Recently I called the Beecher & Bennett funeral home to ask advice on how to have the veterans attend my brother’s burial , at Walnet Grove. He had passed in Florida and we were having a private burial in CT. I just expected a phone number to call, but they told me they would handle all the arrangements for the Vets to attend. They did just so, and it was an honor for us to have the Vets there that day. All went smoothly thanks to the Beecher Bennett Funeral Home.

I would like to thank the entire staff for doing a wonderful job with my father’s funeral. When I initially made pre-plans for his funeral several years ago, it was such a comforting feeling knowing that when the day would come of his passing, that everything was going to be alright, and it was. I can’t thank you enough.
