"Nickerson-Bourne handled the funeral and arrangements with compassion and professionalism. The director and staff supported us throughout the wake and funeralv - and their presence was not the focus - the focus was on the memorial of our mother's life and love that she shared with family and friends. Thanks to all at Nickerson-Bourne. Best, Diane Luciani"
