Monahan Drabble Sherman Funeral Home

Monahan Drabble Sherman Funeral Home, a proud family-owned and operated establishment, has served Rhode Island families with compassion and dignity for over five generations and more than 145 years. Founded on a tradition of personalized care, the funeral home is currently under the ownership of Mark and Bob Russell, who continue the legacy begun by their great-great-grandfather. In June 2021, the funeral home relocated from its historic landmark on Waterman Street in Providence to a new facility at 210 Taunton Avenue in East Providence, Rhode Island 02914. This move, while bittersweet, allows the firm to better serve families and grow for the future. The familiar faces of the Russell family remain, and all phone numbers, including (401) 331-4592, have been kept unchanged. The funeral home is committed to providing owner-managed service, meaning that every conversation is with a decision-maker who can accommodate unique requests and offer flexible, compassionate solutions. Monahan Drabble Sherman Funeral Home offers a comprehensive range of services designed to honor loved ones in meaningful ways. Families can explore traditional funeral services, celebration of life ceremonies, and permanent memorialization options. The firm also provides specialized support for honoring veterans, guiding families through the process of military honors and benefits. For those who wish to plan ahead, the funeral home offers pre-planning resources, including an online pre-planning form, a checklist, and guidance on why planning ahead brings peace of mind to families. Additionally, the firm assists with anatomical donations in partnership with the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and provides information on green burials, including eco-friendly caskets and burial packages. The funeral home’s website, www.mkds.com, serves as a comprehensive resource for families. It features up-to-date obituary listings, helpful articles on topics such as funeral etiquette, talking to children about grief, and social security benefits. A dedicated grief and healing section offers daily email support through the “365 Days of Grief & Healing” program, along with links to support networks and websites. The staff at Monahan Drabble Sherman Funeral Home understands that the loss of a loved one is a difficult time, and they strive to provide a comforting, supportive environment. Their pledge is to remain ever-alert to the changing needs of the community, offering personalized attention and professional guidance every step of the way. Whether families need immediate assistance after a death or wish to pre-plan for the future, the compassionate directors are available to answer questions and provide clarity. The funeral home’s new location on Taunton Avenue is easily accessible and continues to uphold the legacy of dignity and caring that has defined the firm for over a century.
