Thomas Tierney, owner of The Green Cremation and third-generation owner of the John F. Tierney Funeral Home, shares a look-back at the history of the family business, with a greener eye for the future.
Honoring a legacy of determination and compassion, our family's funeral home has served the community since 1956. Now, with The Green Cremation, we continue that tradition by offering sustainable, modern options for families seeking meaningful, environmentally responsible care.
We're proud to be Connecticut's first provider of water cremation – committed to expanding our footprint while leaving a smaller footprint behind. But what exactly is #watercremation? We're breaking it down.?
Getting sober is, without a doubt, the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It’s also the most important. Looking back, the lessons I’ve learned along the way have transformed me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Sobriety has taught me to see life with clarity, but it’s also taught me humility, acceptance, and a new kind of strength. One of the first and toughest lessons was that the world doesn’t revolve around me. At first, it was humbling, even disorienting, to realize that life kept moving regardless of my struggles or my victories. But in that realization, I found freedom—the understanding that my role is to participate, to help, and to grow, not to control or fix everything. Sobriety has also taught me the power of knowing my limits, and the surprising strength in asking for help. By recognizing where I fall short, I’ve been able to build a team of people who fill in those gaps, who challenge me, who have my back in ways I could never achieve alone. It’s a gift beyond words, a reminder that we’re stronger together. And most importantly, I’ve learned the importance of compassion—for others and for myself. The journey hasn’t been perfect, and it never will be. But each day, I’m reminded that growth isn’t about being flawless; it’s about showing up, giving my best, and forgiving myself when I fall short. Sobriety isn’t just a choice I made years ago; it’s a journey I walk every day. And with each step, I’m grateful for the clarity, the humility, and the courage it’s given me. If anyone reading this is on a similar path, or even just facing their own struggles—know you’re not alone. Feel free to reach out or share your story. We’re all here, learning, growing, and lifting each other up. #Sobriety #SelfDiscovery #Growth #Gratitude #Teamwork #Dreamwork #StrengthInVulnerability
This article is the start of a conversation about the 'why' of funeral service through my eyes—a reflection that honors the tradition that brought us here while envisioning a future of expanded possibilities. Funeral service has always been about guiding families through profound moments of grief with compassion and dedication. Today, however, as values and expectations evolve, I believe we have a responsibility to offer choices that honor each individual’s beliefs, legacy, and environmental priorities. My goal is to blend the best of our traditions with a vision for a more inclusive, transparent, and sustainable future in funeral service, empowering families to create meaningful, personalized memorials that stand the test of time. #HonoringFinalWishes #MemorializationMatters #FuneralInnovation #Aquamation #GreenCremation #FutureOfFunerals #EthicalMemorials #PersonalizedFarewell #Innovation #Connecticut #RhodeIsland #Massachusetts #Vermont #TheGreenCremation #LegacyWithPurpose #EcoConsciousMemorials #ModernFuneralIndustry #Dreamwork #InclusiveFuneralServices #DiverseMemorialization #EmpoweredGoodbyes
