our experience

I felt that Clancy was very helpful during this difficult time. I expressed my gratitude to Chris. We thought he was sincere and did such a wonderful job at the burial to recognize my dad as a veteran. It truly was beautiful and my dad would have been so proud. Marie

Excellent service!

Chris Palumbo and his staff were wonderful during our time of need. He was so supportive and led us through every step of what we needed to do. At a time like this, one isn't usually thinking clearly and Chris was there to offer suggestions and direct us in every way. He wasn't pushy and made us very comfortable. I highly recommend Clancy Funeral Home and Chris Palumbo and the entire staff.

James O'Neill funeral

I was impressed and completely satisfied with the services for my uncle that were conducted at Clancy Fneral Home in East Haven. Chris Palumbo and his staff were cordial and completely professional in dealing with my family during a difficult time. The funeral home itself was neat and clean and there was plenty of room for my aunt and uncles large families. The funeral home was needed for calling hours the night before the church service. This was the funeral directors sole responsibility to our family, however, he went above and beyond by being at the church service the next morning. There he made sure all of our needs were met, escorted my uncles family in and out of church and stayed for the entire mass. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of the Clancy Funeral Home staff. I will use them again and would highly recommend them.

Went above and beyond!

Chris Palumbo and his staff are amazing. At a time that is most difficult for families, Chris and his staff were very sensitive, thoughtful, caring and thorough. They went above and beyond what most people would do. They left nothing to chance and were there for the family after the wake ended and after the funeral. We never worried about anything. My family and I would recommend Clancy to everyone. They made a hard time in our lives much more bearable and beautiful. We will be forever grateful to Chris and his staff.

Professional – Considerate – Compassionate

The title line says it all – at a time of extreme sadness, Chris Palumbo of Clancy’s Funeral Home made our life easier beginning with the first phone call to decide which funeral home to use for my mom – and my family is grateful that we chose Chris/Clancy’s. He explained everything upfront, gave us options that we would never have thought of on our own (sunset funeral mass which was just so beautiful) – listened to our suggestions and incorporated them as best he could. Although it was under these circumstances, we were pleased as to how everything was handled – a big thank you to Chris and his staff.

Clancy Funeral Home provided excellent service.

My family was so pleased with Clancy Funeral Home's services. Chris Palumbo was understanding of our specific needs and worked with us and we couldn't have been happier. We were able to enjoy the services and not worry about the small details. We can not thank him enough. I would recommend Clancy Funeral Home to anyone.

Chris Palumbo goes above and beyond the call of duty.

From the first visit with Chris Palumbo where he left a basketball game with him sons to come consult with our family, to placing the last rock on my mother-in-laws grave, he was the consummate professional. This is a man who has compassion when it is needed most. He took care of EVERYTHING, even things we weren't thinking we needed. During a torrential down poor during the grave side ceremony Chris made sure all of us were dry while he was soaking wet. He even thought to bring a box of dry dirt for us to throw on the casket so we didn't have to stick our hands in the mud. He knew more about the Jewish burial than any of us.
We hope we don't need to call Chris to bury another family member any time soon, but we would recommend him and Clancy Funeral Home to anyone. If you are looking for exceptional service, look no further than Chris and Clancy Funeral Home.

A lovely experience to deal with an unfortunate situation

My younger brother passed away recently and when looking to make arrangements we came upon Clancy Funeral Home. This was my family’s first time dealing with Clancy and I honestly do not have a negative thing to say. They were wonderful. Chris could not have been any nicer to my family, He is truly a sincere individual that treats you with respect and takes the time necessary to go over everything and answer any question you may have. The day of the service was very nice and everything about it was very welcoming and comfortable. Death is unfortunately something we all have to deal with be it young and unexpected or due to old age /disease. No matter what the case I would definitely recommend Clancy Funeral Home to help you lay your loved ones to rest.

Thank You So Very Much!

Our family was extremely pleased with the services we received from Chris and Clancy Funeral Home after the passing of our mother.
Chris was both professional and patient explaining the entire process to us in a clear and concise manner.
All of our wants and needs for our mother were respected and the end result was exactly what we wanted.
If you are in need of funeral services, Clancy Funeral Home will guide you through the process like they were part of your family.
Thank you again for all that you did for us and all you do for others.

A caring & professional company

In a time of loss of a loved one more than ever it is so important to have a person who is a caring and professional. Chris Palumbo, director of Clancy's Funeral home in East Haven, Ct has exceeded all my families expectations during our time of grief. Till this day he continues to help us with any questions or concerns we may have. I highly recommend his funeral services by far. In a time when good customer service is so scarce, Chris Palumbo delivers impeccable service.

Experience with the Clancy Funeral Home

I recently used the Clancy Funeral Home to handle the services for my Father. Chris Palumbo was so very professional and accommodating in taking care of arrangements. He is truly an exceptional funeral director and very understanding in assisting the families through their time of sorrow.
I would highly recommend his Funeral Home to anyone I know that would be in need of his services.
