Thomas B Dobies Funeral Home - Congress St. Chapel - New Port Richey, Florida

The funeral for my younger sister was held at this funeral home, and while sure the funeral was nice, I feel like there was a complete disrespect for the wishes of my sister.

My sister was in her early 20’s when she passed, and had no estate plan. However, she had made me her next of kin for medical purposes and blocked both parents from being able to go near her in a medical facility.

Despite the funeral director being very aware of not only this, but the fact that I had to make the decision to even allow my parents in the room before making the decision to take my sister off life support, the funeral director helped my parents team up on me when deciding who the true next of kin would be, which was of course the parents that my sister did not trust whatsoever to make decisions for her.

Needless to say, the only person she trusted was left to choose nothing about the funeral but the memorial cards, and it was a disgustingly stuffy funeral that my sister would’ve absolutely hated.

Beyond that, now the only person she truly trusted to make decisions for her is stuck watching the people she trusted with nothing completely disrespect her wishes.

Oh, I’d also like to add that it’s super creepy that Tom Dobies is going around giving $20’s to little girls and then standing behind their chair until even they get uncomfortable and scoot closer to their step mom. Not the best look man.

We lost our dog and called Dobies in holiday and the people there were so helpful and caring. They made things easy for us. This is our second time using Dobies. I'd recommend them to anyone. The Purcell family

One has to question its capability of this organization when its drivers have no respect for the rules of the road! Text while driving. Switch lanes without signaling. And, delay traffic by driving slowly in the fast lane. Just a few examples of a local business disrupting the lives of the community.

Dobies should know that’s its vans are advertising unacceptable behavior. Think of how many have experienced such frustration and have stayed silent.

As a consumer, you should make them pay for their arrogance!

We recently put our dog down. We brought her to Dobbies to be cremated. They were so professional and caring. They treated her body with such respect. I think her name was Jackie that helped. She was so sweet. They gave her back in a beautiful wooden urn too. They helped make a terrible experience into something a little less terrible. I know she's just a dog, but she was my dog and my family. I can't thank them eniigh for the level of care they gave me for my dog. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

WOW ! These people went way way out of their way to serve our family's needs . I will not get into details but they were able to make changes after 9pm for the viewing at 9am the next day. They did all that was asked and then some . I live in PA. but if I die in Florida there home is my final home . There actions were as if the president was in there care. The photo is not of the funeral home , It was taken at the VA. cemetery in Bushnell FL. 53 miles away ... Thank You -- God Bless you all.. Reverend Jim of Vista Chapel Gardens

Dobies was amazing with our family. Mr Dobie came when my Dad (TOOLEY) paased to my home.for pickup, He was so kind to all of us. They had his DC done and ready for us within 5 days. The morning we went to the funeral home they treated us like family. Thank you Dobies!

Our mother recently passed away (January 2022) quite unexpectedly. However, mom had finalized her funeral arrangements years before, so we didn’t have to struggle with numerous decisions. After her death, Dobies Funeral Home staff responded to the house and took the utmost care with her body. While I was at the funeral home in Hudson going over paperwork etc, I found the entire staff patient, kind, sympathetic and understanding during this difficult family time. They had previously handled another family members death and performed equally as well.

We recommend Tom Dobies (owner) & the entire team/network of locations, if you find yourself searching for this type of service. Most of the time, arrangements are not previously made & you find yourself looking for help and guidance with these matters. They are especially fond of the police, fire and military who have served our communities and country. As a former police officer, I take comfort in that love & concern for the first responders & our nations military men & women. Thank you again.

My companion dog and best friend Precious passed away in the early morning. Dobies picked her remains up with such respect in the early hours of the morning. The gentleman was kind and compassionate of my Precious. Three weeks later I picked her ashes at the Congress Street location. The funeral director there was so respectful of my loss. Everything that Dobies did for me made a very painful event much more doable. Thank you for all that your funeral home has done for me! She's back home now❤️🐾🌈
