They took a traumatic and tragic time for our family and brought us such peace and comfort through their loving attention to detail and responsiveness through the whole process. My father-in-law loved rockets and space travel and when we pulled up to the cemetery we realized Ben had been playing "Rocket Man" on the drive there with the casket. That's just one example of the effort they took to make our final goodbyes so personal and beautiful. We really could not be more grateful for Winkel Funeral Home's kindness and professionalism during this time.

I never write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my recent experience. The woman I spoke with…read moreon the phone was quite rude. Earlier in the day, I called to inquire whether a family member was at the funeral home so I could assist my grandmother in sending a Red Cross message. Later, I called again to confirm that the family member had not yet been handled or transferred, as I had been informed otherwise by a relative. I'm not sure if this lady is having a bad day or what, but regardless of the circumstances, I believe it is wrong to speak to or treat grieving individuals, especially service members, in such a manner. Based on this lady's demeanor, I am glad my relative is not at this funeral home because a business is only as good as its worst employee.

I've been here both for visitations and for funeral services, and they seem to handle both well. They have a room in the back where loved ones can tuck away and have a bite to eat and regroup before heading back out to the visitation room, which my friend found a welcome break from a very claustrophobic visitation (her dad was very treasured in our community and their family a large one so turnout was intense). Parking is a little limited, but fortunately the street spots nearby are not metered, which I hope the city will continue to offer as downtown sprawls ever-outward and parking becomes more and more a paid luxury.

When my husband died in May, we found Purely Cremations to be the most economical choice, although…read morethey told me the fees had recently changed, and they did not honor the price that was on their website, even though I had a printed copy showing that was the advertised price. I feel they should have honored the price shown on their website. There were also a couple of additional fees that were not charged initially, and they charged me when I went to pick up the ashes. What choice did I have but to pay it at that point? Otherwise, they were professional and helpful, but I would recommend checking the obituary after it is posted to be sure it is complete. The end of my husband's obituary was missing when they posted it on the website; however, the correction was made quickly after I called to notify them.
