I would also like to express my gratitude for the lovely and wonderful job the Chapel did for my beloved father's private viewing and cremation. Many Thanks.
Michelle, Thank you for all your help during this tough time. We were so impressed on how professional and compassionate you and your staff were. I couldn't imagine anyone else taking care of my dad's send off. You thought of every detail, we felt so well cared for. The celebration of life was amazing. My father would have been so thrilled.
Lola was extremely attentive and helpful. Thank you very much!!!
Dear Michelle, I wanted you to know how much we appreciated all you did to make Peter's funeral and the celebration f his life such a perfect day.
The funeral mass was so peaceful and everything was exactly as we hoped it would be. The table with Peter's urn, the arrangement of the beautiful flowers, the peace plants on the altar, all so special and done with such care. Please thank Rose for helping the family to the altar-it was calming to them all.
You ended the day with such a beautiful prayer service and personal reflections at the columbarium. I will never forget your kindness shown to our entire family during such a difficult time.
God has blessed you with a special gift and we are so grateful to have you in our lives. God Bless.
Dear Rose, Thank you for the special care and attention given to Norman and me during this multi-faceted phase of our life: joy and sadness. I am very grateful for the exemplary care and kindness you have shown me at this difficult and sad time. As you promised, everything went smoothly. I will never forget your kindness, sympathy, generosity and understanding.
Glenn, Thank you for your help and support since Joe's death. You made me smile at a difficult time-good for you!!! Loved your stories and anecdotes-you tell a good tale. With gratitude, Frank.
Lola explained to me and my Mom regarding the details of my dad's funeral. It
was thorough. She was very receptive in changing certain details even up until a couple
days before the funeral. Overall she and her staff did a great job.
Dear Chris, I was deeply touched when I received the Presidential Certificate as an acknowledgment of my husband's courageous service to our country. I appreciate all your efforts to submit a written request to the President on my behalf, and sending the Certificate to me. Thanks again to you and your staff for the wonderful support during this difficult time.
Rose, I will never forget all the hard exceptional work you put into Bruce's send off! Nothing left undone. You are the Best. All our Love.
Michelle,
Can't even begin where to thank you for all your hard work and heartful send of for Bruce--Nothing left undone!! Will never forget you!!
Lola is highly respected for her professionalism. Her work ethic expressed her passion for her job. She shows caring for the families, and her explanations of each step of the funeral service plan in process was in great detail. Her presence at the service assured families and guests understood and followed the process/procedures. She follows through with all the work completed per the plan. Greatly appreciated Lola's help with our dad's funeral services!
Glenn, Thanks for all of your help and for the outstanding team at Hamel-Lydon, the ceremony was very well done and much appreciated.
Everything was wonderful today. Michelle, Rose, and Charles made it seem so easy. We laughed and cried but in the end it went off without a hitch. Thanks again for everything.
Chris and Team, Thank you for all you did to help with the cremation of my love Lew. Your time and help was much appreciated. Thank you for also helping me and special delivery of the urn. It is so beautiful. I know Lew is pleased.
We are very appreciative to your funeral home for helping plan our father's
memorial services. We had very particular needs for the services and felt that
every request was thoughtfully and carefully incorporated in the service. All of our
friends and family was very impressed with the service. All of the traditional
Chinese elements were well put together. Also, Lola was very responsive to all of
our numerous questions and emails. Thank you so much.
Working with Lola made everything a little easy for us since we had no experience with any of this. She led us through every step of the way. She was extremely caring and full of compassion. Whenever we had questions, she was there and it seemed that she worked 24 hours a day. We felt extremely lucky to have Lola and Hamel-Lydon Chapel behind us during this difficult time.
Dear Michelle, Thank you for your assistance with Barbara's funeral. You and your staff do a great job. The attention to detail is outstanding. Charles, Chucky and Glenn did a great job. Charles is going to do just fine in his role. Thank you again.
Lola was an amazing help. She made this difficult time a little bit more easier
knowing that I was able to give my mother the funeral that she deserves and
more. She helped me when I had questions and gave me the comfort that helped
me decide all of the arrangements. When there were problems with the
arrangement, she quickly resolved it. She always made sure every detail was what
I envisioned for my mother. She made me feel like she was a family friend and she
truly care about my feelings and I wasn't just a customer. I will always remember
her genuine kindness towards my family and I.
Lola and her team are one of a kind. They paid attention to our needs and
reassured us that they are available any time if we needed assistance or have any
questions. Lola was very sweet and I thank her from the bottom of my heart for
everything that she did for my family and I.
Glenn, Just wanted to say "Thank You" for all your help with "our" mom Ann Pierce.
Efficient. Respectful. Accommodating.
Dear Lola, Thank you for your kindness and supports during this difficult time. I really appreciate the excellent service you have provided to us at my father's funeral.
Dear Lola & The Staff at Hamel-Lydon, Thank you very much for your help and your professional services during this difficult time. We appreciate your kind and thoughtful service. My mother's funeral was beyond my expectation and a loving memorial of her.
Rose and Chris, Thank you both for your caring, compassionate and patient service. We never thought anyone could ever make Rickie, look like Richie, but you did. And perfectly. The day of his celebration was orchestrated perfectly as well. Thank you to you and your staff for making this most difficult situation a little bit easier. Regards,
Dear Michelle and Chris, Our thanks to you and to your entire team for your support and compassion over the past few months. This has been a very difficult time for the Glennon Family and we couldn't have gotten through it without you. Thanks for taking such good care of mom and dad.
Michelle is fabulous. Couldn't ask for better service. Very caring and competent. Thank you, Michelle.
It was perfectly organized. I really appreciate all your help.
The entire staff were very caring and professional.
Excellent Service!!! Thank you!!!
Dear Michelle, Chris and Team, Thank you so much for taking such good care of my dad (and us). The services were beautiful. Thank you for your support and compassion.
My mother Claire would have approved of everything.
Michelle Lydon and Rose Pope of Hamel-Lydon played their roles perfectly as if their lives were scripted. They chose a profession that requires people who can comfort people who are in the most need of comfort and peace of mind...and hit it out of the park. Thanks to Chuck Phelan, Andrew Pope, Gayle Marie, Joey Mahoney and Chuck Phelan, Jr. for making it easier. You all have my ultimate respect and gratitude.
Thank you for making an impossible situation bearable. Your whole team was awesome...especially that one named Rose!
Dear Lola & All Chapel Staff, We extend our deepest thanks to all of you for your kindness and support during our greatest sadness. We appreciate it more than words can express and it will be remembered.
Chris and Lola did an impeccable job during hard time for our family. Funeral was well organized and comforting. Thank you.
Dear Lola, Thank you for your kindness and for all your help at the time of our loss.
In October when my brother Frank passed I had no plans for his final wishes. We chose Hamel-Lydon Chapel & Cremation. We had Frank cremated and had a beautiful memorial service. Glenn Davis who guided us through the process was wonderful detailed compassionate along with humor. . My husband dealt with Rose Pope numerous times on the phone. Rose was helpful patient and kind. They answered all our questions and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome . Thank You both for your guidance at a very difficult time . AnnMarie & Joe Flynn
Service was excellent. The funeral service did very well and was personalized. There were traditional Chinese customs. We felt warm and respected. Thanks.
Dear Chris and Associates, We all want to thank you deeply. Your heartfelt guidance and sincere expressions of sympathy to each of us is genuinely appreciated. The extra measures of assistance you and your staff provided for us all was special, and will not be forgotten. I am amazed at your patience with us as we stumbled along. Hey, we did it, and WELL, because of you! You valued our grief and, without judgment, allowed us to express it in our own ways and on our own schedule. Yes, Mom would have enjoyed meeting you…and she would have liked you, too!
My Mom passed away on September 22nd of this year. We had prearranged everything several years ago. It’s hard to find words to convey how grateful I am for all the love, compassion and support that Michelle and her staff gave to us during this sad time. My Mom sat down with Michelle several years ago and instantly took to to her. My Mom told her just what she would like for her celebration of life. Michelle arranged a beyond beautiful burial and service. Michelle didn’t miss any details. Every time I would contact Michelle for something I wasn’t sure about she had already taken care of it. Michelle is such a down to earth and warm person, it was such a comfort to me and my family. I’m for ever grateful to her. My Dad passed several years ago and Michelle and Chuck and staff handled everything the same way for his celebration of life. I have nothing but positive things to say.❤️ Catherine
Dear Lola, We wanted to express our sincere thanks to you and the staff members at Hamel-Lydon Chapel and Cremation Service of MA. Especially, we wanted to thank you, Lola, for making the process much easier for us. You were always there to answer our questions and you were very thoughtful as well to consider all the details for us. Thank you all again and we wish you all the best!
Many thanks to Lola’s knowledge and care, which made everything go very smoothly. Many thanks to the staff for everything else.
Michelle, There are no words to express my gratitude to you. My family and I are grateful to you for your kindness and careful attention to every detail. I’ll always remember how you got my Mom through my Dad’s service and now getting us through my Mom’s. You make such a difference in the world. You are a true gem!
Chris, Rose, and Staff, Thank you for managing the Funeral service for my dad so well. The extra measure of assistance you all provided for us all will not soon be forgotten. We are deeply grateful.
Hamel-Lydon Chapel, thank you for all of your help with Athur’s services. I am sure he would have thanked you himself. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work you do.
On behalf of our family, it was the most prepared funeral that we have ever experienced. It was our blessing for our grandmother to have Hamel-Lydon as her funeral. Thank you Hamel-Lydon and especially Lola for organizing the ceremony. Thank you!
I can’t thank you all enough for the beautiful service. The attention of the staff at the service made it more personable. Caring, loving environment that felt like home.
Our family's overall experience was excellent. The personal touch that was offered, meeting all of the families needs at a very difficult time. Couldn’t have had a better send off for our mom. Thank you Michelle and Chris, you were both amazing.
Michelle Lydon is fantastic! She is so caring and we had a great experience with her and the funeral home long ago, and then recently. I would highly recommend Hamel-Lydon!
I want to thank you again for your excellent and very warmful service throughout the whole process for my father-in-law's funeral. Thank you.
Chris, You made it easy. Thank you.
Glenn, Thank you for all your help support, and hard work in preparing
for the funeral. It was a pleasure working with you. I’ll be by some time in
the coming weeks to take care of pre-arrangements and will ask for you!
Service was excellent.
We want to thank you all for all your help during a difficult and stressful time. Glenn, you were wonderful and spent time taking my many phone calls. Rose was so caring and wonderful the day of the service. The urn and flowers were beautiful. Thank you so much.
Lola, Thank you and your team for all your assistance and support for my father’s funeral service.
Michelle and Roberta were beyond helpful and kind. They always answered each question quickly and with such kindness. This was a difficult time that was made so much easier because they know what they are doing and do it so well. Thank you will never be enough!
Lola and Hamel-Lydon Chapel Staff, Thank you so much for your kind
and thoroughly competent care of my dad's funeral/cremation service.
You made my most difficult time so easy and effortless. I can feel how
genuine and altruistic you were while guiding me through this tough
period/transition. You all were accommodating and you all were amazing.
Thank You so much.
I can't find the words to adequately express my gratitude to Michelle Lydon and all those at Hamel -Lydon who helped me and my family through two of our most difficult times. When we lost my mother years ago, Michelle had a way of softening the pain and helping us be in touch with the love and hope that get us through our sadness. This May, when my sister passed away, Michelle, her son who has joined the team, Chris Goulet and the others once again helped us through those most painful of moments. The specialness of the help we received from Hamel-Lydon seems to be rooted in a profound belief in the value of the life that was lived and in the presence of the spirit that lives on. I can't thank you all enough.
Glenn, Thankfully, your compassionate caring at Hamel-Lydon Chapel
helped her to transition to her beautiful, peaceful new life in God’s
Heaven. I know she is happy and still loved and truly missed. You are part
of her story, a life full of many pages, where your caring helped not only
Nancy, but we her family, make it to the end. She’s at peace and you,
along with other caring staff, helped so much to go from body to soul and
still be “Nancy" full of eternal life. Many thanks for making this passage
easy and welcoming, your warmth and kindness will always be
remembered. God Bless You.
I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful service for my sister-in-law. I
also wanted to thank you for the kindness you showed my brother Mark!
Your helping him to say goodbye to his wife was wonderful.
Michelle was amazing. Kind, caring, loving. She is a true empath.
Dear Lola and the Hamel-Lydon Team, I wanted to share my thanks and
gratitude to you and the entire team for your assistance with my Dad
Joe’s funeral last week. It was a difficult week but with your help it made
our grief a little easier. I want to commend you on your grace,
professionalism, and courtesy. It meant everything to our friends and
family. Wishing you all a healthy and safe summer.
Everything went so well. Thank you so much.
Lola and Chris took care of my family with great care and love. Not a single detail was missed. We are extremely grateful that Lola knows so much about the Chinese rituals and she was able to gently teach and guide us during a difficult time. We recommended Hamel-Lydon Chapel to our cousins who unfortunately had their father (my uncle) pass away not too long after my father.
Having Lola being able to translate the arrangements was very comforting for my mom. It was a sudden loss so I am so grateful to you and your team’s flexibility. You made the processes as easy as possible. Many thanks to Lola for being available at all times.
Lola T was awesome. She was patient and professional.
I just want to thank you again - Michelle in particular - for how you helped transform such a sad event into one full of love and warmth.
Compassion, empathy, tradition and service. In every sense we received this and more from Hamel-Lydon Chapel - before, during and after the funeral services for our father, Mr. Tung M. Chan. We wholeheartedly extend a grateful THANK YOU! to Mr. Christopher Goulet, staff and especially Ms. Lola Tom for the beautiful service provided.
We feel very fortunate to have chosen Hamel-Lydon for our Dad's funeral services. The excellent service provided by Ms. Lola Tom was above expectations. At times we felt guilty for disturbing her, but Lola was always there offering her knowledge and guidance for - casket selection, flowers, burial and headstone.
Ms. Lola Tom was extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in the intricacies of planning and carrying out a traditional Chinese funeral service. Ms. Tom took extra time making sure all the guests (especially the grandchildren) were well informed of the traditions, customs and rites. Lola accompanied and directed the traditional Chinese burial site services as well. She was always ready to be of assistance and yet never being intrusive. Our family was at ease under the difficult circumstances of the day.
Family and friends who attended the wake were very impressed with the services. The Quincy Center venue, where Dad's services were held, was bright and airy. Attendees of different generations were quick to mention that the quality of the service and venue were significantly better; and things were not rushed as they often have experienced at the old-school Chinese funeral homes in Boston's Chinatown.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, having someone like you caring
for families and their loved ones is truly a gift! Thank you for treating
Valentine with the utmost dignity and respect. It is an honor to work with
you. Thank you!
Everyone at the funeral home was great! Arrangements were made in
advance but had to be changed due to COVID. Michelle was so patient
and caring through the whole process.
Lola, And the staff at Hamel-Lydon Chapel: Thank you SO much for your
wonderful services for my mother. Your thoughtfulness and kindness truly
supported my family during our lives most difficult times. Greatly
Appreciated!!
I just wanted to thank you for the dignified and professional way you
handled my wife’s cremation and transport from the hospital and
crematory. Thank you once again.
Our family just wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for all your help in
our time of sorrow. You all made it an easy and stress free process for us.
The services were done with the greatest of care for us. Thank you so
much for making this tough time a bit easier for us.
Mr. Goulet, It was a pleasure meeting you. Thank you so much for taking
care of my Aunt and bringing her ‘home’. I will never forget our kindness.
Lola was amazing! She was very understanding of the whole situation and
was accommodating. Got us everything that we wanted and needed. I
can’t express how much I appreciate it!
The Hamel-Lydon Funeral Home was so helpful in helping me plan my
aunt’s cremation and burial service. Michelle was especially helpful and
was so comforting to me and my family during this whole process!
Michelle is a wonderful asset to your funeral home!
Thank you everyone for helping me and my family in such a difficult time.
You made the process so much easier for me. Outstanding dedication,
knowledge, ability to listen, and other personal and professional qualities
made our experience with Lola and Chris exceptional. From the bottom of
my heart, Thank You!
Our family and friends were very pleased with the professional service. It
was how we envisioned it. Our funeral director had provided us with
above and beyond service, and for that, we are grateful. She (Lola) has helped
lighten the load we are dealing with during this difficult time.
Lola, Thanks so much for your help with everything. My grandfather-in-law was really touched. We were all pleasantly surprised at how much respect and thought went into the whole process. I'm so happy that we chose to use your business.
Lola is a wonderful balance of compassion and efficiency. She is
empathetic, making us feel understood and cared for during a difficult
time of loss. Her deep knowledge of customs and traditions allows her to
offer appropriate recommendations so decisions can be made in a timely
manner to customize arrangements, while never feeling rushed. She is
great to work with, making it easier to work through a time of loss.
The staff could not have been more helpful, knowledgeable, and
compassionate with our situation. They were always available to answer
questions and concerns. I can't say enough about how great they were.
I chose you because of the price of cremation, your knowledge and willingness
to be helpful. There were homes that offered cremation for a little lower price,
but I had heard your name and know you have been in the community for a long
time. My final decision after speaking with other homes, was your knowledge
about the FEMA COVID reimbursement and your helpfulness in offering to help
with the process. I was very happy with your service, and wouldn’t hesitate to
come to you in the future!
My family wants to express their appreciation for the excellent service provided by the staff at Hamel-Lydon Chapel for my dad. We are so grateful for the extra effort they made to contact the veterans organizations and to secure the police escort to the cemetery. We also want to thank Glenn Davis for his attention to details which made a sad day a little easier for us.
Chris and his staff were very caring, compassionate, and sympathetic. We
planned my mothers funeral ahead of time which made it easier for us
when she passed; well as “easy” as it could be as far as having to make
additional decisions at the time. Thank you!!
Michelle was excellent! Michelle was extremely helpful. Even when we had
to push the services out a week to 6 family members with COVID! My
mother’s appearance showed very nice care provided to her in
preparation for the viewing.
Lola, Chris and all: Thank you so much for your caring and kindness to
those who left us. Wish the new 2022 will be filled with Love and Happiness
to you all!
As sad as that day was for us, having Rose guide us through it made it
much easier to concentrate on what we were there for.
I just want Michelle. She made me feel so comfortable. She was so loving,
caring, and so knowledgeable. She made it so easy for me in my difficult
time. Thank you.
The staff did a wonderful job. We would choose them again.
Michelle is our dearest friend and we would not have made it without her
loving, comfortness and loving care. Michelle was with us before, after and
continues to be in contact with me and my son Mark in California, for all
our questions and needs. Michelle we love you and you are always and will
be in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much and God Bless You
for being in our lives. Michelle's son, Charles, and her driver, Jerry, were
absolutely caring, sensitive and gentlemen, thanks to both of you and
God Bless You.
I was very happy with the whole process. Everyone that I dealt with was so
kind and compassionate. I will definitely recommend Hamel-Lydon
Chapel.
Michelle, Thank you so much for everything you have done for us and
thank you for making Skip’s / our Dad’s celebration absolutely amazing!!
We couldn't have done any of this without you! You went way above and
beyond!!
Both Chris and Michelle were very helpful whenever I spoke with them, I
was very pleased. Thank you so much!
Thank you all for your kindness, patience, and professionalism!
I can not say enough good things about the entire staff that helped me
during this very trying time. Their kindness and how they made me feel so
comfortable, I can not thank them enough.
Thank you very much for your help, direction and support, Rose. Will
never be able to say enough good things about how genuinely concerned
and yet fully professional the Hamel-Lydon staff outreach has been.
Michelle was very available when needed. We all found her to be
compassionate in a genuine way. We did not feel encouraged or
pressured to purchase any additional products or services. I found them
particularly helpful at a difficult time.
We were all very happy with your staff and all services. Our entire family
was impressed with your kindness and respectful attention to details. We
sincerely thank you for handling the arrangements for Mary Ann. The
Hamel-Lydon Funeral Home is the most helpful we have ever had to deal
with under these circumstances. We would and will recommend you to
others in need of services. Thank you!
I can’t say enough, everyone I met was personal and friendly. Michelle was
understanding and caring and Glenn was a big help.
Michelle, Chris and Rose all were great to work with.
Our family cannot begin to express how nurturing and helpful Michelle
and everyone at Hamel-Lydon were to us. You helped us through such a
difficult time and took all confusion out of the entire process.
Thank you Lola and the Hamel-Lydon Team, We are grateful for
everything that you have done to make this time more comfortable. The
team has been so clear and responsive through the whole process.
Chris and Lola - THANK YOU! I was so impressed with your service from
beginning to end! Surpassed our expectations - Thank you so much!
Michelle was competent, caring and quick to respond. My family and I
appreciated her being there and going above and beyond our
expectations. Thank you Michelle!
Glenn was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was on top of everything
and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed.
Each staff member I dealt with was so kind and supportive. They walked
me through the process gently and with respect. I’ll plan my own funeral
with you because I know you will take care of me and my family. Many
thanks!
Exceptional, seamless service done with kindness.
Lola and Chris were super caring and wonderful in taking care of my
mom. We are very grateful and appreciative to Hamel-Lydon Chapel.
Wonderful support and care in my time of loss of a loved one!!
I received many compliments from my family about how great of a job
Michelle and Roberta did for my mom’s funeral. They made the day run so
smooth and not weird.
All staff members were great and provided excellent service. Couldn’t ask
for a better team.
We had a wonderful experience with Hamel-Lydon. Lola made the
planning super easy for us and she's a fountain of information for those
unaware of certain Chinese customs. My mom’s service was as she
would’ve wanted. Thank you so much for taking care of her so well.
When my Dad passed Michelle was wonderful and very helpful. Everything
was taken care of and she was awesome. I will recommend Hamel-Lydon
to my friends and family. Thank you for everything.
Always the best care. Thank you all again so much for everything you did
for my Dad. Thanks Chris for everything.
Rose, thank you for all you’ve done to make my grief journey easier. Peace
to you.
Thank you for all your care and kindness.
Your staff made the entire experience as easy and comfortable as
possible. I’m so grateful that my dad planned ahead! Staff is
knowledgeable, kind and sincere. Thank you!
I heard about your services on WATD Radio, Attorney Tom Williams show. I
called Chris to pre-plan my funeral and he was so nice, I decided to have
my mothers services there. We were so lucky to meet Michelle and both
helped guide us. Michelle handled the services and she was wonderful!
What a great team.
Lola, You have truly been a savior and simply AMAZING! Throughout this
difficult time for mom and I. Thank you for truly being here for me every
step of the process. You are so compassionate, knowledgeable about the
Chinese traditions, professional, calm, graceful and simply AWESOME at
what you do! You really provided comfort for my mom and I by
orchestrating everything (alter, joust, fruits). It was very well arranged and
organized and was to my Mom’s satisfaction.
Michelle Lydon and the staff were all very professional and friendly. Made
my family feel at home. Especially well handled during the pandemic!
We have had a few family members that were handled by this funeral
home. Michelle is the best, she is caring, helpful and made these stressful
times a lot easier for our family. Thank you!
Chris was wonderful throughout the whole process. … Thank you for all
you did to make the most difficult time in my life more bearable.
Dear Lola, Thank you again for taking such great care of my mom, Tam L.
It was such a devastating time for our family and you helped us with a
beautiful funeral. We are forever grateful.
Chris, Thank you all so much for everything you did for us. My grandmother looked beautiful, as did everything else. We truly appreciate your kindness and caring. You did absolutely everything you could have and far surpassed our expectations. We will recommend you in the future to anyone who needs your services.
We are so grateful to Chris and his staff helping us to get through this very difficult time. Chris was very compassionate, professional, and very easy to deal with in general. All arrangements were perfect, That's exactly what one needs during times like loss of your loved ones. We are very happy we went with Hamel-Lydon services.
When my mother passed away suddenly in 2014, Lydon Funeral Home came to our despair. With an open heart and professionalism that can't be matched anywhere else. There is not enough words to describe not only did my mom go home but the whole family did with her. Thanks to Michelle Lydon and her staff. My mom's wake should've been an overwhelming task but it wasn't. Michelle made it look easy. My mom had 14 people in her receiving line at the wake and 14 hundred guests which Michelle accommodate with ease. It was the coldest night of the year and she made sure there was not 1 person standing outside. That was just 1 of the main events of the saddest time of my life. From the moment I called her about her passing and for months and until this very day the care and concern hasn't stopped. My 5 brothers and sisters, children and friends who witnessed what Lydon Funeral had done for our family have now pledged their bodies to God and Michelle. I can't thank Lydon Funeral enough for what they did for me and my family. And I will never forget
There is no way possible to thank the entire staff. Everything was so perfect. I never expected this to happen to my family. One minute Wayne was here and next he was gone. From Chris to the entire staff we thank you all so much, I truly can’t find the words to thank you all, from the young men parking cars, the Limo driver and every one working with Chris. God Bless you all for making this less painful. Thank you all again. If necessary I would recommend Hamel-Lyndon Chapel ro everyone I know.
Thank you Chris, Michelle and everyone! You were so king and went beyond to accommodate our friends and family. Thank you for offering water and laughs to those waiting outside. You were all so professional and treated us like family. We appreciate you and thank you very much!.
Dear Chris, Thank you to you and your staff for working tirelessly to
ensure a fitting tribute to Sun Yiep’s life. We appreciate the effort that
went into making the services run smoothly. The work you do is so
important during such an emotional time. Please convey our thanks to
your staff for their work and professionalism.
Very helpful, I was able to arrange memorial services very quickly, which was helpful as I had many relatives coming from out of state. The only thing I would have done differently was to arrange to have an hour before memorial service to receive people before the service began, which was not offered to me and I did not think about it till afterwards.
Everything was done seamlessly by Michelle. She was absolutely wonderful. The entire family and friends all said how professional Michelle was and how well she did her job. Also, want to thank the entire staff, from the appearance of our mother, the attention your provided to us, the kindness and the details from the day our loved one was brought there to the day she was buried. Thank you again. Our family is grateful for Michelle, Chris and entire staff.
I can't believe how wonderful and perfect everything was. They were unbelievable.
The funeral home made this event very special. Thank you.
Michelle went over and above what I could have ever expected. I could never thank her enough for her caring and the help that she gave to my family under difficult and trying times.
I'm very pleased with this Funeral Home. Everyone was so caring and warm hearted.
Chris was more than accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable. He met and surpassed my expectations. Not being from the area he arranged transport for me, he helped me with ordering flowers, he made a very sad time for me easier. I am thankful for his caring ways. Thank you.
Helpful staff procuring a Catholic Priest. Very happy that the director suggested having military honors at the Funeral Home.
Michelle and all the employees are the best, wonderful, caring and compassionate people. When it is my time to leave this Earth my children will be calling Michelle and Family. I can't say enough about the help and outstanding service we received, to all of us, no one is better.
My family was very happy with the service and personal assistance. We love what you did with the book, very touching, and the police escort. Everything was very nice. Can thank all of you enough.
Very thoughtful and helpful, especially considering the circumstances and time frame we were facing. Thank you.
Everybody was truly very helpful when myself and family needed help.
Chris and Michelle,
We can't thank you enough for the way you made arranging the funeral so easy and seamless. We appreciate the police escort through Quincy to the cemetery, that was so nice of you to arrange. Thank you for your wonderful service, kindness and professional handling of every detail.
I appreciated the after letters when everything was completed, especially my Dads birthday card as his birthday was shortly after his death, very thoughtful. Thanks.
Everything was perfect and the programs and remembrance prayer cards were beautiful - top of the line!
I appreciated every personal detail we were given. It's a lot for a widow/widower to go through. Having someone to take you through this process with the knowledge, support and truly caring was such a huge help to me. I want to thank you for handling "everything" for me and my family.

Thank you for all your help with making the arrangements for Michael’s services. Your professionalism and compassion are greatly appreciated. You extended yourself creatively with your suggestions for the prayer cards and urn. The extra steps you took brought comfort to the closure
First let me thank you for your assistance with Peters’ arrangements, you made everything so smooth for us in this difficult time. You are a credit to your profession
I would like to thank you folks for the wonderful job you did in preparing my husband, William’s body for the funeral services on July 17. You prepared his body with honor and dignity, so we all could view his presence for the last time! My warrior has gone home but his memory will linger on! Thank you and God bless you all”
Thank you so much to all of you at Hamel, Wickens & Troupe. You all helped in different ways to make my father’s passing and services less painful. We so much appreciate all of the help and we thought the visitation service was wonderful too. From helping us with pre-paid services, to what steps to take upon my father’s passing, to help with writing the obituary and the recommendation to Ford Florist – you were all fantastic. Many many thanks
Just wanted to send a personal “thank you” for all you did to help us organize our mom’s final arrangements. We got a lot more than we expected and everyone at Hamel, Wickens & Troupe Funeral Home was so kind and respectful and personable. You all do a great service in an exceptional way. I know it can be difficult to deal with all the family members and keep everything straight.
My dad and sisters all commented on how nice you were to work with and how pleased they were with your professionalism. So, thanks to all of you who came out so readily to pick up our Mom. We appreciate your level of kindness.
It gives me great pleasure to take pen-in-hand to thank you for your caring, compassion and generosity in honoring Ed.
Please accept our sincere thanks and heartfelt appreciated for your generous donation of a turkey dinner at Thanksgiving for a hospice family. Our hospice volunteers delivered the basket to an elderly man on hospice services. He enjoyed a Thanksgiving meal with his two daughters and was very grateful for this surprise gift!
On behalf of my family, I am sending along our sincere gratitude for the Presidential Flag Case. Your surprise gift truly touched my heart. My father served in the Army in the South Pacific for four years during WWII. Whenever I look at the flag in the case I give thanks for his life and his service to our country. With thanks for all you do for our veteran’s and their families.
Thank you for all your help with my mother’s funeral arrangements as well for your emotional support. The day went very smoothly.
I’m sure you have heard this many, many times before but I will never be able to thank you enough for your help and your wonderful, gentle way with my mom. You made my Dad’s passing much easier on us. We were totally unprepared for this situation, had no experience and basically could not have done this without you. I believe it was Beverly that we first spoke with and she was wonderful. Again, I hope I don’t need you anytime soon Chris, but thank you so very much.
I want to thank you once again, Chris, for the care and sensitivity you provided with the funeral arrangements for Krysallis H. Under somewhat difficult and unusual circumstances, you and the staff of Hamel, Wickens & Troupe exhibited total professionalism and expertise in your approach to helping us plan her service and in guiding me through the process from the beginning up to her resting place at the National Cemetery at Bourne. I know that family and friends alike benefited from this final farewell.
Thanks to all at the Cremation Service of Massachusetts, especially Scott and Beverly. The considerate way you helped me with my father meant so much at this difficult time. The etching on the urn looked great at our memorial for Dad.
The kindness and professional service I received from Scott and Chris were greatly appreciated. Your service made a difficult time easier.
Thank you all so much for all your help in making Dad’s funeral perfect.
Our family wishes to thank you for the lovely certificate in memory for John. What a lovely thing to do for us, which we will treasure. We were very happy with the way Chris made things so easy for us for the service. People were very impressed. John’s parents were both at Hamel Wickens and Troupe Funeral home and we will continue to use your services.
Just a word to thank you for the very professional and moving services you provided for my father. It was most appreciated during a most difficult time for our family. Our sincere gratitude from all of us.
We wanted to thank you again for your help when my brother, Richard passed away. The services you provided were helpful and much appreciated.
What a lovely surprise to receive the Presidential Certificate in honor of Don’s service. Thank you so much for all you have done to support our family.
A special thank you for thoughtful people who make the rough ways of life smooth
I want to thank you with all my being for your kindness and patience to me. Your gentle voice and care of those left behind mean so much. Words just are not enough-God bless you.
I want to thank you for the Presidential Certificate you sent on behalf of my father, who was in the Air force in WWII. We appreciated receiving it and my sisters and I will cherish it. We appreciated your kind service in our time of trouble.
Thank you so much for all your help with our Dad. You’re courteous and kind demeanor was greatly appreciated and helped ease some of the burden at a most difficult time
Thank you so much for obtaining a flag and Presidential Certificate to honor my father’s service as an Air Force pilot during World War II. I have them displayed in my home and I know Daddy would have been proud to receive them. His military service meant a great deal to him. Thank you to the employees who came to our home. They were very kind and understanding. Their kindness was a ray of sunshine on a very sad day.”
I want to thank you for your help in the process of arranging the cremation for my brother. It is such a hard time, so your kindness, patience and guidance meant a great deal to me.
I want to reach out to you and personally thank you for the care and attention you gave to our family with my father-in-law’s funeral last week. Words cannot express what it meant to have someone as professional and accommodating shepherding us through this sudden and tragic loss. You were very understanding of the cost concerns and I do appreciate everything you did based on our business relations, but little did I know that was just the beginning. As you know, my wife and her siblings were the decision makers. It was not my place to make decisions on the final arrangements for the man who raised them, but I wanted them to have a choice of a person they could trust in a very dark time for them. I can’t thank you enough for being that person. It had a very big impact on the entire family and they all commented on your kindness, sincerity, and flexibility. The family was also very pleased with your facility as compared to the others they visited. They thought it was much nicer, brighter, and more welcoming; a fitting place to say goodbye to “Dad”. There were also impressed with your familiarity with the Buddhist ceremony and traditions. They were all honored as you bowed three times after placing the casket in the hearse. One family member even commented they thought they saw a tear in your eye during the ceremony at the crematory. You made a difficult situation a loving and warm goodbye, they all felt cared for and that their father was in good hands. Thanks again, you did a great thing for our family.
Thank you so much for all your help during a very difficult time. You made it so easy for me and I appreciate you taking the time to explain and review the decisions I needed to make following my Mom’s passing. Thank you again.
God bless you for the many kindnesses you have shown my family through this difficult time for us. And thanks for all you did to make my father’s service so perfect.
Please accept my deepest gratitude and appreciation for your extraordinary compassionate gesture. When the Presidential Certificate arrived, I was truly overwhelmed. My husband was very proud of his service in World War II, yet also humble about his service. I know that this certificate would have meant more to him than words can express. Our entire family thanks you. Please be assured this Certificate will be framed and proudly shared with all. Again, my deepest thanks.
I want to thank you for the Presidential Certificate in acknowledging my husbands service with the Marine Corp. It was a thoughtful and kind gesture of which he would be proud. Many thanks for your helping me to abide to his final wishes on his last voyage home.
I just wanted to send you a note telling you that the funeral turned out perfect. About 50 people came, mostly family and a couple of my old high school friends. The honor guard and flag made it so special and you personally delivering him was the greatest gift anyone could ever do for me. Thank you for everything you did to make his funeral so special to me.
We cannot begin to thank you and your staff for the beautiful service you provided for my sister. You made a very difficult time pass with dignity and class.
On behalf of my family, please accept our sincere thanks for coordinating our mothers arrangements. We were very pleased with your professional manner, listening to each of the children’s wants and needs and keeping us on task so that the end result was what my mom would have wanted. All of your services and recommendations were appreciated. Mom looked at peace and “herself”. The florist understood what we wanted and delivered it. The service in the home was cozy and personal. Thank you again for making what could have been chaotic into a pleasant and honorable event. My mother is truly at peace with her heavenly father.
I would like to thank Chris for all his help and support in the untimely death of my mother. He helped my family and myself during a really difficult time.

I am planning pre-burial services for myself and members of my family with your funeral home.

You made it so much easier for all of us and we appreciated how knowledgeable, compassionate and considerate you were to us in catering to all our needs. I just cannot thank you enough for all the extra caring things you did for us, freely from your heart. The prayer cards were amazing and beautiful, the service by the priest was very eloquent, the certificates were promptly sent, it was so thoughtful and caring of you to go above and beyond those extra miles for us.

I just received the acknowledgement from the president for my father’s service from WWII. I want to thank you most sincerely for your thoughtfulness. I am very touched by your kindness. Thank you once again, and I wish you well.
I am writing you today to express our warmest gratitude, and thanks for the outstanding manner you, Chris and your folks did in caring for Finn. We know that Finn is also grateful for the manner that you showed him. You were able to turn a very dreadful situation into one that was bearable. We know Finn is looking down smiling that he was able to return home to his family for his final interment. And that the same funeral home that has taken care of our family for the past seventy-two (72) years was also able to care for him during his final days here on earth. Finn would be especially grateful for being able to have a casket made here in American as his final resting place. He wasn’t a supporter of America’s manufacturing base being shifted offshore. The above meant a great deal to Finn. Again, thank you very much for your help, compassion, and understanding during our trying time.
I want to thank you for your “above and beyond” assistance in helping us in the matter of a recent patient of ours. Your availability, professionalism and compassion on behalf of the deceased, as well as those of us planning to honor the patient’s cremation preferences is very appreciated.
Your personalized services allowed me to create an event of which my husband would be proud. You listened so carefully and made fantastic suggestions that made the entire process very easy and personalized. You even agreed to test out a dvd I had created early Thanksgiving morning. It put my mind at ease that we would be ready for the next morning’s events and situation. Thank you so much for all you and Chris did to make the event memorable.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you and Chris for the wonderful service you provided me while saying goodbye to my husband.
I was overwhelmed to receive the Presidential Certificate, acknowledging my Dads service. Very thoughtful – Thank you.
Thank you for your professional care with a heart. I feel my mother was honored with dignity. She was a special person to many. I appreciate how you coached me through the process, Chris. Doing the poster was good therapy.
Thank you so much for all that you did for our family to make Josephine’s funeral such a tribute to her. Your care and understanding at this difficult time is so deeply appreciated by all of us. I know she is at peace now with her family and God in heaven.
This is to acknowledge the arrival of the Presidential Certificates. On behalf of my deceased brother Robert, and myself, the certificates will be treasured…they are most appreciated. Thank you so very much it was most thoughtful of you to send them.
On behalf of our family, I am writing to thank you for all of your thoughtful and kind help during our grief at the loss of Marty. You made our hard time easier to bear. We appreciate the way you allowed us to celebrate Marty’s life, it brought us great comfort.
I just want to say thank you for all the help and advice you gave me while dealing with my mother’s cremation. You were honest and straightforward and without your help and advice the other funeral home would have completely taken advantage of the situation. I really do appreciate all your guidance and have told everyone how wonderful you guys are.
I would like to thank you very much for everything you have done for my family and me. You were a lifesaver; I do not know what I would have done without your help. It was a shame I had to lose my brother so early but he’s in a better place.
Many many thanks for all you have done for our family pre and post planning for our Dad. Your kindness and caring words will always be remembered and your professionalism goes without saying. You’re a kind and wonderful person.
