“While losing a loved one is never a pleasant experience, Chris and the Jowdy-Kane team made the entire process as easy as possible. We are a large family with a lot of factors and opinions, but we all felt heard, understood, and prioritized. The location is spacious and comforting, and they truly take care of every detail. Our entire family is still talking about Chris— from the moment he came to our home after my grandmother passed until the burial was over, he was nothing but supportive, patient, and kind. His presence immediately put us all at ease, and his professionalism allowed us to make incredibly difficult decisions more easily and confidently. He never made us feel pressured, rushed, or stuck, and has the patience of a saint. I do not know what we would have done this week without Chris, and am deeply grateful for his support. The celebration of her life was beautiful, they accommodated all of our wishes and specifications for the services, and it was all taken care of with such minimal effort on our part. I would recommend Jowdy-Kane to anyone who needs their services. And Chris, thank you infinitely for everything you did for us.”
“We had the pleasure of working with the Jowdys to handle my father's services. Not only were they professional and kind, but the final total came to less than expected and the difference returned. Highly recommended.”
“They walked my family through the whole process and made arrangements very easy and seamless. I highly recommend their services to anyone in the area. The integrity and professionalism they show is next to no one in the greater Danbury area.”
“I want to thank everyone at Jowdy-Kane Funeral Home for everything they did for us in helping us with arrangements for my Father-in-law, especially Chris. They were so responsive and compassionate, and they made everything so easy for my husband. I would definitely recommend them.”
