We recently lost my grandmother and could not have been more impressed with Debra, Tom, Teri and…read moreeveryone on the Goodman-Bensman team, who had a hand in helping us to plan her funeral. From the moment we walked in the door, we immediately felt at ease when we were greeted by Debra. Not only were we taken care of with extreme consideration and kindness, but Debra made sure that every detail for my grandma's celebration of life, was taken care of. We worried about nothing and everything, including the follow-up after the service far exceeded our expectations and was second-to-none. Thanks to everyone at Goodman-Bensman for making this experience so stress free and easy for our family.

I sought the services of Goodman-Bensman after my father passed away but after this experience…read morewould not recommend them to anyone. A cousin had found and recommended Goodman-Bensman because it was important to part of our family that my father be given the traditional Jewish funerary rites, like a ritual bath and watchman. I cannot speak to how/how well those traditions were carried out because we weren't present for those, but I can speak to how shockingly expensive all goods and services were with this outfit; a wooden casket (which arrived dented), air transport home, and associated services ($2,015 forwarding fee separate from airfare) cost us more than the funeral, burial, and everything else with the other funeral home and synagogue combined. Furthermore, the way Goodman-Bensman demanded full payment (but wouldn't even accept American Express) at 10:30 pm the night before the scheduled flight seemed in poor taste, to say the least. The receiving funeral home also reported that they ended up having to pay the airline themselves (and getting reimbursed by Goodman-Bensman) because Goodman-Bensman was unable to do so. The receiving funeral home also stated that communication was slow/poor with Goodman-Bensman and that my father's last name had been misspelled in the paperwork which was sent over, causing his death notice in the local paper to be misspelled. My father, moreover, wished to be buried in his blanket and favorite hat, which I communicated clearly with the funeral director, Tom. My father's hat was ultimately thrown in a linen bag unceremoniously at his feet and was thought to have been lost or misplaced until a few phone calls (and an unpleasant conversation with the seemingly defensive and resentful Tom) clarified the error. The last straw came weeks later, as I waited for copies of his death certificates to arrive; most funeral homes will notify the Social Security Administration of a death, but when my father received an SSA payment this month, I called the SSA to find out that the funeral home had never done so. Kimberly, who took my call at Goodman-Bensman, claims that they notified the SSA online but could not provide a record. The local SSA offices report that they received nothing. All in all, I'm very disappointed in the services my family and I received from Goodman-Bensman -- services for which we paid a substantial price. I regret my decision not to seek the services of another funeral home, which would have handled my father's last wishes and trip home with more grace and tact.

Years ago, our family purchased a plot at Pinelawn. When my mother-in-law passed, she was laid to…read morerest at the foot of her son who died far too young. The staff at Pinelawn handled everything with such grace and compassion. They organized a beautiful procession to the gravesite, had chairs set up for the family, and even set up a complimentary champagne toast to her--on what would have been her birthday. They welcomed us to stay and watch as her urn was placed in the ground and gave us time to add flowers ourselves. It was an incredibly hard day, but their care and thoughtfulness made it bearable. We are truly grateful.

I highly recommend Schmidt Funeral Home for all families in the West Bend area. They clearly know what they are doing. Amy was responsive as the planning evolved. Amy bent over backwards to be sure the process was streamlined. All costs were very clearly spelled out and fair. Amy and Scott are who we will turn to down the road for other family needs. We recommend you do the same. We also have a nice remembrance book for our mom to look back on. Amazing work.

I recently lost my mother-in-law and my family and I were not prepared. Luckily, She had gone to…read moreEvert-Luko to do some preplanning before her death so at least we had somewhere to start. I am SO GRATEFUL she chose Evert-Luko!!! When she passed, they were at the hospital immediately to care for her from the start. We met with the funeral director, Clint, a few days later and he was so kind and caring. He made us feel so welcome and it was like walking into his "home." We made all the arrangements with his help and it was such an easy meeting. He was very easy to talk to! With his help, we booked the church Mass at St. Charles, picked beautiful floral arrangements, finalized details, and snagged the VFW across the street for the luncheon after the burial. Sue (his right-hand woman) was amazing too!!! She took care of all of the backend stuff and made the arrangements for the luncheon. The food was amazing (we went traditional luncheon fare) and I was so happy with how it turned out. THANK YOU SUE!!! The day of the funeral went so smoothly. I was nervous about it all because I've never had to plan a funeral and I wanted my mother-in-law's send-off to be everything she deserved. Evert-Luko DELIVERED!!! Clint had another important engagement that day so Gino stepped in and walked us through the whole day. Gino was so attentive, calmed my nerves, and made sure we were all where we were supposed to be. We had a full Catholic mass for my mother-in-law and I am not Catholic so I was very overwhelmed with the traditions, but Gino was right by my side to help me through it and made sure I didn't "look lost." It all went off without a hitch. Thank you Gino for everything you did to make that day smooth and nerve free!!! From the bottom of my family's hearts, we THANK YOU ALL for being there with us during that really difficult time. I really could not have done it without you all. Evert-Luko staff took everything off my plate so I could focus on my grieving family and process our loss. If you require this service, I highly recommend Evert-Luko! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We had family members here back to back. We dealt with the Man Mr. Clark and he was awesome to our…read morefamily and was fair. The Lady Mrs. Clark charged us nearly double for the same type of services as previously passed away family members. It was so sad, double talk, poor attitude, eyes rolling, head bobbing, and the whole experience was heartbreaking when she took care of us. After witnessing this, our family has vowed to NEVER send any of us there. When we pass. They now own Leon Williamson Funeral home in Milwaukee WI. Our family will stay clear of both and will pass down to generations. Some say, the only way they will go is if they could be received by Mr. Clark only. He is kind and patient and they have another guy that comes and Prays with the family, I think his name is Bill, he's nice too. So if you go to either of these funeral homes, deal with Mr. Clark directly. Lady Clark is so rude and mean and please be mindful, she will let you know she is the Boss! Oh and if she gets your love ones body BEFORE you have spoken to Mr. Clark, she got you and she gonna PREY on your sympathy. That's her job and she wants every penny she thinks you have. It's your choice. This is my opinion and me witnessing how she played my family hurts because we have trusted the Clarks with our love ones for years. Paradise was the only place we went to even with the Previous owners Mr. Bell and Stark who was friends with my Grandparents. The relationship is broken over greed and taking advantage. Also be mindful that if you have insurance, there is an additional charge. I think most funeral homes charge a certain percentage so if you have cash, pay with it and get all your money back from the Policy later. Again this is my opinion and what I witnessed

This funeral home preys on people who aren't familiar with the complexities of the death care…read moreindustry and the rules they must follow. It relies on confusing and pressuring people during what for most people will be one of the most emotional times of their lives. When doing business with this funeral home, do not take this funeral home's word for anything. They will tell you conflicting or incorrect information about the people in their care. They will omit or be obtuse about information that you should have during this process. You will have to verify the information they tell you by seeking information from multiple funeral homes and individual online research. Every time you call this funeral home, someone different will answer the phone and will not have information about the person under this funeral home's care. Sometimes you get lucky and the person you were waiting for a call back from answers the phone. There will only be one person who can help you, and they will likely be busy doing something else and they will not return your call. You will have to call this funeral home multiple times a day to get information that should be easy to get from anyone working there. This funeral home will make you jump through hoops that no other funeral home I spoke to in multiple states could understand. Because of this unintentional, or perhaps purposeful ignorance, this funeral home will attempt to push you to make decisions that you should not have to make, or take actions that you should not have to take. The year is 2024, and this funeral home does not understand that the internet exists and that not everything needs to be done in person. If you have a choice when you require the services of a funeral home, save yourself the headache and choose a different one. There are many other reputable funeral homes in the Milwaukee area who will not treat you poorly or like a cash cow. You could even ask other funeral homes about this one. The other funeral homes in the area that I spoke to were aware of this one and how it operates.
