These are great people. They are very attentive to their customers.
These are great people. They are very attentive to their customers.
The staff is wonderful, cost is more than reasonable. Make sure you compare others first. Make sure you check this place out before making your decision!!! There are certain funeral homes (one, that I know of in South Berwick which shall remain nameless) that offer prepaying of services and then try to change the contract with the survivors; charging more than the contracted amount.
A wonderful staff. They are very professional and very caring. Highly recommended!
Adam R. Walker is my nephew and has many years in the Funeral Business managing and working all levels of the business. I am very proud of him because he is very genuine, sensitive, and wants to do what is needed to comfort each family. He does not designate parts of the business to other employees. He is completely envolved with meeting families, sale represenatives on a personal level, and always doing as much personal work as possible. I believe you will enjoy meeting Adam R. Walker stop in just to meet him .
The love and care we received as a family was more than we expected, and the beautiful setting at their State St. Home made a very difficult day more bearable, the owner Adams interaction with our family made us feel very much at ease. Their professionalism and knowledge was very appreciated when they visited our home. Thanks so much. Tony Napolitano jr.
Unbelievable place. Made a very difficult time as easy as it could have been. Adam and staff were amazing. Everything turned out better than we could have imagined. From the family of Richard Neuts- we thank you all. 
I can not express how thankfull I am. Best put, Amazing. The professionalism is above reproach. The staff Ms. Dodds and owner, Mr. Walker were phenomenal shepherds for my late mothers funeral.
Adam, Caitlyn and their entire team were so wonderful to work with to help coordinate all arrangements for my father's Wake, Funeral, and Celebration of Life. They spent time to get to know Dad, what was important to him and our family, and then customized everything to make sure his spirit was reflected throughout the events. Thank you for making a tough time much easier for our family!
Dan, Adam and Caitlin and all the staff were very kind and comforting through all the funeral stages. They made it easier for us at our time of sorrow. They were very organized, helpful and accommodating. The State Street Funeral home was elegant and comfortable. Many well-wishers commented how lovely it was.
Adam and Dan and Caitlin are the best at what they do. I never thought I'd be writing a review for a funeral home but because they are so special I just had to. Thanks for all your kindness and attention to detail.
They were so caring and went above and well beyond my family’s expectations. I highly recommend using their services.
Conroy-Tully Walker funeral home exceeded expectations for my dad’s funeral. I found them to be thorough and conscientious in the planning, and easing a difficult time for our family. Joe Donovan
The Conroy-Tully Walker team did an incredible job guiding us through the arrangements process. Alissa demonstrated her deep knowledge and professionalism every step of the way in the selection of services and she did this with patience and kindness. Caitlyn Walker wrote a beautiful tribute and performed a flawless Memorial service. Adam and Caitlyn Walker made sure the visiting hours, celebration of life and graveside Military Honors, all held on the same day were executed perfectly. My mother, sister and I could not have been more satisfied with our choice. Thank you for making a difficult time easier.
Conroy-Tully Walker, especially Alissa, made one of the hardest times of my life so much easier. The building is gorgeous, the service was perfect, but above all the staff were beyond polite, helpful, and kind. I felt my father was in the right hands.
I have planned funerals for a handful of family members and am familiar with the process. I was completely blown away by the attention to detail and services provided by Adam and the team at Conroy Tully Walker. They went above and beyond to personalize the services, take care of every detail that was important, not only to me, but to each family member, and even helped with the daunting paperwork that one hates to deal with upon the death of a loved one.
I would like to take a moment and give a thanks to Alissa Dodds at Conroy-Tully Walker for the wonderful job that she did helping me plan my loved ones funeral. In the midst of the grief of losing my mom, Alissa was a champion. She was kind and caring. I felt so much peace knowing she was looking after my mother. The services were compassionate and professional. I would highly recommend this funeral home and especially Alissa. She made a very difficult time a whole lot easier! Thank you for everything! I will never forget what peace you brought to me and my family during a most difficult time.
Treat you really good during a really hard time. I highly recommend them.
A lifetime of support and help navigating a very difficult time. Always, always helpful, kind and ready to assist. Can't recommend more highly. Our family has been going here for decades - and the quality service never diminishes. Thank you!
Wonderful family owned funeral home. The owners and staff are very professional and friendly.
Attentive and caring.
During the most difficult time in my life, Black Funeral Homes went above and beyond in helping me give my Husband the funeral he wanted, a green burial. It means so much to me knowing my loved one was in such good hands and gave my husband the respect and dignity he deserved. Even following up to make sure I was doing alright. Good people. So professional.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Black funeral homes, Dan from the moment I walked in the door it was nothing but kindness and support .Dan helped us through the loss our mother. He did such a perfect job from the beginning of planning the services to the very end and beyond . Still checks in with me from time to time.
Thank you 😊🙏
The folks at carll-heald and black funeral home made everything easy for my family during our time of grievance. They were very helpful and gave us all the necessary information without any pressure. Even after the service they still reached out to see if there were anything else they can help with, which is amazing.
Michael and the team at Black Funeral home provided our family great service and support following my Moms recent passing.
I cannot say enough good things about Black Funeral Home. My husband died very unexpectedly last month and they went above and beyond helping me with the arrangements. Dan was patient explaining everything and very compassionate. To say thank you does not seem enough.
This facility was everything I hoped for, actually my experience w/Black Funeral exceeded any expectations I had! The staff went above and beyond with any questions and concerns I had. They were kind, compassionate, and very professional. Of course none of us want to need this kind of service, but we all have to at some point and Black is a 10* place.
Black Funeral Home and their staff were top shelf from start to finish. They handled my Father's services with the utmost respect and attention to detail. The overall arrangements were complicated as they required transport from out-of-state. They were handled with ease. Even during the planning phase months in advance, staff made time to accommodate my questions and allowed all the time I needed to make decisions. I wanted to offer my vote of confidence for their services and make this public thank you for all they did for my family.
I recently lost my teen son and father. From the first time we stepped into the home, the staff were some of the most compassionate, kind, thoughtful and informative people I've ever met. They worked at our pace, ensuring every necessary detail was accounted for. My family members were cremated, and I have no doubt, that they were treated with the utmost respect and care. If you want your loved ones, and yourself, to be treated with love and respect, please consider reaching out to them. They will be here for you, long after their services have been utilized.
Very nice and compassionate group of people. My experience with my Dad’s cremation and services was wonderful. Dave was so helpful and patient. Thank you
Everyone at Black Funeral Home was so understanding, sympathetic and helpful during a very difficult time. Candis was kind and caring while arranging for cremation and navigating us through every detail making it seamless. She even checked in on us a month later to see how the family was doing. I can’t say enough about how well taken care of we were.
Through this horrible experience of losing a loved one, Black funeral home has been a godsend. The whole staff is very kind, compassionate, patient and professional. I have dealt mostly with David he has and is nothing short of wonderful.
Their thoughtfulness & time spent with my sister's & brother, ..making sure that everything was perfect for us and making our Mom look as we remember her to look, ..was exceptional. Danny was always there for us and always got us the answers we needed and made us feel very comfortable at the funeral home and going through this painful experience. I will always recommend them to anyone. Thank you very much. - Kim Brennick
I had met with Adam a few years ago to prepare funeral arrangements for myself and my husband and was extremely pleased with his warmth and concern that put me at ease for the future care that I would receive. The time came last Thursday when I would need his help in preparing for my husband’s services. The care and respect received from Adam and his staff was beyond reproach and very caring.
Staff was very friendly and courteous. Building was clean and neatly organized, driveways were clear of snow and ice.
Gracious and professional. Staff was extremely helpful and supportive during a time of great stress for our family. Have faith we and ours were in the best hands imaginable during this most trying of times. Many thanks to Adam Walker and staff at Conroy-Tully Walker for their excellent advice and counsel.
Excellent customer service every time I call!
I received all requested information promptly. Alissa Dodds even called me personally to be sure I was all set with what I needed.
Very kind and prompt service. I would highly recommended Conroy-Tully Funeral Homes !!
I have planned funerals for a handful of family members and am familiar with the process. I was completely blown away by the attention to detail and services provided by Adam and the team at Conroy Tully Walker. They went above and beyond to personalize the services, take care of every detail that was important, not only to me, but to each family member, and even helped with the daunting paperwork that one hates to deal with upon the death of a loved one.
Adam and his staff were extremely warm , considerate, And very professional. I had no idea of all the details that needed to be made at such a difficult time in somebody's life. I am so thankful and grateful for their support and service.
Very professional and caring team from beginning to finalizing arrangements. Thank you so much for easing our anxiety. Excellent.
Business with a Funeral Home is not what one want's for themselves or their families, but when the need arises, I have found Conroy-Tully Walker to be the best at what they do.
With extreme compassion, the Walker family guides you through the options available to make the best decisions when, frankly, your mind is scrambled with sorrow at the loss of a loved one.
Unfortunately, My family has had to use these services several times over the last decade and we found that this funeral home has made this experience as comforting as possible.
The entire process from intake through burial is handled with utmost professionalism and care.
If needed, I highly recommend Conroy-Tully Walker Funeral Homes.
Excellent service provided, very caring and professional. A1 in all aspects. Highly recommend.
Conroy-Tully Walker made the experience of saying goodbye to my Mom as easy as it could possibly be. Alissa and Adam went above and beyond helping me arrange a funeral and burial from out of state. When I say they were caring and professional in every aspect from meeting in person, advising me, checking on me, ordering flowers that matched my scant description ...I really mean they exceeded my expectations of what a funeral home would provide to their customers. I just can't recommend them any more confidently. This funeral home handled my grandmother's services in 1968 and I wouldn't have gone any place else for my mother, they gave me so much peace at a very difficult time. If I could give them more stars I would.
David & Alyssa were wonderful, they were able to help us through everything during those hard times and made the process easy. David was tremendous he works with other religions to accommodate our beliefs and he is extremely knowledgeable. Thank you so much for making this tough process so easy.
While our experience isn't fully over, I'll say that when we first arrived brokenhearted and confused the Director made us feel much better about what's always a sad experience.
I have a blended family, so writing an obituary was going to be a daunting experience.
Again, that was handled well and with grace. For such a sad endeavor, I'd recommend this place.
Flawless operation. Everybody says the same thing. So personable and professional. It’s almost like they anticipated our every need. Something so difficult was made to be so easy.
I would highly recommend Conroy-Tully Walker to anyone. Alissa Dodds was such a wonderful funeral director. She made a very difficult time so much easier. She is caring and profession. The funeral service was flawless and I felt like she truly cared about my loved one. She looked after every detail and helped to make a very difficult time a little easier for me and my family. Thank you Alissa, I will not soon forget your kindness during the whole process.
As a fourth generation funeral director, I rely upon a network of colleagues to help me if one of my client families experiences a death out of state. In southern Maine, I know I can count on Adam Walker and his team. I turn to them because if my family had a loss in that area, they are who I would call. I’m thankful for the professionalism and care that I know I can rely upon.
This was my first experience making these decisions for my family laying my Dad to rest.
David Karl handled all our arrangements with kindness, thoughtfulness, and respect.
It was a beautiful day of celebration. We were guided through every step making it a day to remember for it’s beauty and simplicity.
I can't say enough about the truly caring, professional experience we've had with Conry-Tully Walker funeral homes. As difficult as these times are for our family, they have taken much of the burden from us and worked with every small detail in a concerned and caring way.
Can't say enough good about these folks. They are so very good at what they do. At a time when everything is hard, they put you very much at ease.
David is absolutely the best! My dearest brother's arrangement last month was exceptional. It was hard to be fully confident entrusting a company for something like this sight unforeseen being the family is 7+ hours away but the communication and reassurance provided was evident when we arrived. The home, the quality of care for my brother comforted us considering the occasion. I want to thank you again David and Conroy-Tully Walker FH for the care you provide to our loved ones and the compassion and professionalism to the families. I would definitely recommend for services.
Very personable, sincere and kind ! they are a great help when in a time of sorrow and not thinking straight. very professional. thanks Adam !
We had a very nice experience with Conroy Tully. They were very caring and explained all the procedures that we would go through in a relaxing manner that made us feel at ease. Over all experience is 5 stars!
Also, they followed up several weeks later to see how we were and if there was anything we needed to let them know!!
Very satisfying experience. Kind considerate caring and respectful and professional.
The Conroy-Tully Walker team treated us very professionally, sympathetically, caring and accommodating!
At a time of great loss and pain, it’s comforting to know someone is guiding you down the path of saying your final goodbye to a loved one. Conroy Tully Walker, specifically Alissa, were wonderful. Alissa’s professionalism, knowledge and supportive manner calmed my family when we felt we were in the middle of an emotional storm.
The caring they extended to my husband, who passed tragically, eliminated so many concerns and worries. Alissa took us on as if we were personal members of her family. We are so appreciative of the excellent compassionate arrangements that were carried out without a misstep.
My family would highly recommend Conroy Tully Walker.
Conroy-Tully Walker staff were caring right from the pickup of the body. They are dedicated to their customers, answering our question upon question. They are honest and work within their customers budgets. They made us feel like family and that there was nothing more important to them but our happiness and satisfaction. Many thanks from the family of Edward P. Killinger.
The people was really nice. They helped us . The inside was really clean and nice.
Adam and everyone at Conroy-Tull Walker Funeral were very caring and extremely professional and listened attentively and followed all of our requests to make this time of grieving as comfortable as possible. Our family all Thank You so much for helping us through this very difficult time.
Wonderful staff, attention to detail, very comforting and professional
My family and I cannot say enough about the wonderful job the entire staff did when my husband Jack passed away suddenly!!! They were all SOO compassionate and caring and have continued to offer support and help in any way necessary!! We asked Adam to help us make his funeral a true celebration of his life and ours and sure enough he did that and more!! Jack was an avid golfer, Adam suggested that we bring his clubs in and much to our surprise he displayed them in such a way that it brought smiles to all of us with friends still commenting!!Caitlin put a fabulous video together that we will enjoy forever!!
Can't thank them enough !!
Patsy and family
They were exceptional in making sure that everything was perfect for our Mom, and for all of us kids who were mourning. They made us comfortable and made sure that all questions and concerns were taken care of. Danny was great, as well as the rest of the staff. Would highly recommend.
The owner, Adam, went above and beyond for my family and I. We had issues with another funeral home that was mistreating my family and our loved one, so he went and transferred her here. He was very welcoming and comforting and even brought his dog to comfort us as well. They really did an amazing job. I recommend this place if you want your loved one taken care of respectfully and to have an easy process during the mourning period.
These folks are dedicated to making this difficult time much easier. They were all very caring and attentive to every detail. My family is extremely grateful to the ENTIRE staff.
Very supportive and understanding. The after care was a nice addition to help ensure various things like credit cards, credit bureau, etc. are taking care of quickly.
They were wonderful with recent death of Mary Earley. Burial ceremony was held at calvary cemetery. They were professionals, comforting and considerate to the family.Sincerely Earley Family
Sometimes people are faced with the difficult realities life throws at you, a life lost too soon. When my wife and I lost our son last year, Conroy-Tully Walker helped our family through THE darkest time of our lives. They were real, they were kind and they were compassionate. When looking for a funeral home in the area, you should know one thing; they are going to treat you as if you were their family because that’s what families do, they are there for each other. Thank you CTW staff for a long overdue thank you.
I have attending many wakes and funerals under the direction of Conroy, Tully & Walker and just have to say their facilities are spotless both inside and out, the staff are absolutely amazing and are so kind and helpful.
I have witnessed their attention to detail while providing the absolute amazing service they provide during a families weakest most vulnerable time.
Certainly a funeral home is not probably on the top of everybody’s list as none of us are looking to pass away however when a loved one departs our presence do you want the upmost respect and classy service to send this person out on top and based on everything that I have witnessed the service that Conroy, Tully & Walker provides is absolutely priceless I would encourage you when you lose that special person in your life to consider having Conroy, Tully & Walker handle this very difficult time in your life
Adam and his staff was extremely remarkable to work with to honor my son who passed away recently young 23yrs old due to complicated health issues. I couldn't have picked a better place. They are warm, compassionate these only a few words to describe this experience. Also they are very family oriented and it's about the family during the hard time. I DEFINITELY would use this company again.
Hope if you require this type of service encourage you to choose adam and his staff. I am HIGHLY sure you would not be disappointed.
I used the south portland location.
The level of service was perfect they went out of their way to help in my time of need I would recommend them for the professional service they give
The staff was beyond accommodating to me and my family in a difficult time. They walked me through each step of the process. The night my mom passed and they came to the nursing home to get her, the driver couldn’t have been any more considerate of us and even more towards the handling of my mother.
We used Conroy service to say the final farewell for my father. From our initial call until the end, the staffs were very accommodating to our family’s needs. My family could not have picked a better funeral home for the service. Thank you for providing the support our family needed.
Dealing with the tragedy and pain and loss of a loved one is truly beyond challenging. However and rather unbelievably Adam Walker and his extraordinary staff at Tully-Walker somehow understood and embraced the truth that the depth of one’s grief is directly proportional to the boundless depth of one’s love for that loved one.
That understanding was palpable throughout our memorial service and evident at every stage both before and after that service.
Never would I have thought that Tully- Walker or anyone else could begin to ease just even a bit of that grief. Adam Walker and his team did just that — caring, professional, empsthiec and more. Endless thanks from the Deborah Cummins family.
Adam and the staff of Conroy-Tully Walker Funeral home were very professional, caring and respectful. My husband was treated with dignity and compassion. Adam thoroughly explained all the details of the entire process to me and helped my daughter and I write a beautiful obituary. Adam made sure to have someone from his staff check on me to see if I was ok and if there was anything they could do to help me through the grieving process.
My husband’s urn was delivered to me at my home which I really appreciated.
I highly recommend Conroy-Tully-Walker Funeral Home.
Staff reached out out of state to assist with necessary arrangements and provide needed guidance. Very caring, helpful team.
I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to the Staff of Conroy- Tully Walker. It was a very rewarding experience during this time of sorrow. From the moment I encountered the staff in organizing the arrangements, to the carrying out of the funeral, to the burial, it was with professionalism. All staff showed compassion, dedication, and true concern for my feelings.
My dealings were primarily with Melody Pereira for doing the planning, with Alissa Dodds for preparing the prayer service, the mass and burial, with Julie Ann Johnson for her follow up work, and Elizabeth for keeping in touch with her follow up texts.
Finally, I want to thank those who worked preparing Mary Jean, my wife. She looked beautiful, just the way she was before this terrible illness took her away.
