"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."
