WHAT OUR FAMILIES SAY

I just want to express how much appreciation I have for the staff at Doherty Funeral Home. From the beginning they were amazing and very patient with our family. Especially after losing my mom in January 2025 and my dad in October 2025. They made sure everything was exactly what we wanted and how we wanted for both services; especially during such a hard time for our family in all the same year. They will always have a special place in my heart; and I will always remember everything they did to make my parents' services absolutely amazing.
