When my brother passed away, I did not know what funeral home to use or what I needed to do. My family and I chose McHoul Funeral Home and it was a positive choice. Tom was kind, understanding, and very helpful. He communicated and answered our questions promptly. I felt respected and was impressed with his ability to guide me through what I needed to do. Our family wishes him and his family all the best in 2024.

I want to thank Tom for the amazing support he showed my family during the planning of my uncle funeral. It was a very difficult time for my mother and Tom went above and beyond to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Thanks again.

They were incredible and so respectful. Losing a loved one is already hard and Mc Houl people really took care of everything. We didn’t have to worry about a thing - down to our tradition of Vietnamese Buddhist ceremony. We really appreciate you guys!

McHoul Family Funeral Home was absolutely amazing. On top of the tremendous grief that comes with loosing a loved one, handling the final arrangements can be a tremendous weight. Tom, the main person we were in contact with, was very empathetic and understanding. He ensured that our experience was smooth and he went above and beyond to accommodate our request. He seemed to to be available for us at anytime and kept us fully informed every step of the process. I highly recommend this funeral home for your funeral needs. -The Boyce family

My brother Fred passed away tragically last week. I thought planning a funeral would be hard. Tom from McHoul's funeral home made everything easy. Me and my family sat and gave him all the details of my brother's life and things he loved. My brother was very loved and I knew he was going to have a huge celebration. Tom came through with the best of the best. They greeted the hundreds of people who walked through the door with the deepest sympathy and showed them the way through. When I thought we had the best of the best Tom called with something else he thought would be a good detail. Every idea was amazing! We had time to mourn the loss of my brother Fred and they took care of everything else. They were simply amazing and I couldn't have done this without them. It was more than what I expected. Amazing celebration of life!

A sincere Thank You to Tom and his team regarding our recent experience at McHouls. I noticed a common theme among the testimonials on their website and I can tell you we had the same experience. Tom was accomodating and flexible to all our needs. I should also mention that their pricing was very competitive and fair. The services went smoothly. Our family was glad to have a local community business handle our father's service.

The McHoul Family Funeral Home has been amazing to me and my family. In the midst of already dealing with hardship and sorrow, Tom, the main person we were in contact with, was very empathetic and understanding. He ensured that our experience was smooth and he went above and beyond for us. I can’t thank him enough for being so kind to my family. I highly recommend this funeral home for your funeral needs. Especially for the Vietnamese community, Tom was awesome. I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to find a culturally competent funeral home for my Vietnamese family but I was overjoyed with this service. They are professionals with working with the Vietnamese community and have connections in Vietnam as well. 11/10 experience, we will for sure be coming back for future services.

McHoul helped our family prepare all arrangements in a fast and smooth manner. Their accommodations to ensure the wake & ceremony happens on the day of our choosing were extremely appreciated. Tom (immediate response) & ensured the process would run as planned and made the experience whole heartily peaceful. The ride to home & St. Williams Cemetery went perfectly and Mom was extremely happy to see all friends/family members going all the way. Thank you for providing the best service in giving my Mother's last day as peaceful as can be! RIP MOM.

McHoul Funeral Home (Dorchester, MA) & services have been amazing to say the least. Professional, personal and compassionate are just some of the attributes I can write. Tom James has been extremely helpful and attentive to details. He and his services come highly recommended. Filing the paperwork was made simplistic and the services for our brother were comforting & professional. We cannot thank Tom and the McHoul Funeral home enough for the exceptional farewell to our brother. Please consider these kind and caring professionals if you’re in need of a smooth and soulful goodbye for your loved ones. Tom went above and beyond for our brothers transition to everlasting light. Thank you ❤️

I want to sincerely thank McHoul's for taking care of our Nana Mac. The professionalism, honor and dignity they presented for our Nana was heartfelt. Eleanor MacCormack worked and lived in Dorchester 95 years of her 98 year's on Earth. Thanks to McHouls', Nana is now in North Lauderdale Florida with her daughter Barbara Nugent (1939-2000) and will rest in peace in a beautiful sunny resting place. Thank You, The Nugent Family
