The Rainbow hospice chaplain told us about this place. My father wanted a simple cremation. When my father passed away March 10, they came at the home (Glenview Terrace) immediately to collect him. Russ (I believe that was his name) was an amazing individual. He took care of my dad exceptionally well from his room and unto their service car. He did this all by himself. He was a very compassion and kind person. We had to provide an urn since they do not carry one. A week later, Russ gave us a call for us to pick up dad. If you need an affordable priced cremation, this is the place to go. You just need to talk to them and explain your situation.

I have attended funerals and memorial services at this location, and have also held two funerals here in the last three years for my grandparents. The staff is all so genuine and caring, and they have sincerely cared for my family (both the living as well as those being remembered) that whenever I return (which luckily isn't frequent), I feel like I'm back somewhere I am very comfortable. They have two rooms in which to hold the services, as well as a kitchen area with a sink and 4-6 tables and chairs where you can have refreshments. Upstairs is their coffin selection (I had no idea these existed!) which is quite extensive and they have coffins in most every style, material, and price range. While funerals are by no means cheap, I don't feel like I'm getting taken when working with Friedrich's. They explain all the costs, offer all the options, and work with what is best for your family. Also, on the way to the burial, they do a fantastic job of directing cars and traffic to make sure everyone gets there safely. Thank you, Friedrich's, for making the passing of a loved one an easier transition.

Their rooms are beautiful, rather large, and smell lovely. They have rooms off to the side for privacy with comfortable chairs and sofas in them. Their funeral services offered went flawlessly and they have a basement where you can put food for your guests attending your wake. They section it off if they have several wakes that day/night and label it so each group knows what food to take. They have a very large parking lot and are very reasonably priced. Especially when young kids are mourning the loss of a loved one this is a nice place with people who work there who do not seem to have their nose up in the air or to be curt with children.

Every detail, every question, every answer, every suggestion - smooth and helpful.

My husband started the research for funeral and cremation companies. Despite all the people he called and the quotes he received, Simplicity's responsiveness, thoroughness, and fair pricing beat them all out. I also liked how their website was clear and full of information. And I appreciated how quick Connie was in responding to our questions. She made herself available one morning so we could meet in person to discuss the service's details. I was impressed by her experience and attention to detail during that appointment. I wanted to feel like everything would be professionally taken care of on the hardest day of my life. Connie made me feel confident about that. She even offered signage for people not to take photos, touch my mom during the wake, and ensure that people wore masks (which was very important to me). I left feeling understood and supported. Connie made herself available for any questions or concerns leading up to the wake, which was greatly appreciated. On the day of the wake service, Connie and David were prompt at the church. They took care of the setup and helped guide us with our personal details for the service. Everything that we had chosen during that earlier appointment came precisely as discussed. This company knows what they're doing. In the middle of my intense grief, I felt comforted knowing I could hand such an important event over to them. They allowed us (the immediate family) plenty of time to say our goodbyes after the service. We never felt rushed. We placed our last goodbye letters in with my mom, roses, and anything else that mattered to us. It was the hardest goodbye, but I'm thankful that they never rushed it and respected our experience. Several days after the service, the ashes were ready. I didn't have the emotional strength to pick them up myself, but my dear husband made the short drive to get them for us. Their setup and the respect they showed my mom's ashes when my husband arrived were so thoughtful. Connie and David went above and beyond for our grieving family. They did some extra things for us that blew us away and just brought light into our very dark season. Connie, David, Simplicity family, thank you for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and respect during this time. We hold the canvas and all the details close to our hearts. My beautiful mom deserved the very best, and I'm glad she got that with the help of your company.

We were referred to them through Mount Emblem cemetery on Grand Ave. We were dealing with all sorts of difficult decisions with my dad while he was in hospice and needed someone great that would help us with what we needed. This was definitely the place. I called and talked to Cheryl before my father passed to ask questions and see what we could do with the limited info we had at that time. See, my father was in the military, and even though we thought we had all of the right paperwork, we didn't. My father was, shall we say, less than organized. She directed us where to look on the website to get better ideas of what was offered, and answered my questions the best she could with the limited info I had. After my father passed, my brother contacted Cheryl to take care of the arrangements. When we went to make them, Cheryl was great. Easy to talk to, and remembered when I called her the previous week, even though I'm sure I didn't leave my name. All three of us bonded immediately. Cheryl went above and beyond to make my father's service great. From dealing with the military and the paperwork, and getting everything lined up in a timely fashion, beginning to end, the whole staff there was pleasant and accommodating. If you find yourself in the difficult position of planning this type of event, I HIGHLY recommend this Funeral Home. Unfortunately I have had way too many experiences at other places, and Pedersen Ryberg was by far the best. Thank you again, Cheryl and staff, for putting together a memorable service for my Dad.
