We’re here to help you create the most memorable and meaningful service to honor your loved one.

It is never easy dealing with the loss of a loved one, but Ballard-Durand helped us through the process and were thoughtful every step of the way. Matthew Fiorillo and his team were compassionate, courteous, and professional. We highly recommend them when the unfortunate, but invevitable, need arises.

Losing my mother has been one of the most difficult experiences of my life, but the care, compassion, and professionalism shown by Ballard-Durand brought us comfort during an incredibly painful time.
From the first phone call, the staff treated our family with genuine empathy and respect. Rebecca and Lauren guided us through every step of the process with patience and kindness, helping us make thoughtful decisions while honoring our mother's wishes.
The service was beautifully arranged—dignified, peaceful, and exactly what we had hoped for. Every detail, from the floral arrangements to the printed materials and the coordination on the day of the service, was handled with sensitivity and care.
We are so grateful for the support we received before, during AND after the services. I deeply appreciate how Ballard-Durand helped us say goodbye to our mother with grace and love. Thank you for making such a difficult time a little bit easier.

My mother's passing was the most difficult thing I have ever experienced and Joe made the burden so much lighter to bear. He even help me choose the best head veil for her. He contacted the insurance company in went through the whole process of receiving payment from them. Jillian who came to the church and that was my first time meeting her gave me such an embrace I felt at ease to just cry on her shoulders for a spell. They made Mama look so good all the family and friends spoke about just how beautiful Mama looked. I can truly say when the life of your loved one is turned over to the Lord the best funeral home would be Ballard-Durand. God bless you guys for your heart of compassion and your servant spirit!
