Mayes Ward Dobbins Funeral Home & Crematory

Jeremy was absolutely wonderful. He guided us through a very difficult time with patience and kindness. He made everything go so smoothly by coordinating things we would not have even thought of.

Peardon Family March 10, 2023

We’ve had the misfortune of losing two babies in less than a year of each other. As Catholics, burial is important, and we were so blessed to have found Mayes Ward-Dobbins and the respect and love we felt with Allen, and the staff is above and beyond. I’ve already recommended them to others, and my experience with our most recent loss has solidified it.

Jeremy provided exactly what we wanted and he handled everything we needed! You have found the right place, to honor your loved ones and without any hesitations, I completely reccomend Jeremy and MWD Funeral home. The Chapel is beautiful and the streaming service allowed everyone to attend and provide their Love and Suport to the family! Their level of professionalism made this a wonderful tribute for Richard. When the need arises again, we will put that responsibility, in their very capable hands! Thank you Jeremy and God Bless You for everything!

Chad, Jerry and the rest of the sweet people at Mays Ward-Dobbins were so wonderful in helping us commemorate my mother's passing. Their posture was, from the moment we first contacted them, how can we help? They helped us plan a graveside service that honored Jesus Christ and celebrated my sweet Mama. We are happy to recommend them.

I can’t speak enough kind words about this place and Chad. I had no idea how to plan a funeral. And given that my dads death was sudden and unexpected and he didn’t have any plans in place, I was at a lost. Chad walked me and my brother through every step. He showed kindness and compassion above anything else. He followed my lead on anything that I needed or wanted at the funeral service. He was readily available to me by his personal phone, no matter the hour. I will be forever indebted to this place for allowing me to give my dad the service and kindness he deserved. Everyone here is amazing, but especially our director, Chad.

McMorris Family February 18, 2020

Sadly this is our second family funeral over the last couple of years, BUT our experience, thru both services, from the sad beginning to the very sad resting place, has been as heartfelt for the staff at Mays Ward Dobbins, as it was for the family. The staff that Terry Pendley has put together is truly gifted at what they do, giving guidance & support with no kind of pressure on what 'should be done', instead tons of respect for families & their wishes, with pure understanding thru the sorrow. A personal Thank You & God Bless to this increditable staff.

Been meaning to write this for a while now and just now getting around to it. This place was just incredible! They thought of everything, were personal, sensitive, and hard working. They did everything to take care of our family and do it for a great price and do it in an excellent way. I am a widow of 3 little children, and they were so thoughtful with that, even setting up a private and comfortable room for me to nurse my little baby in during a break from the visitation. They called ahead to make sure we had the best parking and the most for the burial. Its family run and you can tell because they treat you like family not a business. They have integrity and do an EXCELLENT job in every single detail. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

When our 2 Uncles passed away in 2021, one in May and the other in December, Mays Ward at Macland Road took care of the arrangements for our family.

Sarah was amazing and made it easy on my family during this difficult time. She was professional while being very down to earth and personable. She has many talents from helping us decide on a casket, organizing the service, hairdresser and driving the hearse.

My family has been using Mayes Ward-Dobbins since 1985. They are the most professional, caring and friendly group you will ever encounter. My first husband died in Fla in 1999. Terry Pendley brought him back to Ga with no problems. My second husband has just passed away during COVID-19 and Steve Duncan was wonderful and so helpful during such a trying time. I wouldn't trust my loved one to anyone else.
