They have perpetual care and they follow through in informing loved ones when items will be removed if you want to retrieve. The staff are ALWAYS working hard and caring for the grounds. Once I got there a little late one cold winter evening and was a little afraid to be out there alone as might was approaching and one of the groundsmen must have sensed it, came and helped me clean the leaves, got back on his tractor and he stayed until I finished all 3 graves. Never said a word but hello. I will always remember that and thank him. The Consulting staff are VERY compassion- ate, comforting, patient and helpful. Provides guidance when needed when the family is lost in making rational decisions, never pushy, explains everything. If you have a problem with headstones ir any issues, they get right on it. We are very happy our loved ones are with St. Peters. Thank you all.

They explained every option clearly, never rushed us, and were completely transparent and fair with pricing. They thought of things we wouldn't have and took amazing care of our family so we could focus on being together during such a difficult time. They coordinated everything seamlessly and handled every detail with compassion and respect. My grandma was honored beautifully, and it brought us so much comfort knowing she was in such caring hands. I'm deeply grateful for the support, guidance, and genuine kindness we received. I can't recommend Irwin Chapel enough.

As distressing as those events were, Irwin Chapel handled the arrangements with professionalism and compassion, from the initial call, to the arrangements, to the obituary, to the service. The setup of the latest service was quite lovely, and gave solace to those in attendance. I don't foresee using their services anytime in the near future but I wanted to commend them for their dedication and service to providing empathetic guidance during our time of grief.

I've had to deal with several funerals over time with their Home, and my family and I have always received excellent service and care here. They've helped a great deal not just with the initial proceedings, but much of paperwork and other advisement over the course of time, long after any actual responsibility had been satisfied. My grandmother recently passed, but my mother, father, grandfather, and other family have been taken care of there as well. Gideon never left our side, and even after members of other....organizations (some their fault, some not)..... couldn't help us finish the proceedings, Gideon came prepared, prayer in-hand. Very supportive, and his and his Home's acts are things I won't soon forget. I saw Sarah's two-bit review (and the only one, I'll add) above (she only did two, ever, based on her profile), and couldn't help but post. Gideon and his crew deserve better than to be dirtied by someone no one here will ever meet.

PREFACE: I plan to update as my experience unfolds, but as…read moreof now, this For-Profit is not honoring a 60 year old "Immediate Need" contract my grandmother took out for 2 plots in 1965. She purchased one for my Veteran grandfather and another for my herself -- both Paid In Full! Years ago my mother left me a box to open upon learning of her death, which was this, 2025. MY BACKSTORY: Grandmother purchased the plots 1965. She died in CA, 9.21.2001 leaving my mother next inline as the "Assignment of Interment Rights" holder. My Mother died in CA, 12.24.22. May 2025, I learned of her death and received her ashes from the L.A. Cemetery and Crematory in Boyle Heights, CA. If I hadn't, she would have been buried in a Mass Grave of the Unclaimed. In her box were copies of documents from 2001 where Valhalla Management, Mr Zell, nicely confirmed that upon my mother's death, I, her only child, would be next inline as "Assignment of Interment Rights" holder. Not having a public email nor an 800 number, makes it costly for out-of-state family. The only way I was able to get in touch with Valhalla was a DM/PM on facebook. May 2025 I reached out and staff named Nick, EVENTUALLY, replied asking me to email documents for him to look at. So, I sorted through Moms box once more to make sure no documents were overlooked. Early July 2025, 2 emails with various PDFs were sent. Late July no response. I did a followup DM/PM on facebook, that too, was ignored. (You can tell when someone read a DM) CURRENTLY JULY 2025: Once they are satisfied I am who I am, the challenge for me is to decide which of 3 CREMATED family members should be interned at Valhalla. They are: my Grandmother, my Grandfathers famous sister, or my mother. I would LOVE to place all 3 there, and give accolades if that is possible. As of this writing, I can't say because no one has replied to my correspondence. Just days ago I left a short Follow-Up DM/PM regarding my emails. Nada. CONCERN: Will or will they not honor a Contract that has been satisfied monetarily? Whether it be of my doing, or other family members with more tenacity, will they step up? It would be great for this to workout the way my grandmother envisioned! I would love have them handle my mothers Obituary Notice as well. Let's hope! As I stated, I will update as this unfolds. Really shouldn't be this way, but, here we are.

Baue has been the funeral home of choice for my family for decades. They have always done a great…read morejob from start to finish. Most recently as soon as we learned of my great- aunt's passing, I went up to the home to get boards to make her memorial photo boards and they were ready immediately. This Cave Springs location is beautiful and is fully staffed to direct visitors to the correct room. There is also ample space for refreshments in a place where family can go to decompress and children can feel more comfortable away from the main viewing room. Today we were there to attend the wake of a neighbor. Not only does my family trust Baue, but most of my friends and acquaintances also choose them as well. Sadly, I have been here more times than I can count in addition to their location on Kings Highway in Saint Charles. Can it be expensive? Yes, but you get what you pay for. I highly recommend.

And my dad was a normal size man. 6'3 and 200 lbs, they come 3 hours later while we have to see my dad just lie there dead and sent two ladies under 5'5 who weight nothing. They had to get the police to help, who were grown me . Then their EV van breaks down in my driveway, where my dead father sits. They call us later and arrange times for us to meet and tell me we will meet with Jennifer. We come and it's a man named Andrew who did everything he could to make us spend a ton of money even though I told him what my dad told us he wanted. Andrew had us sit there for hours waiting on him to make all these statements of different ways to get more money from us. We never met Jennifer. We ordered two death certificates, we had to pay for them and we were told we would get them when the doctor signed off. They sent one to the I srua ne company without telling us, asking us or even allowing us to make a copy and send it. The life insurance paperwork stated a copy would suffice but Baue took it upon their selves to sent it. When they finally cremated my dad 3 weeks later because they claimed the doctor didn't sign off, they refuse to tell me when we could get their ashes. They had me driving from one building to another ad. Gave us an assistant. This little assistant lady kept telling us she was not comfortable telling us when we could get their ashes and they will call me when they can. I had to give my name 43 times and number because they couldn't tell me anything ever. That's all I was ever told. And they gave me emails that were wrong when I was sick as hell, they made this whole process horrid. And after I got my father's ashes they sent me a coupon for 600 off for someone in my family if we plan in 6 months how disgusting is this place. And the coupon only works if we choose to have the ceremony there.
