REVIEWS OF Borek Jennings Funeral Home IN Michigan

Randy Osterlund

Borek Jennings Funeral Home handled my father's funeral service last August and I cannot say enough positive things about their staff, and how professional and personal each one interacted with our family. They treated us like we were the only family they were serving and gave us their utmost attention to all the details of the visitation and funeral service. All our guests commented to us on how awesome Borek Jennings staff greeted them and how friendly and helpful they were during our time of loss. One very incredible thing was the time they took to explain and help guide us through the acute loss period and grieving process (there is a difference). This information was invaluable to all our family members. I have never heard of the acute loss period until my father's death experience, but I am so thankful that I chose Borek Jennings Funeral Home to help our family through this difficult time. As you can imagine, I recommend their services whenever the topic comes up in conversation. From the moment they came to pick up my dad when he passed, Devin and Michelle honored my dad (who was a Veteran) by gently taking him away with an American flag draped over him. Devin was the funeral director who served our family and he could not have done a better job every step of the way. Such a gentle spirit, kind and caring. Another huge thing was that our family pre-determined to do a direct cremation without any visitation or service. When we went to the funeral home for our family private goodbye, dad looks so awesome (Anna did an incredible job with his preparation), we changed our minds and decided to have a short visitation and funeral service at Cornerstone EPC. Taking the opportunity to see dad in such a beautiful and peaceful state, being able to honor him, and allowing those who knew and loved him the opportunity to say a personal goodbye, was priceless. This was so important in allowing each of us to have some healthy closure of what they call, the acute loss period. Now we are in the grieving process, and after learning what we should expect as the days, weeks, months, and years go by, to be told it's okay to cry, and to learn how to keep dad's memory alive moving forward, we are in a much better place thanks to the Borek Jennings family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Borek Jennings did a truly lovely job, especially with such a fragile time in life, as a pall bearer, Todd explained the proceedings in a very comforting way, true professionals.

Debbie Kooperman

Our family went to Borek Jennings Hamburg based on other services we had attended there. The personalized care and attention provided by their staff is exceptional! My husband's service was everything we hoped it would be, friends and family still remark on how nicely Borek Jennings handled everything.

Kim Allison

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Todd and the whole staff were kind and comforting during my time of need upon the occasion of my mom's passing. I would highly recommend Borek Jennings before, during and after the loss of a loved one. The Grief Workshops sponsored by the funeral home were very helpful to my Dad in finding a new normal.

Nancy W

The staff were very supportive, knowledgeable, hospitable, and patient. We are very pleased everything ran smoothly, and Borek Jennings was adaptable and helpful. We worked with Todd and Julie the most and they were simply the best. UPDATE: If you are interested in a second day of visitation/viewing, be sure to ask, as this information was not volunteered to our family. (apparently the 2nd day is also at no additional cost)

Todd helped us through a tragic loss. His support and guidance was far more than we expected but exactly what we needed.

We would highly recommend Borek Jennings funeral home. A few weeks ago my father suddenly passed away. Devin and all the staff made a difficult situation as smooth as possible. They are very compassionate, kind, and helpful. We felt like we were treated like family. The service was very nice and memorable. We had two children involved, and Devin went out of his way to support and educate them. He was extremely easy to talk to and supported us through this difficult time. When we were making arrangements there was no pressure to upgrade anything. Thank you Devin and all the staff of Borek Jennings. The family of Daniel Hill

I was so impressed with how they handled my mother-in-law's funeral in 2015, I came to work for the company. Todd and Karl are very warm and welcoming along with the rest of the staff.

Michele Eichstead

I was not impressed from the minute we walked in the door to consult with Mr. Borek. Our tragic loss came during a holiday however, as someone who has done thousands of funerals I expected better care and more organization. The customer service my sister and I received was extremely out of line, remember we are grieving the loss of a loved one. Being yelled at over the phone trying to get a questions answered, harassment for payment when it was in the mail, to the day of the funeral being rudely called during our luncheon and told we had to come get the flowers right this second because they were closing. Needless to say the experience was unpleasant. However Anna and Devin were kind and welcoming to our friends and family during our visitation and funeral and we appreciate them wholeheartedly.

Todd Borek was a very reassuring presence at my grandmother's funeral. He kept us informed as to what to expect, but gave us space to grieve and mourn. It is not the easiest time to get through, but Borek-Jennings made the process as easy as can be expected.

Jean

Borek Jennings gave me such peace of mind preparing myself and my family for my husbands funeral. They brought us all together-“on the same page” It became a much more positive experience. Thank you Borek Jennings for being there for us!

Paul Donnelly

Todd was wonderful. Generous with his time, sensitive to all of us including the young children, and encouraging in a difficult time. His staff handled everything beautifully. I readily recommend Borek-Jennings.

Michael Benkovsky

My wife, mother of my children, and grandmother to my sons children and most of all soul mate passed away and Devon and Randy of Borek Jennings Funeral were very good at guiding me and my children through the process. With their help a very fitting memorial was put together and well received by all who attended. I cannot thank them enough for their help and support.

Kevin Birk

I am not one who goes out to the internet and wrires reviews. But I have had two deaths in my family in the past two months. It has been troubling times. But I have to say Borek Jennings funeral home was outstanding. They put myself and my family in the comfort zone. They took away all the worries and let us focus on putting the ones who have passed to rest. They adapted to my families special needs. There communication was impeccable. I can’t say enough about their staff. They are all very good at what they do. I would highly recommend if you suffer the loss of a loved one call Borek Jennings and put your final farewells in their hands. You will not be disappointed.

My husband & best friend recently passed away leaving me heartbroken & devastated. When I went to Borek-Jennings funeral home to plan his final farewell, I was met with not only respect but warm caring people---the staff & funeral directors especially Devin who worked personally with me & was easily accessible. They helped me every step of the way & were very supportive throughout the process. They accommodated all my requests & assisted me in making the funeral truly about my husband which was so important to me including a phenomenal military honors portion with an actual bugler & 21 gun salute. Their patience, understanding, & kindness were genuine & heartfelt. Consistently they exceeded my expectations during this difficult time in ways I never anticipated. I continue to be impressed with their level of concern & support that is ongoing long after the funeral is over. I will be forever grateful to Devin & the rest of the staff who made my husband's funeral service a beautiful & positive memory in the midst of such sadness. I sincerely appreciate Borek-Jennings & their comittment & caring ways in working with grieving families. Sincerely, Carol

My sister and I want to thank Tom Borek and all their staff for making our Mother’s passing and funeral a memorable and spiritual experience. Their kindness and guidance was much appreciated. They will never be forgotten and hold a special place in our hearts.

Maricel Roberts

Todd and his staff went above the call of duty to support our family with our loss. They made sure they handled all of the logistical details and never once did we hear something couldn't be addresed or accomodated. This allowed us to focus on our healing and being with our family and friends during this difficult time.

Edward Bonderenka

Bravo to the handling of my friend Jim's funeral. I have never attended one as well handled as this. The message to us pallbearers was something I had never heard before as a pallbearer a few times. Awesome.

Frances Hutchinson

What a place. Todd is amazing at what he does. He made everything perfect for my momma. He made everything easy for me and my family. Staff was also so friendly and helpful. Thank you Borek Jennings for helping me and my family through a difficult time.

I normally don't write bad reviews, but my experience was so awful that I felt it needed to be shared, especially because Borek Jennings has such a good overall rating on Google. Sorry that it's a bit long. We had fully intended to work with Borek Jennings because we had heard great things from multiple people in the area. Unfortunately, our experience was really bad, which is the reason we ended up going with Lynch & Sons in Brighton (separate review posted) When I first spoke with Anna on the telephone, I shared my dad's condition and our hopes for his funeral and burial. Because he was going to be buried in another state, I wanted to make sure the funeral home we worked with could help with airline arrangements. I didn't have great confidence about them after the initial phone call, but because my mother had gone to multiple funerals there, we tentatively planned to work with them. As it became increasing clear that my dad would pass soon, my mom and I went to their facility to finalize the planning. Anna brought us to a board room and started asking a bunch of questions about my dad's work experience and education. After 20 minutes of filling out a bunch of paperwork (which felt unrelated to funeral planning), we went on a tour of the facility. I wasn't impressed with either room, primarily because they felt very dated. Check out the bathrooms if there is any question about the last time they updated the facility. When we went back to the board room to discuss the pricing and caskets, what she presented was much higher than what we had discussed on the phone. By this point, I already wanted to talk to another funeral home, but figured I'd get finalized pricing just in case this was the best option. Their booklets didn't have the price of the caskets, so when I asked for something to take home, she reluctantly got me a price list. She kept talking about getting the contract put together, which felt like a bad sales closing technique. A couple days later, my dad passed. We called the other funeral home, and started the grieving process. I then received a call from Anna asking if we planned to use their services. I said we decided to go with someone else, and then she asked me to drop off the price guide at their office. Though she didn't realize my father passed, I was shocked by the lack of professionalism of this request, especially knowing how close to death my father was.I let her know that my dad passed that morning and I would not be dropping off anything, then hung up. I truly thought we'd go with them, but cannot emphasize enough how terrible the experience was. My recommendation is to talk to a few other funeral homes before going with them, you'll be glad you did.

Brittany Mackenzie

My husband and I each lost our fathers in the last two years and working with Borek Jennings made the very difficult time less stressful for our family. The staff is so compassionate and professional. They asked a lot of questions to be sure that they understood our needs and the best way to honor the memory of our loved ones. Every detail was handled and no matter how many times I called with additional questions/requests they always answered gracefully.

Thomas Anderson

Todd helped my family say goodbye to both of my parents. I can't say enough good about them. Some minor slip-ups, but these are to be expected. I would recommend them without hesitation.
