"After more than thirty years in the funeral business, you develop a certain way of doing things—and a certain level of expectation. Then one day, it’s your family. At the time, I was away, working aboard a cruise ship in the Caribbean and Mexico. And when everything happened, there was only one person I trusted to take care of it. Doughboy McLellan, in New Waterford. McLellan Funeral Home serves New Waterford, Glace Bay, Sydney, and surrounding areas, but we’re a Marion Bridge family. That didn’t matter. He handled everything. And he handled it right. The casket he chose on my behalf was exactly what I would have picked myself. That’s not something you leave to chance—and he didn’t. She looked the way she should have looked. He also arranged visitations in two different churches, recognizing her connection to both. That’s not something you have to do—but it’s something you do when you care enough to get it right. I’ve spent a lifetime in this profession. I know what good service looks like. And this was it."
