At a time when you are vulnerable and usually emotionally overwhelmed, it is incredibly important…read moreto deal with a funeral home that is community based and beyond reproach and sensitive to your needs. This is the Kubaska Funeral Home. My family has had 8 family members buried from this establishment and each was extremely well done. Our satisfaction has been 100%. David Kubaska is a perfectionist whose technical proficiency is second only to his empathy for survivors. Preneed arrangements are offered and highly suggested from personal experience. No detail is too small for Kubaska's to tend to. Recently a relative's casket was custom made thanks to the intervention from Kubaska's.

Upstairs is where you pick out all the options and they are set up very beautifully with prices in plain view, so no awkward asking for a price. Multiple rooms with lots of seating.

Settling estates can be complicated and time-consuming but surprisingly Holt's fail to acknowledge…read morethis. Maybe they'll learn from this review. My previous experiences with them had been completely positive but that was with the previous owners - the Holt family. Under these new owners, the team provided attentive service and seemed to truly care but soon after the funeral, the owners resorted to rude and threatening phone calls. I honestly thought they had hired a collection agency! In the end, they made it perfectly clear that they were only interested in the money which as I mentioned can frequently take some time with complicated estates. If you are bereaved and grieving, then be warned and look for a service home with more integrity.

We were happy to find Gilman less than 2 miles from their house. We met with John who was very welcoming, patient, and helpful. He laid out all of our options and helped us plan my dad's celebration of life service. Their prices were reasonable and they made sure everything was covered including the cremation, service, prayer cards, obituary in the paper, etc. I would definitely recommend them if you unfortunately have a loved one pass away in this area. It will be a comfort knowing you are in great hands with this team.

My siblings and I were very happy with the service that Craig provided to us at the time of our…read morefather's passing. We recommend him wholeheartedly. Craig has the perfect demeanor for a funeral director. He is not only respectful and dignified, but also warm, kind, and compassionate. The way he handled every detail made us feel truly cared for - we didn't have to worry about anything. He gave us the information we needed at the exact moment we needed it - where to stand, where to walk, what to do, and what to expect. He even gestured silently to us in the church so that we knew all we had to do was look at him and he was right there to guide us. We know that this is what funeral directors do, but not all of them are as attentive. Craig guided us through our most difficult family time so carefully and thoughtfully that all the details fell perfectly into place. We were also impressed with the clear communication that transpired before, during, and after the entire process. Whenever we called (which was often), we received timely responses. He answered all of our questions - including ones that some consider 'taboo' to be curious about. It wasn't long before we breathed a collective sigh of relief because we knew we were in excellent hands. I think the best testament to Craig's exemplary service is to tell you that we have arranged to have Menard-Lacouture Funeral Home handle our mother's funeral when the time comes. He was our partner in laying Dad to rest. As unhappy a time as our mother's passing will surely be, it is comforting to know he will be there to lead the way. Our gratitude and thanks go to Craig and Menard-Lacouture Funeral Home.

They also accommodated our request for additional memorabilia tables and did a fantastic job setting up the area for the visiting hours and service and with helping us locate a priest who fit our loved ones style. The military burial was arranged as requested and was quite meaningful to us. Everything went smoothly on the day of the celebration of life for our loved one which made a very difficult day much easier. Funerals are never cheap, but the costs were aligned with what we have seen for other funeral homes. Thank you again to the wonderful, compassionate staff. We would definitely use your services again in the future.

She did an amazing job with both, so when my mother-in-law was placed on hospice in March, we called and asked specifically for her. From start to finish, Nicole began taking care of business and always made herself available, even on her days off. We wanted to place the obituary in the local paper, but it needed to be in quickly. My husbands aunt and I were trying to write it together by collaborating over the phone as we live in different states. We needed to make the deadline by 12:00 pm and we just made it but since we rushed there were many error's that we noticed after. I frantically got ahold of Nicole and without missing a beat she corrected the article right in time for the printed version. We were originally told that they couldn't guarantee an open casket, as we were waiting 2 weeks after she passed to have the funeral so that my son could come home on military leave for it. But Nicole made it happen. She even touched up my mother in laws regrowth, and colored her brown roots to blond. The services went very smoothly and Nicole organized the whole event with ease. Our family and friends were very pleased with the results. I realize that writing a review for a funeral director is not as glamorized as a review for a vacation, but it is something that all of us will have to face someday for not only ourselves but the loved ones on our life. I had a negative experience when we buried my father in law, with another funeral company. I can only say that this experience is etched in my memory that even exceeds the loss of my father in law. Having a kind, patient, caring, thoughtful person taking care of everything after your loved one has passed makes the experience much more bareable. Nicole has done this for us in all that she does and we will for ever be grateful.
