My father the late Duncan S. Crowell purchased the business on August 31, 1970 from the late Parker Hamilton. Dad named it Eastern Memorial Funeral Home until a few years later when he changed the name to DS Crowell Funeral Home. In 1979 he incorporated the business and changed the name to DS Crowell & Son Funeral Home, for which it is still known today. His first funeral home was in a small building which he used for 7 months before purchasing the present building in the spring of 1971. Over the years the present building has been renovated many times. We also operated Crowell's Ambulance Service out of the present building from August 31, 1970 until July 3, 2001. We were on call 24 hours a day, especially my mother the late Maude Crowell who answered the telephone faithfully for many years for both the Ambulance Service and the Funeral Home. In 2001 we purchased Ecum Secum Funeral Home from Linda Veinotte after the death of her husband David Veinotte. Which we still operate under the name Ecum Secum Chapel. We employ a staff of 4 people, 2 full time and 2 part time.
