Services
All of our licensed directors adhere to the highest standard of ethical practices and are committed to ensuring that all of your needs are attended to. Their commitment to the community and genuine compassion toward families are but a few of the characteristics that make them outstanding in their field.
No matter if a death is sudden, or if it something that was a long time coming, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed. No amount of preparation can fully prepare you for the loss of a loved one. When you are in a heightened emotional state, even the most basic decisions can seem staggering.
Traditionally, a burial service involves a visitation, followed by a funeral service in a church, or other place of worship. The casket is typically present at both these events, and it is your decision on whether to have the casket open or not. You have the option of having the remains interred (earth burial), or it may be entombed in a crypt inside a mausoleum (above ground burial).
Giving a meaningful, moving eulogy can be a nerve-wracking situation for even the most accomplished public speaker, but it need not be. How can you summarize somebody's life in a few short minutes, while being both somber and funny at the same time? Writing and delivering a eulogy is a therapeutic tool to help deal with your grief, and being chosen to give a eulogy is an honor and should be treated that way.

Tierney Funeral Home handled my brother's funeral service in August of 2020. He died unexpectedly at 45. They did an absolutely wonderful job! John Jr. handled all the arrangements and was respectful and tentative to my family's needs. This is not a situation people want to find themselves in and it was handled with grace and compassion. I am very grateful to the entire staff for making a difficult time less stressful. THANK YOU!

From the moment we met with the Tierney Family, we were calmed, assured and so carefully taken care of through the unknown world of planning for your loved one's passing. I will never forget the respect and care I received when our loved one, (our Dad) passed, I called Tom, at 2:30am, he met me in minutes dressed in a suit treated our Dad with dignity. The direction given for the memorial was appreciated and the day was nothing less than perfect and a beautiful memory for our family and friends. Thank you Tierney Family for going above and beyond at such a time of sorrow. The Slocum Family

Tom Tierney along with the whole staff where the most helpful and professional funeral directors in the business. There attention to detail in the last 3 funerals I unfortunately had to go to, my father's funeral being one of them, go the extra mile in taking care of all the last minute details making the experience as painless as possible. They took care of details after the funeral giving us the most relief in the time of grief. I just wanted to thank the whole Tierney staff for everything they provided for our family. Michael Hayward

When my dad passed away suddenly, almost two weeks ago, I chose a funeral home based on what came to mind, which was Holmes in Manchester. I had no experience with familial death, so there was no planning involved or thought to what we would do, since it was so sudden. When the new owner of Holmes arrived, (it had been sold the week before unbeknownst to me) the new owner talked over the exorbitant cost while my dad’s body was lying 10 ft. from me. I was hysterical after just watching my dad struggle for his last breath. We sat down in the kitchen and he proceeded to ask me a couple of questions
