Why O'Connells?

You may notice that as you drive down the street or page through the phonebook, you are always given plenty of service options. Looking for a dentist? You could have 10 or more to choose from in certain areas. Need an oil change? There are plenty of places that are happy to help. Are you hungry? There is a restaurant on every corner. So how do you make your decision on where to go? What sets one place apart from the others?

The staff at the O’Connell Family Funeral Home realizes that the same goes for funeral services.



Every family we serve has a different idea of how they want to memorialize their loved one. Our funeral home staff approaches each family with the attitude of “You tell us what you want to do. We will do everything we can to make it happen.” This includes not just the services themselves, but the little details (i.e., setting up the funeral home for visitations, ordering flowers, setting up food, coordinating with musicians, churches, and cemeteries, etc). Our staff takes care of all the details so the families don’t have to. Now, while this should be expected of any funeral home, it isn’t always the case. With that in mind, we strive to anticipate and meet the needs of the families we serve. And, with every family, every service, and every situation, we do all we can to exceed the standards in what is provided.

These days, everyone knows that cost is also an issue. The phrases “More for your money” and “Worth the cost” come up a lot on a daily basis. If you are unsure what funeral home to use, the O’Connells encourage you to shop around and compare prices and services. That is because we know that ours can’t be beat. Even if competitors offer to match the prices, our services are unmatched.

You can go to any dentist and get your teeth cleaned or get your oil changed by any local mechanic. You can go to any restaurant and walk out full and you can go to any funeral home and get your funeral taken care of. But wouldn’t you prefer going to the best and leaving no doubt that everything was taken care of to the highest standards? Why go to just “some funeral home?” You have one chance to get the details right and to say goodbye to your loved ones in a memorable way that you deem appropriate. Why O’Connells? Because, we aren’t just another funeral home. Simply put, we are the best at what we do.

Why O’Connell’s? Because we make the things we do, for the families we serve, personal. In doing that, we have earned the reputation for being the best at what we do. We take that charge seriously and work hard to live up to those expectations everyday.
