Midwest Creamation and Funderal Services jumped right out to me. From the staff Jessa and Missy that I worked with were so efficient and kind hearted.

Too bad I couldn't check off 10 stars. They are the best. Thank you for taking such good care of Mt son. God Bless.

My daddy recently passed away 2/16/20 & they were just so wonderful, when they came to my house to pick up his body after he had passed at home with my husband and myself they were ever so gentle with him, they were so very respectful, everything the did and said was done with so much love and empathy. They are very respectful charismatic, loving, kind, nurturing sweet people. Everything they did and offered us during our time of need was so very tasteful and elegant. The prices were quite fair as well. I didn't feel like I was being lied to or taken for a ride on anything I did with them and even still months on down the road they still maintain contact and send me cards making sure that I am okay. This is thus far the best place you could ever possibly want to go if you ever unexpectedly or suddenly loose someone you love and care about. I promise you will not regret going here ever and you'll be so glad when you do go with them. Most definitely wouldn't ever regret it!

Our family had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience. During an already emotional…read moretime, we were met with poor communication, unprofessional behavior, and numerous mistakes that added unnecessary stress and heartbreak. Issues we encountered: It took an excessive amount of time to receive a return call just to schedule the service. We were told the ONLY available day was Friday or we would have to wait an entire additional week because there were "no Saturdays available." After looking into the schedule further, there were no services listed for Saturday at the time. The Funeral Director was extremely rude and unprofessional throughout the entire process. He did not properly review the pre-paid service plans that my grandparents had already purchased, including plots, casket, vaults, and opening/closing services that were fully paid in advance. When we asked multiple times for the Manager or General Manager's contact information to verify the plans, he refused to provide it and instead insisted the full payment be made by Thursday or the service would not happen. The funeral home had incorrect plot information in their system due to someone writing down incorrect details. Thankfully, we had our paperwork showing the correct plots and were able to get it corrected before burial. On the day of the service, the requested hair, makeup, and nails for my grandmother were not done according to our wishes and appeared poorly done. The obituary was incorrect even though the family provided a completed version. The Funeral Director made changes without confirming accuracy. Service handouts contained multiple errors, including missing pallbearers' names and incorrect last names. The facility itself appeared old, run down, dusty, and not well maintained. The audio system had issues, and the video tribute would not play correctly. It took 30 minutes to resolve, and ultimately a 13-year-old family member had to get it working. The Funeral Director struggled to locate or play the requested music selections, despite being provided the song titles and links ahead of time. Four months later, we are still waiting for the headstone to be placed. When visiting the cemetery, we found only a placement marker and items we had left at the plot the previous week were gone. Families should not have to manage these issues while grieving. We trusted this funeral home to handle arrangements with professionalism, respect, and care, especially considering services were pre-paid. Unfortunately, this experience fell far short of expectations. I hope improvements are made so that other families do not have to endure this level of stress during such a difficult time.

Caroline made an appointment for us to bring her in on a Sunday afternoon, which was a relief. It felt very much like going to a funeral home to plan a human funeral. They offered a variety of vessels for her remains, as well as thoughtful paw & nose prints to remember her by- but she was not pushy trying to sell you these. The prices, in fact, were less than what we have paid for traditional cremation for our pets. Caroline was kind and compassionate through the whole process- and gave us private time to say goodbye to our beloved kitty- we weren't rushed. which meant a lot. While I hope not to need their services anytime in the near future, we will certainly choose the aquamation process again after learning more.
