The Thurston Rowe Funeral Homes, a joining of The Rowe Funeral Home and the Nutting-Rowe Funeral Home, have been serving families in Litchfield County for more than 60 years. The Rowe Funeral Home is a continuation of the former Torrant Funeral Home of Meadow Street in Litchfield and the Nutting-Rowe Funeral Home was formerly the Nutting Funeral Home of Migeon Avenue in Torrington. The funeral homes had been managed and operated by Bradford H. Rowe and his wife, Carol, until January of 2007, when Jeffrey R. Thurston and his wife, Melissa A. Thurston, purchased the funeral home. Jeff has been a licensed Funeral Director/Embalmer since 1985 and served on the Connecticut State Board of Examiners of Embalmers and Funeral Directors for seven years. Melissa manages the office and day to day running of the funeral home. Looking to the future, Jeff and Melissa, along with their support staff, continue to provide traditional earth burials, cremation services and life celebrations for families of all backgrounds in Litchfield, Torrington, Morris, Goshen and the surrounding communities. Jeff and Melissa live in Litchfield with their daughter, Morgan, and dog, Riley.
