During this very sad time, the arrangements and funeral for our father were carried out with such professionalism and compassion. Having to negotiate with the State of Maryland where our father died; having the funeral in CT, and also having to meet with yet another funeral director in Maine where we live could have been very difficult. The staff at Leete-Stevens made our burden easy. They walked us through the process and every detail with patience and kindness. The funeral was memorable and perfect in every way. We offer them our sincerest appreciation.

Being a life time resident of the area (and my family has been in the area for over 100 years), we have come to rely on Leete-Stevens in our time of need. They are always compassionate, caring, and know how to make the difficult easier. Now in their 4th generation, the tradition of caring and empathy continues with Sean and the Stevens family.
