Making end-of-life care preparations can be one of life’s most daunting experiences.  Nobody wants to do it; some people are proactive and work out the details beforehand, while others are hit with it unexpectedly.  In both scenarios, fear, sadness and shock can be among a variety of tough emotions you will feel.  Having a confidante and guide throughout the process is essential to lessening the burden just a bit so you can focus on your family and friends and just get through each day.  With more than 100 combined years’ experience, the Gendron family of Gendron Funeral Homes is your oasis.  If you are facing the loss of a loved one and not sure where to turn, the Gendron’s are there for you.

Besides being an industry leader, Gendron Funeral Homes is proud to be a part of the Public Servant Program, where the funeral and burial costs for a deceased firefighter are absolutely nothing to the family.  In fact, the Gendron family even bought their own firetrucks because deceased retired firefighters cannot ride on active firetrucks.  The Gendron’s could not stand to see that happen so they stepped in with this generous offering to many area retired firefighter families.  This is one of the ways the Gendron’s are always striving to go above and beyond for their clients.

The Gendron’s approach their transactions with IBE just as they do with their clients, delivering integrity and compassion with every dealing.  They would like the IBE family of merchants to know that they offer a variety of services.  When you are having to pay for these types of items on top of being in the throes of bereavement, thinking of finances can be overwhelming.  With IBE, the ease of use that accompanies bartering makes the process easy and seamless, just at the perfect time that you need things to be simpler.  Paul Gendron has always appreciated the “ways that IBE brings in new business that wouldn’t normally come to us.”  He has always found IBE to provide a continual string of referrals from members and their families, to their extensive network of additional friendships and professional relationships.  It has been a fruitful and positive experience for the Gendron family.  As Paul likes to say, “IBE is great for paying for A/C, landscaping – – all types of business costs without having to use real cash.”
