Team Spotlight: The Heart of Mayes Ward Dobbins
When families choose Mayes Ward Dobbins, they aren’t choosing a building or a brand—they’re choosing people. The quiet problem-solvers who slip a tissue into a trembling hand. The directors who learn every loved one’s name and story. The attendants who notice the small details that make a service feel personal. These are the faces and hearts behind our work, and they’re the reason so many families trust us in their most tender moments.
That’s why we’re launching our Team Spotlight series on the blog and across our social channels. In each installment, you’ll meet one of our teammates—hear why they answered the call to serve, learn what excellence means to them, and see how their unique gifts help us care for families with dignity and warmth.
Why Spotlight Our Team?
Because service is personal. Funerals are about people and stories. Our team brings empathy, craftsmanship, and calm to every detail—from first call to final farewell.
Because little things aren’t little. A well-timed phone call, a perfectly placed boutonniere, a favorite hymn discovered and added at the last minute—these moments are created by teammates who care.
Because trust is earned. When you know the people behind Mayes Ward-Dobbins, you understand the standards we hold and the promises we keep.

Our Promise to Families
Every spotlight is ultimately a promise: that behind every arrangement conference, every reception in our Maple Parlors, every veteran’s flag or floral setup—there’s a professional who treats your family like their own. Our craft is logistics and ceremony; our calling is compassion and presence.
“Care is not a task list. It’s a posture.”
— The Mayes Ward-Dobbins Team
