"All the staff at Doane, Beale & Ames (Dennis) were professional and expressed compassion. Given the pandemic has made our world a different place, along with the emotional difficulty of loosing my wife, the folks I encountered were Incredibly responsive and helpful including follow up telephone calls to the town to hasten the process of the death certificate and offering me a list of services including grief counseling. I was impressed and grateful."

"My Mom passed suddenly during Covid isolation, and not from covid itself. Lisa was very reassuring and comforting during the extended wait time before my siblings and I were able to travel out of state for services and burial in MA. Her attention and the attention of her staff and assistants to all of our needs was invaluable during this difficult process And during this challenging time."
