“Even though I had to do the most heart breaking thing. I made sure my baby brother had a beautiful service. I could have not been more proud. Everything for once I planned came together so so so beautiful. Thank you Cartmell-Davis Funeral & Cremation for helping make this emotional situation so soothing and calming giving the circumstances. John you are phenomenal at your job! Thank you so much to your staff for an outstanding job with extra needs my family needed on short notices. They offered to park people cars so they didn’t have to walk far. The list goes on, they seriously went above and beyond. Most importantly you took and prepared my brother so nicely. Thank you again for all your help!”
“From the moment we met John and Jeff, we felt completely at ease and comfortable knowing our mom was in the care of Cartmell-Davis Funeral Home. She was treated with the utmost respect and dignity, like she was part of their own family. On the day of the service, everything ran smoothly, and the staff showed great professionalism and attention to detail. They put together a beautiful service that truly honored our mom’s life. We are so grateful for their kindness, care, and support during such a difficult time. ~ Cheryl, Kristyne and Craig Service of Marcia (Sturtevant) Hathaway ❤️”

“I attended a wake this evening for a close family friend at the north Plymouth location and all I can say is how impressed I was. From how the flow of the line and how things flowed smoothly was top notch. Working in the funeral industry you always think when you have to go to another funeral home you look at things a little closer. Cartmell Davis was clean well Maintained and the help was professional and caring. Back in 1998 Cartmell Funeral Home handled the arrangements for my grandmother and I knew then they were top notch and do a fabulous job. Thank you Cartmell Davis staff for helping the Melanson Family with the process of laying their loved one to rest.”
