“Our family recently entrusted Symonds-Madison Funeral Home with arrangements for our mother’s services, and we could not have asked for a more compassionate team during such a difficult time.

Daniel, Jennifer, and everyone we worked with treated our family with incredible kindness, patience, and respect every step of the way. They guided us through countless decisions with genuine care and made a heartbreaking process feel a little less overwhelming.

Their attention to detail, professionalism, and sincere concern for our family did not go unnoticed. We are deeply grateful for the support they provided and would highly recommend Symonds-Madison to any family in need of funeral services.

Thank you for helping us honor our mom’s life with such dignity and care.“

“My family and I used Querhammer & Flagg Funeral Home after the death of my father in April 2026. This was my first experience using a funeral home and I had no idea what to expect. But I need not have worried because Querhammer & Flagg took care of everything. Absolutely everything. The staff are amazing. From my first contact all the way through the funeral and burial and subsequent follow-up, Abbie, Rachel, Heather and Jackie were kind and compassionate and patient and extremely competent and professional. Abbie, in particular,
Went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly the way the family wanted it. I cannot say enough good things about Querhammer & Flagg Funeral Home. They made a very sad and difficult time in our lives a lot easier to bear with their wonderfully caring and professional manner.“

The funeral services were handled with the utmost care, and everything went smoothly. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the families she serves, and I felt supported every step of the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy service.“

They were caring, compassionate, respectful and honored every single one of our wishes. The way they cared for my family members is something we are truly grateful for. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.“

“Nyji was a pleasure to work with. She has such a warm, friendly, and compassionate personality. I buried my dog at Windridge and Nyji was so supportive during a very difficult time. I could feel her compassion from the moment I met her. She helped me and my family have a memorable (thoughtful attention to detail and done beautifully) burial for my dog. Windridge is lucky to have Nyji!“

“Nick and Luke were AMAZING! They made a difficult time seamless and they handled everything. They were so courteous and empathetic and I highly recommend working with them during your time of loss.“

“Extremely pleased.
The entire staff that assisted myself and the other family that did get involved.
Peace of Mind is everything to anyone who deals with a recent death in a family.

No matter what age the deceased individual was.

Very courteous and very patient with questions.

This Funeral home had been used by many family members since the late 1950's and they have feelings also.
The funeral home on Center St. in Elgin itself is in itself a beautiful place and....

they answer their phone all the time - which is helpful because grieving persons may not respect others.

I was sent there less than 1day after my 95 year old mother passed and they are tactful and good listeners.

Very gracious and were willing to answer any questions.“

“Just wanted to thank the Laird Funeral Home for the reliable and compassionate care of our family after the loss of my twin sister. We have used their services many times and have never been disappointed.

Blessings to Rob and all at Lairds in Elgin.“
