Barbara M.

I don't know what I would have done after the sudden and unexpected death of my husband of 30 years with Gary Fernald and his staff. They helped me through the estate process with care, concern, efficiency, and patience. They made sure to explain everything to me in great detail and clarified things I didn't understand. I highly recommend Gary and his staff to anyone needing such services."
