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.

“Moss handled the pet cremation of our beloved dog. We dealt with several different staff members during the process and they were ALL extremely nice to work with. From our family to yours…thank you.“

“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.“

“My dad suddenly passed away. We contacted Laird to handle the final arrangements, as my mom's service was there a while ago. The process was made simple, seamless and no stress was added. No one wants to make final arrangements while grieving; however, this funeral home was so accommodating with allowing us time to prepare and grieve. The funeral home went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you for everything. It was an amazing final chapter.“
