keep at the end of the services), and a thank you card. Not to mention, my grandma looked great! She looked so natural and beautiful. It was nice to see that she was not plastered in a bunch of make up that would look nothing like her. Everyone complimented on how angelic she looked. We
