After the pronouncing of her death I had to call the funeral home to pick her up. I was told they were busy, and they came in a timely manner. Even it's a loved one, a dead body in the bedroom is damned creepy. We were able to make arrangements the next day. I like how during the visitation they're so available and on top of things. Turns out we shared the day with a much younger man who was very popular and had almost 200 guests. We were in the smaller room across the way, yet as people came in they were drawn to our side to sign in. This basically led to me directing traffic, rather than visiting with our guests. So right away the director moved our sign in to inside our room, problem solved. They are very good at helping you keep costs down. At stressful times like this you want friendly, co-operative people at your service.

I later learned the funeral home was supposed to persuade me from having my husband cremated which I did have done at another funeral home but he ( the director ) for some odd reason felt the need to remain in close contact with her throughout the entire ordeal.

From the moment we walked in, in shock with immediate grief, to following the burial, they walked us through every aspect of the process. We were able to create a beautiful memorial in remembrance of our beloved mother that was true to her uniqueness and according to her wishes. Special thanks to David, Jane, Vera, Stephanie, Elida, Michael, Kirk, and I know there are several others I'm forgetting. All the attendants were professional and proactive. It was also the only space we visited (of five or six) that was large enough to hold a sanctuary-like service, given we were not using a church building for our service. The "fellowship" area on the lower level let in a lot of light and was perfect for a luncheon after the service. Their short-list recommendations for caterer and florist were both excellent.

During Labor Day weekend this year, I had the incredibly heartbreaking experience of taking my…read morefather off of life support. Soon after, I spoke with my family about next steps, and my brother found Huber Funeral Homes. Of all the places he called, Chad, the program director there, picked up immediately. He said he could meet with us the morning of Labor day (the next day) to review booking a date, pricing, and answer any questions. We had the meeting around 10 am, and he professionally arrived early in a suit. He gave us the information, and we felt comfortable enough to go with him. He also gave us a folder with all the information not only about the funeral, but also about what to do after one loses someone. I appreciated that. The day before the funeral, Huber Funeral Homes coordinated with the hospital (where my father passed), embalmed him, and transported him to their location. We had to think of so much that day; I'm glad they took care of everything. The day and a half I had to organize the funeral, I worked with Chat to have a program printed, and he gave me so much flexibility in getting those materials to him. When I arrived, they already had my father, flowers, and everything else setup. They accommodated us and our request, for a Buddhist funeral, too. After the ceremony and reception, they coordinated a funeral procession to Lakewood Cemetery where they cremated my father. They hired law enforcement to literally stop traffic, for us, as we traveled from Eden Prairie to Minneapolis. I hate the fact I'm writing a review about a Funeral Home, but Huber is a business, with locals working there, too. And they did such a good job that when an awful event like the loss of a loved-one occurs, trust Huber Funeral Homes to help make the worst time in your life a little bit easier.

Since this is the East side there is a special area for Orthodox Christians and we all visit once a year for the day of the dead, first Sunday after Easter. There are many Hmong families here, and their headstones are unusual as they are all black and the print is white. There is a handy company across the street that does the headstones. And yes, it's pretty weird to see your name on one. But I'm glad it won't be a burden to our sons. It's not a huge cemetery, so you can't get too lost. Nothing like thinking of death on my birthday.

It's private, it overlooks Fort Snelling, and it's just a really peaceful, quiet place to be. I was recently at an interment here, and everything went smoothly, even in the snow. They were playing a song on the bells and it was a really beautiful event. Whether or not you have a reason to come here, just take a walk around it sometime.
