Reviews of Newkirk & Whitney Funeral Home (Mortuary)

Stephanie Antonelli

Newkirk and Whitney Funeral Home provided exceptional care of our family and our young loved one who died suddenly. Jonathan, Janice and the entire staff are amazing. They were so compassionate, patient and caring. We are forever grateful for their support and guidance through the most painful time of our lives. They provided an amazing tribute service to celebrate the life of our family member. Their funeral home is beautiful, spacious and clean. They also provided a graveside service which gave our family peace and confort Jonathan and Janice went above and beyond and more to meet the needs of our family. We are so incredibly fortunate to have found Newkirk and Whitney. Without their involvement, our family would not have the comfort and peace that we now have.

On behalf of the Ferrer family, we want to express our sincere gratitude to the entire staff of Newkirk & Whitney Funeral Home in East Hartford, especially to Funeral Director, Christopher Jon Kulmacz ( an angel on earth) for the outstanding service provided to our family during our time of sorrow. We were treated like family and the attention to detail was impeccable. The passing of our beloved dad felt more like a celebration of his life because of the way we and our family and friends were treated by the staff. Thank you so much!

Absolutely awesome. Caring, compassionate service from the first phone call. Empathy and understanding for our personal situation. The best value for the service provided. The staff took exceptional care of every detail. They asked about my loved ones life and created a personalized service, paying tribute to and celebrating the life that was lived. My advice to anyone reading this, you only get once chance to get this type of event right. Chosing the right funeral home is crucial. I am glad we found Newkirk &Whitney, and will always call on them to provide service for our family and will recommend them to all of our friends. In my opinion, the staff at the Newkirk & Whitney Funeral Home will exceed your expectations in every way. Thank you to all of them.

Unfortunately I had to make arrangements to have services for my son. The shock and pain of a sudden death of a child is beyond describtion. I contacted Newkirk and spoke with Tiana and explained my situation. She immediately made me feel like I wasn’t alone and would be there to get me through. What she and Newkirk did for me and my family was beyond any kind of expectations we had. Dominic was a Veteran and she made sure he was buried with full Military Honors. They paid attention to all of details about him and even made sure that a Yankee game was on the TV during his service. At the beginning of a crisis as this you’re completely lost mentally and the only way our family made it through was the Courteous and Professionalism displayed by this wonderful group of people at Newkirk and Whitney that serve our community with the Highest Standards.
