About Goundrey & Dewhirst Funeral Home

Goundrey & Dewhirst Funeral Home is an independently owned funeral home serving the Salem, NH area. They offer full-service funeral arrangements, including cremation options with direct cremation starting at $2,790. With only 9 Google reviews, there is limited public feedback available to draw meaningful conclusions about consistent customer experiences, and the 3.9-star rating, while generally positive, reflects a small sample size that may not fully represent the range of families they have served. Families looking for a locally owned alternative to a corporate chain may find this a worthwhile option to consider, though speaking directly with the funeral home and requesting a General Price List is recommended before making a decision.

He tried to steal $2,600 from me and only after I contacted multiple agencies did he, under extreme pressure by the BBB, Attorney General's Office and other agencies did I finally get a refu…
