"You're not looking for a discount funeral, you are looking for an affordable one."

At Sheenan Funeral Home, every family gets the best Sensitive Service a family can get at a very reasonable cost.

action movies, language.

Unfortunately, there is no one answer on how much it will cost. Each family is different and have their own needs. Also, there are an overwhelming number of choices, many of which people are completely unaware. To help people learn the true cost of a funeral, the funeral directors at Sheenan's offer to sit down and talk with anyone who asks about pricing. They will discuss all the appropriate options, and in some cases may be able to offer ways of having a more meaningful service which haven't been considered, or perhaps thought not to be possible. Personalized (and free) cost estimates are not a new idea. Tom Sheenan has been offering them for years.

Sheenan Funeral Home regularly cares for a wide range of families. Services run the gamut from simple direct services to funerals which have over two days of viewing, church services, services with many fraternal organizations and large processions to cemetery or crematory. Sheenan cares for all who call. They care for the loner as well as very popular people with an innumerable amount of friends and well-wishers. One of the many good points about the staff at Sheenan Funeral Home is that each and every person cared for gets the best possible dignified treatment, regardless of their position in life or checkbook.

Unfortunately, funeral homes and the funeral industry in general have not enjoyed many positive reports in the press. What's curious about this is that Sheenan Funeral Home very rarely gets a negative response from surveys sent in by the families they care for. National surveys have also demonstrated a positive public image for funeral service. This may be due to the general idea of "bad news sells." Also from most experiences that consumers have is that good quality often goes unnoticed, exceptional quality does get recognition and bad experiences get talked about forever.

There are easy ways to control costs. By funding a funeral in advance one can spare his or her family the financial responsibility at the time of need. Also, there is a way to lock in today's price by funding for a funeral in advance! See the section on Advance Planning for more information!
