Services
We at French & Rising Funeral Home appreciate the individual, and we celebrate the value that each person brings to the lives of others. In 1930 Marshall French founded a funeral Home in Goffstown Village to meet the needs of a growing community. Clinton O. Rising Jr. became a partner of the firm in 1941 then succeeded Mr. French in 1950.
Planning a funeral can be overwhelming, but you are not alone in this. We're here to support you throughout this journey and make this process one of love, healing, and life celebration. Below is some information to help you get started, but you can contact us at any time if you need help.

When a loved one dies at home or in a place that isn't a healthcare facility, you'll need to contact emergency personnel before they can be taken into our care.If your loved one was under medical care, it's a good idea to call their physician as well. If your loved one dies in a healthcare facility, they will notify the proper authorities, including the funeral home you have chosen to care for your loved one if they know that information.
Planning a funeral service can be a very difficult process for families who have just lost a loved one. But it's important to provide those who are grieving with a supportive environment in which they can begin to find closure, say goodbye, and come to terms with the loss.

Gathering with friends and family gives everyone the opportunity to connect, share memories, offer words of sympathy, and create a lasting network of comfort and support as they start the journey toward healing.Immediate burial means that your loved one will be buried or entombed without a public service or gathering.
A funeral represents a purposeful opportunity to reflect on the meaning of a life that has been lived and to determine the impact of that meaning for the family and friends. There is no single proper funeral service. It is a time for human sharing in its deepest sense. You and the ones you love are at the very center of the process, and the choices you make will determine its significance for you.
The number of people choosing cremation has increased significantly in the past few years, yet cremation carries a long tradition and remains largely unchanged. Cremation simply expedites the process of reducing a body to bone fragments through application of intense heat. What is done before or after the cremation is up to the survivors, or up to you.

If I could give them negative stars, I would. I went and paid for my husband’s death certificate in person at the funeral home on Friday August 20th. Which is 3 weeks ago today. The director told me someone was running to city hall as we spoke that day, and he would send mine out later that day. Several days went by and I never received it. I called and always reached a secretary who told me she would take a message and have the director call me back. I never received a call back. I called almost every day for over a week and a half, leaving a message with the secretary to receive a call back

My fathers funeral was here, and we appreciated the care and attention we were given during the preparations for his service. The small, home-like feel of the rooms were very calming.
