Report
I was so impressed with the care and concern in every detail of Stephanie and Staff preparing for the funeral arrangements for my husband and son from a distance. EVERY detail was to the "T" and I felt like bringing them both back to their home town for burial was the best decision I ever made. GREAT JOB.

This place went above and beyond for the services following my father's passing. The loss of your dad is hard enough but Stephanie took the time to come in on a Saturday evening to meet with my brother, sister and I. She helped walk us through making the obituary, guiding us with readings and songs for the funeral, contacting the priest and helping us with flowers and picture boards too. She is very caring and kind hearted and would HIGHLY recommend Gilbertson's to everyone!

After my father passed away, Stephanie and Lynn helped out tremendously. They were kind, considerate and comforted me in that painful time. I had never had to put together a funeral before and Stephanie helped me every step of the way from the viewing, flowers, urn, food, and obituary. I am so thankful for the Gilbertson Funeral home and all of their help with everything. That was one of the most painful times in my life and they took away a lot of stress at that time. Thank you guys.
