Jeff Dunham
had this to say:
I just want to Thank Lemke Funeral home for guiding the Dunham's through the process. Both Tina, Mike and staff could not have been nicer and easier to work with. There was no pressure, or did we ever feel like they were working on our emotions. They handled everything from Insurance policies to writing the obituary and every detail in between. The Dunham's are so grateful for the way you treated us. Thanks Tina and Mike.

Lemke Funeral home was amazing for my mother. Every step of the way they were by my side helping me make sure she had the best service possible. All the drama that happens when someone passes was extremely stressful, and they went out of their way every time to take care of us. Not to mention they are incredibly clean and well taken care of. The funeral home itself is beautiful and a perfect place to have a service. Even after the completion of the funeral, the staff still assist me with any questions I have moving forward in this incredibly unknown process.

Lemke has done services for our family, recently being my mother's. They are always kind and compassionate and try to make it less stressful when making the preparations and doing the service. Mike and Tina are great people and make you feel more like family then a customer. I highly recommend them.

The folks here, helped me with the death of my son and they were wonderful, compassionate and helpful. Recently, my grandmother passed, so I suggested this service to my family. Once again, they have gone above and beyond for not only our needs per the service, but helping us with transportation as well. The folks here are absolutely flawless in their ways. I would recommend them above all.

had this to say:
Lemke handled my father's services in January, and did a fantastic job. Every single person at Lemke played a vital role - I have no feedback on how things could have been better or different. They honored my father so well, they were prepared for high foot traffic, communicated throughout the process, and made me feel at ease during one of the most difficult days of my life. Kudos to every single person at Lemke. Forever grateful.

FAQ
Throughout human history, and around the globe, people have gathered together to acknowledge the death of a member of the community. No matter who the deceased was, a funeral ceremony is the one (and sometimes the only) opportunity for everyone to come together to acknowledge their death, recognize the community's shared loss and share the burden of grief.
How long is a funeral service?
Simply put, "it depends on the service". Just as no two movies or novels are the same length or cover the same emotional ground; no two end-of-life ceremonies are the same.
Must I wear black to the funeral ceremony?
Black used to be the only color to wear to a funeral; but not anymore. Today things are less formal than they once were, and it's not totally uncommon for families to ask prospective guests to altogether avoid wearing black clothing. Should you have additional questions about funeral attire or etiquette, please contact us.
The preparation of the deceased can involve a number of different tasks performed by trained and licensed embalmer and restorative artists. Without going into too much detail; the body is temporarily preserved by embalming, refrigeration, or a combination of the two. It is washed, dressed and otherwise groomed; then placed in the chosen casket for viewing. Should you wish to know more about the process, contact us. There are also many excellent articles online describing the process in greater detail.
If it makes people uncomfortable, why is it necessary to view the body in the casket?
Human beings are interesting creatures: sometimes we need to see in order to truly believe. It's a way of confirming the fact that, indeed, this individual is dead; but it's also an opportunity to say your "good-byes". You may find it a cathartic time where you can quietly share a long-held secret, let go of any anger or resentment, and otherwise come to terms with their death.
The National Funeral Directors Association states the national median cost of a funeral details the average costs of a funeral in 2012: $7,045 (however, if a burial vault is required by the cemetery–and it usually is–the median cost can rise as high as $8,343). These statistics aside, the cost of a funeral service is wholly dependent on the specific services and products selected by the family member(s) responsible for making funeral arrangements. Your funeral director will thoroughly explain all options, ask the important questions about your family's budget restrictions; and otherwise do everything he or she can to provide you with a funeral, memorial service or celebration-of-life that meets your emotional and social needs, all the while staying in line with your financial expectations
How does the cost for a funeral ceremony compare to the cost of a memorial service or celebration-of-life?
Attempting to compare the costs of the three is rather like trying to compare oranges, mangoes and apples; it can't be done. Perhaps it's easier to see funerals, memorial services and celebrations-of-life as three points on a spectrum–a range, if you like–of ceremonial formats. At one end is the funeral; at the other, the celebration-of-life, and in the middle, the memorial service. The funeral is most commonly the most expensive of the three; which is especially easy to see when you consider the cost of the casket is a significant expense. The cost of any of the three is totally dependent on the choices you make during the arrangement conference.
