Hall Funeral Home was established in 1833 and for six generations, the Hall family served Casco and the Lakes Region area families in their time of need. In 2019, Eric Nelson and his wife, Erin purchased the funeral home from Eric and Jen Hall and look to continue to do all of the same good works that have been done before them.
Here on Quaker Ridge, we are more than just a âfuneral homeâ or âfacility.â We pride ourselves on making our space feel like a second home â a true place for peace, comfort, and warmth. It is also our home and we welcome you into it with hope that the worst of circumstances after the loss of a loved one, you will find it warm, inviting and comfortable.
A note from Eric: My wife, Erin and our two boys, Sawyer and Cooper could not be happier about this new chapter in our lives as we transition into our new home and business here at Hall Funeral Home in Casco. We moved back home to the area in 2014 when I took a position locally as a Funeral Director and Erin continued her career in Banking at Norway Savings Bank, now serving the Lakes Region working out of the Bridgton and Naples offices. The boys started school in the Lake Region School District and we settled in nicely with various civic organizations including the Lakes Region Rotary Club, the Bridgton Lions Club, the Greater Bridgton Lake Region Chamber of Commerce. The advantage to us in this was that I was born in Bridgton, attended Fryeburg Academy elementary schools and graduated from Oxford Hills High School, all-the-while working in the Nelson family cemetery care and grave digging business from the Fryeburg and surrounding towns to the Oxford Hills communities. After graduating from college with a Funeral Service degree, I worked in the Farmington area for 15 years as a Funeral Director as well in the monument business with the Wiles family before moving back âhome.â It was wonderful for me to get back and reconnect with old friends and serve the families of this area and nearby towns. Especially nice for me was to also become part of the Fryeburg Pine Grove Cemetery Association, where as a kid, I learned to run a lawn mower alongside my father and brother. As Erin and I started discussing the notion of pursuing our lifelong dream of funeral home ownership, a big concern was moving to an unfamiliar place and the âstarting over,â if you will. We have fallen in love with the Lake Region area, the community and the people here since moving a few years ago - and it has loved us right back. This was where we wanted to be and this was where we wanted to stay. As we progressed to more serious conversations, Eric and Jen Hall came into the fray. It became clear that it was just so natural for everyone and with minimal impact, especially and most importantly to the families that Hall Funeral Home has served since the early 1800âs. It meant that the boys wouldnât have to change schools, Erin would still serve the same people in her position at the bank, and ultimately, I would as well. There is no doubt that if the Halls were serious about selling their business to someone who didnât have the same last name, careful consideration had to be made. For them Iâd like to think that it was the fact that another young family was moving in and that the same honest, hard-working, care and service to families would continue. We would carry on the traditions and keep the integrity of the business. Someone recently told us that if the Halls were okay with us taking over the business, then they would be too. We truly feel honored. Youâll see my family at the same community and sporting events, attending the same school functions, hunting the same familiar woods, fishing the same lakes and streams and at the same corner store grabbing a cup of coffee. Youâll see me mowing the grass, shoveling the walk, cleaning the gutters and putting up our firewood for winter. Youâll see the boys kicking the ball around on the lawn down by the barn, exploring the fields and building forts in the woods and youâll see my wife taking in the beautiful sunsets and views from here on Quaker Ridge...all of the same things that have been done in this family funeral home for over 185 years.
