"Nothing is more devastating then losing a loved one, you can never prepare yourself for it, even when they are unwell or elderly and it is expected.... having someone walk you through the loss, from start to finish, guiding you gently, reassuring you in your choices, allowing you an emotional break while you remember your loved one lost, listening to you and truly hearing you all while carrying the load of making sure your loved one is cherished throughout the process is the kind of service I received at Markey Dermody Funeral Home. The genuine nature of the staff and their concern for making you both as comfortable and as at peace as possible with your loss was paramount with the high level of excellence in service that they provided. Thank you for making my family & I feel so well cared for during such a difficult time. Keep doing 'the amazing' that each of you delivered. Much appreciation and gratitude."

Tyler was a wonderful support and was always there with an answer to my questions as well as having some excellent ideas that were very helpful. John was extremely helpful in navigating the government/business side of who and how to contact them. It was a load off my mind knowing he prepared the envelopes and other paperwork. Thank you."
