“After having lost my husband unexpectedly, I do not feel I have adequate words to share for how kind and compassionate my family and I were treated by the Connell Funeral Home staff. We dealt with Klarissa and she was amazing, I will be forever grateful to her for her patience and her time in allowing us a safe place to share our grief and our concerns. Any questions we had were answered with kindness and respect, as well as reaching out to us when all was done. It is a sad time when we need to reach out for a loved ones passing, but the peace I felt throughout the process in working with Klarissa and the Connell staff will never be forgotten.”
