"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..."
