We Facilitate Only One Service or Visitation at a Time. Some area funeral homes will hold multiple services in their facility at the same time which can cause confusion and embarrassment. We commit to only facilitate one service at a time in our funeral home. This means your family and friends will have the exclusive use of our entire facility and the full attention of our staff during the service or visitation.
Our facility at 3200 Limestone Road offers a Coffee Lounge for your comfort and convenience.
In order to maintain the highest standard of exceptional service we need to know the areas where we can improve. Therefore, we ask for feedback from each family we serve regarding specific areas of our service. As a result, we can make appropriate adjustments and continue to provide higher levels of service.

Below and throughout this site you will have the opportunity to read excerpts from letters or notes of appreciation from families we have recently served. After all, it is not our opinion, but theirs, that really matters.

"We had used another funeral home for my mother and were not particularly happy with them, so we decided to switch for my father...
...there was no comparison in service! Everyone and everything about this experience was far superior. The staff were kind, friendly, helpful, and very patient! They were wonderful and we have already recommended the Doherty Funeral Home to others. We were very pleased and impressed..."
