Mary had worked several jobs before accepting the opportunity to work for the family business. She started out at the funeral home attending to the bookkeeping. Due to her outgoing and friendly personality, Mary quickly
became instrumental in multiple roles within the business. Mary is now a full time office manager; administrative assistant; preneed associate; resource /media/bostonfuneralhome/Mary3.jpgsupervisor; and above all, she is a friendly face and a compassionate voice.
