Dear Brian, The kids and I want to thank you so very much for helping to give Paul such a wonderful "send off". You made those very difficult days much easier to get through. Everything was perfect!

I just want to express my heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Anderson Funeral Home of Ayer. Since 2006 when my mom passed I have been a frequent visitor to their facility for the passing of my nephew, friends parents, friends and most recently my mother-in-law and the staff has been the most gracious, professional and pleasant people to work with during this difficult time in our lives. I whole-heartedly recommend this facility for the care and decency they give to our loved ones who is no longer with us and the care, comfort and peace of mind they give to us knowing that they are taking care of our loved ones. Thank you Brian, Josh and the other staff members.

Subject: Robert Rix Message: I did not see anyplace on your home page to leave a review. I just wanted to express my thanks for such an impressive experience arranging for my fathers funeral. Alex made this very difficult process so incrediably easy for us. I have never had to deal with arrangements like this before and she answered all our questions and made the process seamless. Even with a couple of issues such as last minute arrangements for a 21 gun salute to honor my fathers service during WWII and the doctors not filling out the death certificate properly, she got it done. I hope I'm never in a position to offer recommendations or the needs for this service again but if the occasion should arise, I will highly recommend the services of Anderson. Kudos to Alex, thank you so much.

To Brian and the staff, Thank you for all you did to give our Mom a beautiful and memorable service. The military honors were such a blessing and we know she would've been proud. As I've said before, everything exceeded our expectations. You were able to display the saw she painted better than I could have imagined and I loved being able to spread her personal items throughout. I love how personal the guestbook is and all the print materials were so well done. Forever grateful, Hillary LaMay and Family

Brian and his staff were wonderful to help us through this difficult time when our mother died. Numerous phone calls were answered with kindness and respect. In a time when it’s difficult to gather thoughts and make decisions they were patient and very caring to help guide us. Our special requests during this COVID pandemic were honored and respected. Thank you Brian and your staff. The family of Theresa Honkala
