Losing a loved one is hard, and Axelsons funeral home made it alot easier to handle. Brianne was kind, thoughtful, and made alot of great suggestions on what to do with the day of my dads burial. She always stayed in contact with me, and made me feel like I was doing the right things for my dad. It was a beautiful military service, and my siblings and I really appreciated her through this sad time. Thanks Brianne for all the hard work, and making our dads day so special. read more

At Axelson funeral & Cremation they really know how to put the FUN in Funeral. They offer such amazing services and have the ability to offer a fantastic service to fit every budget. They're super emotionally supportive and genuinely care about the person/people who have passed on as well as their family and friends. Extremely comforting and always go the extra mile. A dear friend of mine had passed away and his family was struggling financially even before their loved one had passed away and especially seeing as their loved ones wasn't known to have any medical issues prior to their passing the family didn't exactly have the time needed to plan a funeral and when you're already struggling just to keep a roof over you and your children's head and food on the table while now having to grieve and then find a way to make a funeral. WOW just WOW but this funeral parlor was so understanding about everything and offered the family a payment plan even though they didn't exactly have perfect credit. They also helped the family create a GoFundMe account to help not only cover the service but to help the grieving family raise money to help cover their cost of living as well. Everyone I know gave money to help out because we were made aware of the situation which wouldn't have been something any of us would have been aware of had they not helped the family by creating that GoFundMe account and then posting the link to the obituary and the funeral home Facebook page, they even helped the family emotionally by pointing them in the right direction towards therapy because they understood that emotionally the family would benefit from it. They made sure that the service really reflected the person who died by playing their favorite song and requesting that everyone attending wear something that reminds them of their late loved one and the family and friends were also given the chance to view the one who passed on which wouldn't have been possible had the service been held somewhere else because our loved one was in a brutal and I mean brutal shape and needed way more than just make-up but essentially needed their entire face rebuilt from the neck up but they we're able to fix him up in such a way that you'd never know what happened. Just looked like they're sleeping is all and anyone with a pet that loved our deceased loved was allowed to bring them to the service so the animals could express their grief and pay their respects as well. A great Dane attended, two German shepherds and a cat named Toby we're all there to say goodbye...yes their humans dressed them for the occasion which definitely helped distract us from our pain and suffering because let's face it dogs wearing ball gowns and tuxedos is hilarious and a chunky cat wear khaki pants with a matching vest and a bolo tie is just beyond words funny. Every woman who went to the funeral was praying their mascara didn't run while all the men who attended we're hoping to be supportive of everyone around them while they're passing the tissues but instead of anyone crying....we we're all laughing. Again big dogs and a chunky cat all wearing fancy clothes and everyone going around the room to share a funny moment with everyone in the room clearly wasn't going to be a sob fest anyway but this funeral parlor made sure they allowed for everything the family wanted for their late loved ones final send off. I've never seen such an amazing funeral in my life. read more

Tonight, this Funeral home hosted the celebration of a younger family member's life. All but one of the people from the funeral home working the funeral were snarky, rude, and just awful. You would think that when being welcomed into a funeral, the place of grieving a loved one, that you would be welcomed with compassion and warmness. Not only were the greeters rude, but they spoke down to us as if we were dumb. And the lady that spoke the most out of the workers told us to get up out of our seats so she could move them right as the speaking had ended. The whole experience my family had with this place was much like a used car dealership. So unimpressed and disgusted. read more

Please do not trust this funeral home with your beloved family members. We lost our dear grand daughter almost 3 months ago and unfortunately chose this funeral home for her cremation. They were originally kind however quickly became rude and hostile, even threatening to call the police on a family member who called to ask a question. Our grand child died the morning her family was moving thousands of miles away to another state so on top of losing their baby, they also had to leave her body behind at a morgue and take all of their belongings to their new home. The funeral home was contacted once they got to their new home and picked up our grand child's body. My daughter and son in law were late getting to the viewing unfortunately because it took them longer than expected to travel the 3000 miles back due to car trouble and stormy weather. When they did arrive, they were told they needed to pay a 500 dollar fee to see their own child. When a family member called to beg to please allow our daughter to see her baby the front desk receptionist Ashley threatened to call the police. They were going to call the police on a grieving grandmother and charge a mother 500 dollars to see her own baby. Please, if you are ever in this sad situation of having to find a funeral home for a baby or child or any family member, take the time to ask more questions regarding the treatment you and your dearly deceased family member will receive. We are unable to have a funeral and any closure because of this horrible funeral home. read more
