A Little About Us...
With facilities located in Berlin and Gorham in New Hampshire's White Mountains and in the shadow of the stunning Presidential Mountain Range, our communities are the gateway to the Great North Woods and the region's outdoor playground. We are home to Jericho Mountain State Park and over 1,000 miles of interconnected ATV trails, countless snowmobile trailheads that will take you from our community to destinations across the state, snow-shoeing, a half dozen ski areas, numerous hiking trails, hunting, fishing, and golfing to name a few of the abundant activities within an hours drive or less.
As a family, we have no greater priority than serving those who call on us. As such, we take great pride in our ability to work alongside our staff day to day. With family members in the office, supporting you and our families at minimum 5 days a week. We are not a firm where the owners spend more time away from the office than in it. We don't own a beach house or boat or take numerous European vacations. We stand side by side with our staff, work nights and weekends, and generally will not ask anything of our staff we have not done or would not do ourselves.
In the last 10 years, our firm has experienced exponential growth, and the future provides no shortage of opportunities for our firm and team. If you want to work for a family-owned funeral service, are willing to work hard, not cut corners, and have an unshakable ethical and moral compass, then we would love to have you as part of our team!
