Reviews of Menke Funeral & Cremation Center (Mortuary)

Patricia Pomeroy

I had a great experience with the staff at Menke. I appreciate their care and concern when working with me on the details of handling my parents funeral details. I recommend them.

Gina Worch

Superior experience.

Christine Doerfler

I've appreciated Menke so much over the years. Nothing pushy ever! They have lovingly taken care of my aunt, stepfather and recently my mom. My aunt's details were complicated but never a problem with Menke. Whether simple or complex the results were the same--easy for me. And Menke supports the Sun City community in many ways. You can't go wrong with Menke.

It's a family business, serving and helping other families.

Robert Zimmerman and the entire staff were more than helpful during a very difficult time following the passing of our father. They are special people who are wonderful and caring and whom we truly appreciate. We would recommend Menke Funeral Home to anyone.

Wonderful experience, staff is amazing. Thank you

Susan T

Very caring and professional. Their pre paid arrangement program was a huge help.

Kim Clover

I would highly recommend this funeral home. I have had several family members pass away and always used this place. I recently used them again with my aunt and everyone was very kind and sincere. Peder and Leo went out of their way to make this experience less painful. This passing was complicated because not only were services planned for Sun City, but also Chicago. The staff took care of everything - all the details were confirmed with grace and dignity. I truly appreciate your helpfulness and support-again!

When I entered Menke Funeral Home a week ago and Duane came out to meet me, it just was right. I had visited several funeral homes but none of them "spoke" to me the way they did. No pressure what so ever.He showed me what was available and the services they could provide for me. All very respectful and courteous. Duane took care of everything and it was a smooth transaction in a ver difficult time for me. Yesterday we held my husband's celebration of life and it went dignified, the flowers were set up beautiful, the clergyman Tom Duane recommended was excellent. Duane recommended a gentleman named Tim Aulger, and he is a person that made a film of Marinus' life .He interviewed our family and friends about how Marinus was as a person, how he went through his life impacting other people. It was wonderful and a rare opportunity to being able to have a celebration of his life, without, when you watch it, the sadness we feel of loosing him. I can send this movie to our family in Holland, and they can watch his final service from the other side of the ocean. It was a dignified experience, from the moment I entered Menke funeral home, untill the moment all was done. Thank you Duane, thank you Peder, and thank you to all their staff that made it happen.

Five star service from a staff we'll always consider as family. The facility is top notch, couldn't be cleaner, tastefully decorated and private. We have felt this way the first time we parted with a family member with Menke and will never go any place else. Sincerely, Terry & Kathy Agosta

There are not enough words to express our gratitude to Menke Funeral Home. Burying one's child is the most difficult thing a parent will ever endure. Peder Strang made everything easier. He answered every question I had as if he knew I was going to ask it. He treated our family as his family. I couldn't be more thankful for him. When needed again, I won't go anywhere else.

My mother passed quickly and Menke worked with us to put together a memorable ceremony that honored mom and was comforting to the family. The staff was efficient, thoughtful, professional and responded to our every need. Highly recommended!

Cheri Robertson

Professional, personal, kind, caring....we never felt rushed, they gave us all the time we needed, they stayed out of our way but were available should we need the slightest thing. Everything was taken care of, every need anticipated. It does not get better than that. They also donated a tree to be planted in our mother's name. In 2016, it's refreshing to find a business like this that does what they say and does it with class, professionalism, and kindness. I cannot recommend them enough.

Paul Romagano

Menke was very mindful of my father's wishes and left me the most beautiful final memory of my father! Thank you so much!

Manny Camilon

Menke Funeral Home performed in a professional, reassuring and compassionate manner during this difficult time. After the initial meeting, I went away with one less concern. They were silently in the background but ready to respond to any changes to ensure the visitation and funeral services went smoothly. Many commented how beautiful the two services were. As a company, I highly recommend them to anyone needing their services. Sincerely, Manny Camilon, Jr.

These people can handle very difficult situations and they go the extra mile.

Christy L

My Mom passed away and I had no idea what to expect from a funeral home - this was my first foray needing one. Wow. They were kind, professional, sincere, just way above and beyond what I was expecting. Rob, Leo and the rest of the people were Amazing and really, really, really made our loss much more manageable. I can't thank them enough.

Jeannine Tudor

Only lived in this area for 3 years so didn't know where to turn for help when I lost my beloved Mother and Best Friend. With the help of great reviews we tried Menke first, after meeting Kelly...my family and I didn't have to look anywhere else! She made us feel like we always knew her!!! I must say, for going through such a heartbreaking time.. Kelly made everything so easy. I cant say enough good things about Kelly and Menke. I never thought it would be possible at such a time but she did bring a smile to my face and had us laughing. She's a sweet dear friend that you just haven't meant yet.

Carol

The kindness, compassion, professionalism and when appropriate right amount of humor made a very difficult process less stressful and painful. We were very pleased with the services they provided for my mothers celebration of life. This process was peaceful and comfortable and we are so appreciative of the above and beyond service of Peder and the entire staff.

Pamela Hibbert

The Menke Funeral Center treated our family with respect, kindness and compassion. Since we had an open casket, we were concerned about our loved one’s appearance. They matched our picture beautifully. The slide show was a lovely addition. We appreciated the attention to details at the Funeral Viewing as well as the Graveside Service. The attendants were respectful and understanding. The Menke Funeral Center worked with us to create a loving tribute to our loved one.

Make sure you have a very fast car when it comes time to follow the hearse to the graveyard. The hearse driver on the day of my mother's funeral service took off down Loop 101 heading to the National Memorial Cemetery going so fast, it was all we could do to keep it in sight. The funeral procession was strung out God only knows how far, and I was driving the first car behind it with my father going 80 mph and could barely keep up. I wish I had just let it go, but didn't know the way to the cemetery at the time. Maybe the driver had a hot date later that he wanted to get to so he was in a hurry? I wish I had complained to Menke at the time, but didn't since it was done. Their services were fine, but they apparently don't expend much effort in hiring their help.

My husband of almost forty years died in August. I was dreading going to the funeral home to make the arrangements so much! However, from the time I walked into the door of Menke with my two sons, I knew we had come to the right place. Everyone put us at ease, did not put any pressure on us and made us feel at ease with the decisions we had to make.

We were losing my husband to Alzheimer’s. A friend recommended Menke, as she used them for her husband. Robert helped me plan and arrange everything. He is a very caring gentleman. He helped me arrange everything the way my husband wished. Robert truly cares and respects you. When my husband ‘s time came everything was done with respect and compassion. We had total peace of mind and everything was done exactly as we discussed. We thank Robert for his caring. F. Becker

My first experience with a funeral home. My choice was excellent. From the first visit Rob and staff respected all my wishes for a simple process. Everything was explained to me and they truly listened. I will always remember their kindness for my husband. Linda Gonzalez
