Peaslee Funeral Home

C.E. Peaslee & Son, Inc., operating as Peaslee Funeral Homes, is a family-owned and operated funeral service provider that has been a pillar of support for communities in New Hampshire's Lakes Region since 1947. Founded by Clarence and Vera Peaslee in Union, New Hampshire, the business began with a simple mission: to offer compassionate, dignified, and affordable funeral care to families in their time of need. Over the decades, the Peaslee family has expanded its reach while maintaining the same core values of respect, honor, and remembrance that defined its earliest days.

Today, Peaslee Funeral Homes serves the communities of Farmington, Alton, and Wakefield (including Sanbornville) from three conveniently located chapels. The Wakefield location, situated at 2079 Wakefield Road in Sanbornville, is a welcoming facility that provides easy access from Route 16 and Route 153. This location is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible entrance and parking lot, ensuring all families can attend services comfortably. The home offers a wide range of services including traditional funerals, cremation services, and pre-planning options, allowing families to honor their loved ones in a way that reflects their unique lives and beliefs.

The Peaslee family legacy is a story of dedication and growth. After Clarence and Vera, their son Robert and his wife Ute helped shape the expansion, opening the Farmington location, the Alton chapel in 1973, and later the Wakefield facility. Today, the business is in its fourth generation, with Christine Peaslee-Radcliffe, Kevin Radcliffe, Carl Peaslee, and Carli Peaslee continuing the tradition of personalized, family-centered care. The staff takes pride in getting to know each family they serve, providing guidance through every step of the funeral planning process with empathy and professionalism.

Beyond funeral services, Peaslee Funeral Homes offers additional resources to support families through their grief journey. They provide a year-long grief support program with weekly messages designed to offer strength and comfort during the difficult first year after a loss. The funeral home also works with local florists to help families send flowers as a tribute to their loved ones. Pre-planning services allow individuals to make arrangements in advance, giving peace of mind to both themselves and their families. Whether a family is in immediate need or simply exploring options for the future, Peaslee Funeral Homes is committed to serving with integrity, warmth, and a deep sense of community. The funeral home is an active member of the National Funeral Directors Association, the Association of Professional Funeral Service Professionals, and the New Hampshire Funeral Directors Association, underscoring its commitment to industry standards and continuing education.
