Thurston, a 28 year licensed funeral director and embalmer, son of the late Myrna (Long) and James F. Thurston, Jr., is a former longtime Naugatuck resident, who grew up working in the family oil and ice business, D. Thurston's and Sons. Jeff and his wife, Melissa, have owned and operated the Rowe Funeral Home in Litchfield since 2006 and are the proud parents of their daughter, Morgan. Melissa has transitioned to working in the Naugatuck office. She's honored to be serving the community where her husband grew up. James A. Mengacci, a licensed funeral director and embalmer for over 34 years, is a lifelong resident of Naugatuck and an active member of the local community.
