    I am so sorry Ben! You were a wonderful person. I hope you and Derek can tear it up and have fun in Heaven! I can't believe another wonderful soul went way to early before his time. Love you kid for just being you!!! Derek's mom💛

    It had been many, many years since I had seen Ben; the last time being when he was a little boy. I'm glad our paths crossed and I'm able to say I once knew him. I was happy when he added me in Facebook all the years ago. My heart goes out to everyone who loved him. Prayers for comfort.

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
