"Our belief is that the passion and love for funeral service that we possess assists in delivering exceptional care to each family we are privileged to service. Easing a difficult time for families is our inspiration."
Nancy, Mike & Staff:
I just wanted to tell you how great you all are! In a VERY tragic time, you helped me feel like there was hope, and healing near.
When my Grandmother (Mary Lasek) passed away, you comforted my family and I. But this time was very different. I can't express in words how horrible I feel for the passing of my uncle, and for the loss his children are feeling. I've Spoken with Alyssa and my Aunt Maria alot in the past few days and in the days to come. I know in my heart that this will be hard for them, but sincerely feel that they will come to know how much they were truly loved by my Uncle Dave, and how his passing had nothing to do with situations within their family.
You knew, not only in the ways that we showed our loss, but by the loss you also shared with us, how to help us cope. You made a difficult 4 days A LOT less difficult!
I'll never forget the sympathy and empathy that you had for my family, and I hope that you and I will never forget Dave, but we will forget the hurt we feel now.
I want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU! to you, Nancy, and your entire staff. You really are to be remembered for your love of human life, and respect for the passing of loved ones.
Again, Thank you!

We don't even know where to begin our thanks to all of you. Your generosity, sincerity, compassion and professionalism truly make you "second to none," During the shock and numbness of it all, I'm not sure we appropiately expressed our appreciation for all you did. You've made such a difficult situation much more bearable. Thank you for everything-you guys are the best.
With much love, respect and thanks
Sean & Carla Ryan & Family
Dear Friends:
I have been putting off writing this note to you, because I've been attempting to figure out what to say. Words can not express the appreciation and gratitude for everything that you did for our family. From your immediate response to my mothers phone call, to your help as Jerry and I closed the apartment, you went over and above what you had to do. It is a comfort to us knowing that Pat was so loved by so many. The luncheon was a joy to gather family and friends. I am still having difficulty adjusting to life without my dear sister. I'm sure you are too. But knowing how many lives she touched in so many ways helps. Thank you again for everything you have done. ALL of you will be fondly remembered by all of us.
Love,
Mary DeGrazia and the Cannon/DeGrazia Families
Dear Friends:
We all would like to thank-you for your kindness and concern you've shown to us all. This has been such a difficult time in our lives.

Your warmth and compassion were so appreciated by my children and myself. From the bottom of our hearts we thank-you for all you did for us. Keep Dave in your hearts and prayers.

Dear Nancy:
I just wanted to let you know that your team is truly unique. Last week we had to go to Buffalo for a funeral of a friend. As we walked into the funeral home we thought "gee they don't even have a doorman". Then the morning of the funeral, many people went to the funeral home before church. Chairs were set up and people eventually sat down and waited. No one came in the room until about 5 minutes before we were to leave for the church. People seemed like they did'nt know what they should be doing or when something was going to happen.
We have become spoiled with the service that Eannace Funeral Home provides and we are constantly comparing you to other funeral homes-there is NO comparison! You and your team provide the best service and are truly the most compassionate people to assist families in their time of need.
As a side note, no other team would have given Officer Thomas Linsey the care and respect that he deserves. When I saw that you were doing the funeral, I knew that it would be done right. You are truly professional people.
Please give my love to Mike and the rest of the crew and let them know what a good job they do.
Sincerely,
Carol A. Carcone
Dear Nancy and staff:
My family and I would like to express our gratitude. From start to finish everything was done with class and dignity. We appreciate your love and caring throughout this difficult time. The mass was beautiful. It will forever be in our hearts.

Dear Nancy and staff,
I could'nt think of anyone but you and your staff that I would have entrusted my husband to. I could not have possibly expected perfection but that is exactly what I received. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
God Bless all of you
Sincerely,
Barbara Sowich
Dear Nancy,
Just a personal note to say thank you to you and your staff for the outstanding job you did for Officer Tom Lindsey. Even though Tom was not my employeem ge is still a part of our law enforcement family. Your compassion and professionalism was extraordinary and will never be forgotten. I know Tom's family and the Utica Police Department were very pleased with the way arrangements were handled. You certainly helped to pay a fitting tribute to a true hero. I again want to personally thank you and the Eannace Funeral Home Staff for all you did during such a difficult time. God bless you all and keep up the fine work that you do.
Warmest regards,

Best regards

Dearest Nancy:
This letter is long overdue. When I returned home to Florida, I became very ill and this is the first opportunity I have had to write a note of thanks. Thank you, thank you, thank you to you and your staff for the exemplary service you provided at mom's viewing and funeral. She looked absolutely beautiful...above and beyond what we could have expected. Please extend our thanks to John, Chase, Dominick and allof the other Eannace Funeral Home staff members. I can't express enough our gratitude. They all did a superb job. Nancy, once we walked into your gorgeous facility, I felt that you and every staff member became a part of our family. It was extremely reassuring to know that you and your staff would tend to every detail. I am enclosing a copy of a letter I forwarded to the New York State Funeral Directors Association. We have, and will continue to highly recommend your services.

Dear Sir or Ms:
In a day when we are so quick to criticize, this letter is intended, instead to provide accolades.
Recently, my mother passed away. Although we lived in Florida it was my mother's desire to have her funeral and to be interred in Utica, New York. We contacted Eannace Funeral Home in Utica, New York. From our first contact, we received exemplary service in a superior facility. Once we entered the funeral home, we were treated as royalty. Every member of the staff was kind, loving, and tended to the needs of all of us who were grieving at the loss of our beloved mom. It was as though every staff member became a family member. Inaddition, because of Eannace's exceptional expertise, our Mom looked absolutely beautiful. Itwas above and beyond what we could have expected! Even as we drove to the church, staff members were there to buckle/unbuckle our seat belts, help us out of our vehicles, hold our purses, have tissues available and to tend to every detail. I cannot express enough superior, exemplary, excellent service provided by Eannace. Although we have been to other funeral homes in Florida as well as in Utica, New York, none can compare (or even come close) to the services provided by Nancy Eannace and her fine staff. Accolades and more accolades to this fine organization. At a vulnerable time of loss as we experienced. Eannace's exceptional services and professionalism were invaluable. I can't fully express my gratitude for their professional expertise and distinguished commitment to excellence.
Sincerely,
Marie L. Peterson
To Nancy & Staff:
Thank you all so much for the kind, gracious and professional handling of Patsy's passing and funeral service. Your expertise and thoughtfullness helped us come through a very difficult time.

Dear Nancy & Gang:
There are words for thank you and there are words for gratitude and then there are words for very special people! All of those words put together is what I want to express in this Thank you! from the bottom of my heart. We could not ask for anyone better to help us handle and express our feelings and emotions during such a hard time in our life! I have never heard so many wonderful expressions from people who were so impressed and thankful that I recommended Eannace in our time of need... I knew there was no other place on earth I would want family to go! the personalized phone callfrom you and Miketo the show of emotions you gave the family. It is something we will never forget and will be forever thankful for. It was not just a time for mourning but a wonderful gift of Jason's memories from start to finish. I am so thankful to have such wonderful people who care so much in my life! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Love Always

Thank you,

To the Management and Staff at Eannace Funeral Home:
It is with a heavy heart but much appreciation that I am writing to you today. I know this will be hard to believe, but at 48 this was the first time I have experienced a death so close to me and the first time I ever attended a wake or funeral. I had no idea what to expect. SOmehow I thing God knew that, and provided the best, most profressional service he could find-which was your funeral home. From the very beginning, sitting down with Nancy and having her review everything should have been overwhelming. But she did it with such grace and patience and that beautiful tender voice of hers, it was like having an angel talking to us. I still am amazed at how every detail was taken care of. Every single person on your staff made me feel like I had made a new friend as soon as I talked with them. Anything my family or I needed was addressed.This should have been the worst experience of my life, and somehow all of you at Eannace Funeral Home made it bearable, if not even pleasant. My dad looked so beautiful and so natural. After hearing what he went through prior to dying, I never expected him to look so good. It was reassuring. The prayers, the music, everything was truly perfect. My dadwould have been so pleased. God Bless You All and the work you do. You are so very good at it. I am so sorry I don't live in Utica, because when it is my time to go, I would want all of you to be there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Natalie A. Rocci-Kielar Ph.D.
Nancy,
Losing our Mom was the worse thing that could happen in our lives. However, you made this very difficult time for us more comforting; with not only your professionalism, but your genuine compassion, and all-around kindness. We could not have asked for a better send-off for Mom. We will be forever grateful.
Thank you,

Dear Eannace FH Friends:
My girls and I would like to thank you for all your love and support over the past few months. Whether you sent a card or gave to the monetary tribute on Bob's behalf, worked at or attended the calling hours or funeral or were just keeping us in your thoughts and prayers-we are so grateful!
Having now experienced the "other end" of the spectrum. I can now see how exceptional our staff and facilities are-we truly do an excellent job!
Thank you for taking such special care of us all - your kindness will never be forgotten.
Love Pam, Jennifer & Lindsay
Nancy & Mike:
We have so much to thank you for. I'm not quite sure where to begin. Mike, you were one of the first ones there at the hospital after Bob's passing and I so appreciated your words of support and comfort, it helped to know that you were there to take care of your "friend" . Nan, your special attention to all my requests and concerns will never be forgotten. I am most greatful that you went the "extra mile" to have Bob ready for my girls to see ahead of time and I think it might have made the following few days a little more bearable for them. Bob was a fine man who deserved only the best from life and I truly feel that you enabled him to "go out in style" Please accept our sincere gratitude and appreciation for all your love and kindness.
Love Pam, Jennifer & Lindsay
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how impressed I was by the service I attended for Mr. Michael Mallace on April 7, 2008. You did an OUTSTANDING job of honoring this mans life when I know you received VER LITTLE compensation for it. I left the service feeling as though I knew Michael and felt like he was honored and respected and your funeral home played a very big part in making that happen. I was very moved by what I experienced at his service. I could not let anymore time go by without letting you know what an absolutely FINE job you all did by showing such respect and honor to Michael and his family. People were watching and I must say, so was God.

I just wanted to tell you how great you all are! In a VERY tragic time, you helped me feel like there was hope, and healing near.
When my Grandmother (Mary Lasek) passed away, you comforted my family and I. But this time was very different. I can't express in words how horrible I feel for the passing of my uncle, and for the loss his children are feeling. I've Spoken with Alyssa and my Aunt Maria alot in the past few days and in the days to come. I know in my heart that this will be hard for them, but sincerely feel that they will come to know how much they were truly loved by my Uncle Dave, and how his passing had nothing to do with situations within their family.
You knew, not only in the ways that we showed our loss, but by the loss you also shared with us, how to help us cope. You made a difficult 4 days A LOT less difficult!
I'll never forget the sympathy and empathy that you had for my family, and I hope that you and I will never forget Dave, but we will forget the hurt we feel now.
I want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU! to you, Nancy, and your entire staff. You really are to be remembered for your love of human life, and respect for the passing of loved ones.
Again, Thank you!

We appreciate the hours you took to make the special arrangements for our mom Theresa R. Puleo. We are grateful for the compassion you had for us. You are a wonderful person.
Our Love,

With warm regards, I remain...
Very truly yours,
Edmund J. Wiatr, Jr.

You were one of my dad's favorite people and as always he was a good judge of people. Many thanks to you and your staff for all that you did for me and my family during this most difficult time in our lives. The love, care and concern you and your entire staff showed us is so warmly appreciated. The celebration of our dad's and papa's life was wonderful thanks to all of you. We will treasure our memories of it always.

Dear Nancy & Staff,
There are no words to describe how wonderful you and your staff have been for me and Agnes' family.

A special thanks to Maria.

Nancy, John, Chris, Chase, Carol & all others who assisted,
We don't even know where to begin our thanks to all of you. Your generosity, sincerity, compassion and professionalism truly make you "second to none," During the shock and numbness of it all, I'm not sure we appropiately expressed our appreciation for all you did. You've made such a difficult situation much more bearable. Thank you for everything-you guys are the best.
With much love, respect and thanks

Dear Friends:
I have been putting off writing this note to you, because I've been attempting to figure out what to say. Words can not express the appreciation and gratitude for everything that you did for our family. From your immediate response to my mothers phone call, to your help as Jerry and I closed the apartment, you went over and above what you had to do. It is a comfort to us knowing that Pat was so loved by so many. The luncheon was a joy to gather family and friends. I am still having difficulty adjusting to life without my dear sister. I'm sure you are too. But knowing how many lives she touched in so many ways helps. Thank you again for everything you have done. ALL of you will be fondly remembered by all of us.
Love,
Mary DeGrazia and the Cannon/DeGrazia Families
Dear Friends:
We all would like to thank-you for your kindness and concern you've shown to us all. This has been such a difficult time in our lives. Having good friends and family to support us has make a difference. We know we have a long road ahead of usm but with time and faith we will get through it. Your warmth and compassion were so appreciated by my children and myself. From the bottom of our hearts we thank-you for all you did for us. Keep Dave in your hearts and prayers.
With Love,
Maria, Alysson, Jene and David
You can count on them
They are very compassionate and empathic. They handle the service with dignity and respect. There are really no words... to describe how truly wonderful and truly caring they are.

My family and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving my husband, father and grandfather the most wonderful send off anyone can ask for.

NAncy, I can't say enough about you, Michael and your staff, how wonderful you made us feel and how important Jeff was. He went out in class cause yopu made it all happen. Like my son said, Nancy you are the best and he was the best. May God Bless You All.

I cannot tell you enough how satisfied myself and my family were. I am very grateful for all John did for us. Eannace made me feel very very comfortable through this tragedy. It was the first time for me doing a funeral and I want to let John know personally he walked me through every step. I am very satisfied and will return to Eannace everytime when needed.
Thank you very much.

Dear Nancy:
I just wanted to let you know that your team is truly unique. Last week we had to go to Buffalo for a funeral of a friend. As we walked into the funeral home we thought "gee they don't even have a doorman". Then the morning of the funeral, many people went to the funeral home before church. Chairs were set up and people eventually sat down and waited. No one came in the room until about 5 minutes before we were to leave for the church. People seemed like they did'nt know what they should be doing or when something was going to happen.
We have become spoiled with the service that Eannace Funeral Home provides and we are constantly comparing you to other funeral homes-there is NO comparison! You and your team provide the best service and are truly the most compassionate people to assist families in their time of need.
As a side note, no other team would have given Officer Thomas Linsey the care and respect that he deserves. When I saw that you were doing the funeral, I knew that it would be done right. You are truly professional people.
Please give my love to Mike and the rest of the crew and let them know what a good job they do.
Sincerely,
Carol A. Carcone
Dear Nancy and staff:
My family and I would like to express our gratitude. From start to finish everything was done with class and dignity. We appreciate your love and caring throughout this difficult time. The mass was beautiful. It will forever be in our hearts.
Love,
Marie Dare and family
Dear Nancy and staff,
I could'nt think of anyone but you and your staff that I would have entrusted my husband to. I could not have possibly expected perfection but that is exactly what I received. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
God Bless all of you
Sincerely,
Barbara Sowich
Dear Nancy,
Just a personal note to say thank you to you and your staff for the outstanding job you did for Officer Tom Lindsey. Even though Tom was not my employeem ge is still a part of our law enforcement family. Your compassion and professionalism was extraordinary and will never be forgotten. I know Tom's family and the Utica Police Department were very pleased with the way arrangements were handled. You certainly helped to pay a fitting tribute to a true hero. I again want to personally thank you and the Eannace Funeral Home Staff for all you did during such a difficult time. God bless you all and keep up the fine work that you do.
Warmest regards,
Daniel G. Middaugh

Thank you so much for all you did during the planning stages of our mom Marie Leograndes funeral details. We could not have gotten through this difficult time without you. Sorry we did'nt get to see you before we returned to Florida.
Best regards

Dearest Nancy:
This letter is long overdue. When I returned home to Florida, I became very ill and this is the first opportunity I have had to write a note of thanks. Thank you, thank you, thank you to you and your staff for the exemplary service you provided at mom's viewing and funeral. She looked absolutely beautiful...above and beyond what we could have expected. Please extend our thanks to John, Chase, Dominick and allof the other Eannace Funeral Home staff members. I can't express enough our gratitude. They all did a superb job. Nancy, once we walked into your gorgeous facility, I felt that you and every staff member became a part of our family. It was extremely reassuring to know that you and your staff would tend to every detail. I am enclosing a copy of a letter I forwarded to the New York State Funeral Directors Association. We have, and will continue to highly recommend your services.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir or Ms:
In a day when we are so quick to criticize, this letter is intended, instead to provide accolades.
Recently, my mother passed away. Although we lived in Florida it was my mother's desire to have her funeral and to be interred in Utica, New York. We contacted Eannace Funeral Home in Utica, New York. From our first contact, we received exemplary service in a superior facility. Once we entered the funeral home, we were treated as royalty. Every member of the staff was kind, loving, and tended to the needs of all of us who were grieving at the loss of our beloved mom. It was as though every staff member became a family member. Inaddition, because of Eannace's exceptional expertise, our Mom looked absolutely beautiful. Itwas above and beyond what we could have expected! Even as we drove to the church, staff members were there to buckle/unbuckle our seat belts, help us out of our vehicles, hold our purses, have tissues available and to tend to every detail. I cannot express enough superior, exemplary, excellent service provided by Eannace. Although we have been to other funeral homes in Florida as well as in Utica, New York, none can compare (or even come close) to the services provided by Nancy Eannace and her fine staff. Accolades and more accolades to this fine organization. At a vulnerable time of loss as we experienced. Eannace's exceptional services and professionalism were invaluable. I can't fully express my gratitude for their professional expertise and distinguished commitment to excellence.
Sincerely,
Marie L. Peterson
To Nancy & Staff:
Thank you all so much for the kind, gracious and professional handling of Patsy's passing and funeral service. Your expertise and thoughtfullness helped us come through a very difficult time.

Dear Nancy & Gang:
There are words for thank you and there are words for gratitude and then there are words for very special people! All of those words put together is what I want to express in this Thank you! from the bottom of my heart. We could not ask for anyone better to help us handle and express our feelings and emotions during such a hard time in our life! I have never heard so many wonderful expressions from people who were so impressed and thankful that I recommended Eannace in our time of need... I knew there was no other place on earth I would want family to go! the personalized phone callfrom you and Miketo the show of emotions you gave the family. It is something we will never forget and will be forever thankful for. It was not just a time for mourning but a wonderful gift of Jason's memories from start to finish. I am so thankful to have such wonderful people who care so much in my life! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Love Always

To The Owners & Staff of Eannace Funeral Home:
I traveled from Canada to attend the funeral for Joseph Zalocha, and would like to compliment your funeral home on its beauty and professionalism of which was so apparent. I have never seen the number of staff that you had and very much appreciated the instruction in the church.
Thank you,
Valarie Lihou
To the Management and Staff at Eannace Funeral Home:
It is with a heavy heart but much appreciation that I am writing to you today. I know this will be hard to believe, but at 48 this was the first time I have experienced a death so close to me and the first time I ever attended a wake or funeral. I had no idea what to expect. SOmehow I thing God knew that, and provided the best, most profressional service he could find-which was your funeral home. From the very beginning, sitting down with Nancy and having her review everything should have been overwhelming. But she did it with such grace and patience and that beautiful tender voice of hers, it was like having an angel talking to us. I still am amazed at how every detail was taken care of. Every single person on your staff made me feel like I had made a new friend as soon as I talked with them. Anything my family or I needed was addressed.This should have been the worst experience of my life, and somehow all of you at Eannace Funeral Home made it bearable, if not even pleasant. My dad looked so beautiful and so natural. After hearing what he went through prior to dying, I never expected him to look so good. It was reassuring. The prayers, the music, everything was truly perfect. My dadwould have been so pleased. God Bless You All and the work you do. You are so very good at it. I am so sorry I don't live in Utica, because when it is my time to go, I would want all of you to be there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Natalie A. Rocci-Kielar Ph.D.
Nancy,
Losing our Mom was the worse thing that could happen in our lives. However, you made this very difficult time for us more comforting; with not only your professionalism, but your genuine compassion, and all-around kindness. We could not have asked for a better send-off for Mom. We will be forever grateful.
Thank you,
Joyce and Janice Cerullo

Dear Eannace FH Friends:
My girls and I would like to thank you for all your love and support over the past few months. Whether you sent a card or gave to the monetary tribute on Bob's behalf, worked at or attended the calling hours or funeral or were just keeping us in your thoughts and prayers-we are so grateful!
Having now experienced the "other end" of the spectrum. I can now see how exceptional our staff and facilities are-we truly do an excellent job!
Thank you for taking such special care of us all - your kindness will never be forgotten.
Love Pam, Jennifer & Lindsay
Nancy & Mike:
We have so much to thank you for. I'm not quite sure where to begin. Mike, you were one of the first ones there at the hospital after Bob's passing and I so appreciated your words of support and comfort, it helped to know that you were there to take care of your "friend" . Nan, your special attention to all my requests and concerns will never be forgotten. I am most greatful that you went the "extra mile" to have Bob ready for my girls to see ahead of time and I think it might have made the following few days a little more bearable for them. Bob was a fine man who deserved only the best from life and I truly feel that you enabled him to "go out in style" Please accept our sincere gratitude and appreciation for all your love and kindness.
Love Pam, Jennifer & Lindsay
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how impressed I was by the service I attended for Mr. Michael Mallace on April 7, 2008. You did an OUTSTANDING job of honoring this mans life when I know you received VER LITTLE compensation for it. I left the service feeling as though I knew Michael and felt like he was honored and respected and your funeral home played a very big part in making that happen. I was very moved by what I experienced at his service. I could not let anymore time go by without letting you know what an absolutely FINE job you all did by showing such respect and honor to Michael and his family. People were watching and I must say, so was God.
