“We have used Vander Plaat Memorial Home in the past, or I should say my family has. So when my mother had passed I figured this is the place I would reach out to.

From the opening conversation with them until the actual burial they were extremely curtious and sympathetic to our needs, they even had my father's info on file making my mothers one request of the same casket possible.

I cannot say enough good things about Connor and his team. They have even reached out a couple of weeks after just to check in. I would highly recommend Vander Plaat.“

“We cannot thank Michael and his entire team enough for everything they did for our family during one of the hardest moments of our lives. From the very beginning, they guided us through every step of the funeral process with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care.

They took care of every detail, including arranging the church Mass, coordinating for a priest to come to the funeral home to pray with our family, helping us with cemetery information, and making sure all of the necessary paperwork was completed. We never had to worry about anything because they handled it all with such kindness and respect.

At the end of the services, they even gathered all of the flowers for us, which was one less thing for our grieving family to think about. Their attention to detail and support meant more than words can express.

Thank you, Michael and your amazing team, for honoring my dad with such dignity and for making this incredibly difficult time a little easier for our family. We will always be grateful for your compassion, dedication, and exceptional service.“

When my father recently passed, Tim and Ed were absolutely incredible and helped my Mom and I give my father the wake and funeral he so deserved.

I am grateful that they were able to help us, especially since my father was coming in from a different state and truly made our lives easier. Will see them again.“

“My family and I would like to give the Ippolito-Stellato Funeral Home the highest compliments for an exceptional memorial service. We lost our aunt on April 11, 2026. We had pressing schedules with all of our family members and the director, Lou Jr, went over and above to ensure all schedules were met for the services.
The Stellato family has been friends with our family since 1960, and from Italy also. Our aunt met with Lou 15 years ago to arrange all her final wishes. He was very accommodating and took time to discuss every detail.
When she passed away, I notified Lou’s office. He immediately replied to me and gave me a direct contact. He and his staff were extremely communicative throughout the entire process, making it easy for our family. They explained each step in detail. The memorial video screen in the room was so nice, so that each visitor could see memories of themselves with the deceased.
The Ippolito-Stellato Funeral Home will always get our highest recommendation for an exceptional job and professionalism. Thank you to all of you…“

I highly recommend contacting John at Manke Memorial. Thank you.“

I truly can say this staff puts their best foot forward every time to make such a difficult process so much easier.“
