Professional, caring, compassionate. Duzak took care of my father in 2017. I recently lost my mother and left it the care of the wonderful people at Duzak. Mary Ellen sat on the phone with me for a hour and half. We shared stories and I felt so comforted. This was not just a business deal. These people care. I wouldn't trust anybody else for my funeral needs.

We honestly couldnt have been more pleased with Chris services. He went above and beyond the call of duty. Before our loved ones eventual death Chris was able to cremate his amputated leg as well and hold onto the cremains for us. He even lent us a wooden urn to use at the memorial service because the custom ceramic one that we ordered wasnt going to be ready for another month. Once again, thanks Chris for everything that you and your family did for us!

It's crazy that life is always fatal. You can only hope that death be neither prolonged nor painful. That wasn't the case for my aunt who passed from a hit and run. Words cannot express how delicately the Duzak's handled the entire affair. They even went so far as to answer questions for me that I knew were beyond the scope of the job. Both Chris and his mother always made time for me and got me through this difficult and tragic process. I live out of state. Somehow, I feel slighted that it wouldn't make sense to plan my own final arrangements there. They have got to be the most competent and

I contacted Duzak Funeral & Cremation Center upon the sudden death of a loved one. Everyone was so kind and thoughtful during this difficult time. They explained everything, set up everything over the phone and when the time came they took care and patience with the family and they took our loved one away. I highly recommend them.
