Saunders Dwyer funeral home has served my family for years. They are professional, detail-oriented and calming. This is exactly what one needs in their time of grief. Bill Saunders was absolutely outstanding! He was patient, understanding and directed us in a way that made us feel very supported.

When my father passed away, we realized we had not even considered what happens next. And it was on a Sunday morning. My mother had driven by the Saunders-Dwyer Funeral Home in Mattapoisett (near the fire station on Route 6) and suggested we call them. An answering service picked up, passed on our message and situation, and within minutes Bill Saunders was calling us back. From there we were in good hands - experienced, caring, thoughtful and resourceful. Bill helped us through every step of the process through the funeral and beyond. When I had questions, he had immediate answers, regardless of the time of day. When various crises occurred and I didn't know who to call, I called Bill, and he figured it out in minutes, got the right people on the phone, and had us back on track in no time. I can't recommend Bill Saunders and the Saunders-Dwyer Funeral Home enough. Thank you,...
