Therapy Dog Service


Beau the Therapy Dog

At Your Service


At Tubman Funeral Homes we offer a unique service to our families to support them with their loss, Beau the Therapy Dog. Beau meets and assists families at the funeral services for their loved ones. He is a calm and comfortable presence who provides stress relief to families. He is drawn to people that he feels needs it the most.
