Fulton-Theroux Funeral Service

Fulton-Theroux Funeral Service has been a pillar of compassionate care in southeastern Connecticut since its founding in 1857. Originally established in New London, the Old Lyme location opened in the early 1900s and has since become a trusted resource for families navigating loss. Over the decades, the funeral home has undergone several name changes—from Jewett Funeral Home to Aldersen-Prentice and finally to Fulton-Theroux—reflecting the deep roots of the Fulton family, who have lived in Old Lyme for generations and remain actively involved in the local community.

Conveniently situated at 13 Beckwith Lane in Old Lyme, the funeral home offers a warm and welcoming environment that blends antique furnishings with modern amenities to create a home-like atmosphere.
