My family cannot express how grateful and appreciative we are for the beautiful, compassionate services provided by the Albini Family at Brookside Memorial Funeral Home. Our beloved Mother passed away mid-November 2022. We chose to have her services at Brookside Memorial, and we are forever grateful to have done so. During the pre-services planning, Funeral Director Kevin was courteous, professional, compassionate, and he carefully listened to each family members’ request to have the services our Mother so deserved. Kevin and the staff at Brookside Memorial went above and beyond our expectations to make a memorable funeral service for our Mother. The church and graveside services were beautiful. There are no other funeral homes in the area as exceptional as the two funeral homes owned by the Albini family. They are very family-oriented and respectful of one’s cultural beliefs. Thank you, Ray, Penny, Ray Jr., Kevin, and the rest of the staff. Our family will forever be grateful for the wonderful services you provided for our Mother.Rich & Robin Guisti and Family ?

This was my second time working with the Albini family. I am forever grateful to them. When we had services for our mother my father was so impressed with their professionalism he wanted them to do his services as well and when the time came they were just as great with his. They walk you through everything with gentle hands and nothing is out of place. I will recommend this place to everyone.

It has been just over a year that my mother passed an unexpected death. This review is long past due but I haven’t been able to write due to the trauma The Brookside Family, is how I refer to the entire staff because they work in such unison. They were not only professional but were very heartwarming in the way they took care of all the arrangements. Not only was the venue beautiful and calming without a thing out of place but the care of my mother was fabulous. She looked beautiful. They captured the essence of what was needed without too many words. They lead you through the process at a time when making a decision was difficult. To this day and at my mother’s Celebration of Life luncheon everyone has commented that it was the most beautiful ceremony they’ve ever seen . The Brookside Family makes this transition process for the decedent in such a dignified manner that it elevates some of the grief from the family. It made it easier to accept my mother’s next journey.

I cannot thank nor say enough about our experience at Brookside!!! when our Mom passed we immediately called the Albini family. We were comforted that our mother was in the care of their family and staff, never having to leave their beautiful facility. Every detail of the arrangements was meticulously handled. We even had to cancel services due to family illness. Everything was rescheduled and notifications sent out for a smooth and seamless reschedule. Thank you entire Albini family and staff!!!!

Penny, Ray, Maria and the entire Brookside team were terrific from beginning to end. They provide a clean and beautiful facility, walked us through every step of the process with kindness and understanding, and were always flexible and willing to do whatever was needed to ensure our arrangements were handled with dignity and in the manner we chose. Highly recommend Brookside.

This peaceful setting nestled in an unexpected location in Middlebury Connecticut is filled with grasses and wild flowers gently blowing in the wind. The family owned and operated memorial exudes a genuine, loving, hopeful serene environment. Thoughtfully decorated to reflect the towns history adding that extra element of home and comfort to its local visitors. This wonderful family instantly greets you with a calming, warm, peaceful sentiment that exudes a genuine love for celebrating life and it's journeys.

My family and I will forever be grateful to Ray, Penny, & the team at Brookside.Their kindness & detail oriented guidance through the painful process of planning our father’s funeral was invaluable.The day of the funeral, while the most heartbreaking day of our lives, was also a day of celebration & love. Ray, Penny, & their therapy dog Libby, supported me and my family through the day, and we were able to simply grieve. We didn’t have to worry about anything because they anticipated our every need.There aren’t enough words of praise & gratitude.Thank you Ray, Penny, & Brookside team

The professionalism, compassion, and kindness shown to my family during this difficult time was appreciated beyond a simple thank you. Sensitivity and respect were shown through the entire process.The facility is beautiful and comforting, Brookside helps families, as much as possible, celebrate life and the loving memories made during that life.
