We couldn’t be happier with Don and Monarch Cremation Service. He is very kind, patient, professional with our family going above and beyond to help us put my dad to rest. My dad passed in the middle of the night and he came to us within an hour. Then for personal reasons, we wanted to wait three days for the cremation. Even though this was not customary, he worked with us. Then we couldn’t decide if we wanted to watch the cremation or not. He again, was so very patient with us and accommodated our wishes. Finally, there was an issue with the death certificate. Again, he was professional, patient and accommodating. It take a special person to do this work. Thank you Don!

This letter was sent to the Veterans Administration about our services to a veteran:

I wish to acknowledge with deep appreciation the kindness and support shown to my family during my Father’s funeral from Mr. Donald Bouchard of Monarch Funeral Home. My financial situation prevented me from giving my father a proper burial> My father was a veteran without any money to his name. When, I turned to Mr. Bouchard’s assistance he immediately agreed to help and did his utmost to provide a funeral preparation at the lowest possible cost. All of this was done in order to give a veteran a dignified burial. He made everything easy for my family at a time of such sorrow.
Mr. Bouchard demonstrated professionalism and competence during the entire ceremony and provided a beautiful white coffin covered with the American Flag. He arranged for full Military Honors for y father. His soothing words brought comfort and hope to all in attendance. I will always be grateful that my father was buried with such dignity. All this could not have been possible without Mr. Bouchard’s complete understanding and involvement.

“Services that Don (Monarch Cremation) provided were extremely unorthodox. With no known or physically/mentally handicapped sibling, I didn’t know what to do. Don went above and beyond what anyone would have expected. Tracking down his service records and ensuring a proper burial in the Veterans cemetery. As a veteran marine who saw active duty, John received the funeral and burial he deserved. That only happened because Don Bouchard worked hard and didn’t stop until the job was done. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Don. I will recommend and use his services when the time presents itself again.”
