Chadwick Funeral and Cremation Service, LLC

Chadwick Funeral and Cremation Service, LLC, located at 235 Main Street in New London, New Hampshire, is a family-owned and operated funeral home with a rich history spanning over a century. Established in 1913 by Fred A. Pressey, who recognized the community’s need for a compassionate place to turn during times of loss, the business was purchased in 1957 by Pressey’s nephew, Walton W. Chadwick. The home is currently owned and operated by Charles and Marion Hafner (Walton’s son-in-law and daughter), who took over in 1991. Their dedication continues the legacy of genuine personal and professional care that has served four generations of neighboring communities. The service lost two beloved family members: Walton Chadwick in 2002 and Virginia Chadwick in 2005, but the spirit of family service endures. As a small community funeral home, the team personally knows many of the families they serve, understanding that each family has unique traditions, customs, and beliefs. They strive to accommodate every need, helping families create lasting tributes that reflect a loved one’s values, religious beliefs, and personality. They serve all faiths with the same personalized attention. In 2009, the Hafners expanded by purchasing the Newton-Bartlett Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Newport, NH, and in August 2012 they opened the Sugar River Crematory in Newport. This allows them to provide complete care, keeping loved ones with them every step of the way. Services offered include traditional funerals, cremation services, pre-planning, veteran services, and grief resources. Chadwick Funeral and Cremation Service is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking. They can be reached at (603) 526-6442. The business maintains a website at www.chadwickfuneralservice.com, where they publish obituaries, offer planning insights, and provide a general price list. Their mission remains to provide personal care and support to families in their time of need, honoring a century-long tradition of trust and compassion.
