Testimonials

We are grateful to all who have taken the time to write to us with these kind words of thanks and praise. We are more than pleased to know our efforts to honor and celebrate your loved one’s funeral has been a comfort to you.

It might seem strange that I’m doing this now, but my husband and I have been to several wakes lately, and it always makes me think of how amazing you were, and beautiful a job you did for my family. I miss my brother every day, and it’s so important to carry with me how caring your staff was, and how above and beyond you went to make that day such a special celebration of his life. I will cherish your kindness forever in my heart, and I tell everyone how grateful I am to your staff.

Thank you again for all that you and your staff did for us yesterday. You all went over and above for us to personalize the service with the cookies, quilts, sewing area and the Whoopie pies! Everyone commented on how well you all did! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Our family would like to thank the Badger Funeral Home for such a professional and caring job on the Celebration of Life ceremony for Edward K. We were making arrangements from out of state and they went above and beyond in making things happen as we wanted and making it easy for us. It was a beautiful ceremony.

What a Beautiful day. Thank you Adam. You made a very heartbreaking experience more bearable. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to remember T. The barber display and prayer cards were such a creative way to honor him. My mother-in-law keeps saying it was the most beautiful viewing and service she’s ever been to. We thank you all for your kindness and compassion.

My family and I would like to thank Glenn and all the staff for the outstanding care, and compassion you provided my father in-law and our family during a very difficult time. There was not one detail missed, and so many thoughtful details and extras you added that made the service so personal and memorable for all of us. Having experienced firsthand the amazing service, personal touches, and compassion we received from everyone, I am thankful my father made the right choice in entrusting his loyal families and pre-arrangements with the Marchand Funeral Home to the Badger Funeral Home when they merged. We are forever grateful to all of you at Badger Funeral Home! Thank you so very much!

Dear Glenn and Crew,
I have been meaning to write you a “quick” thank you note for months! The care, knowledge, compassion, and thoughtfulness you ALL showed to all of us, but mostly to my parents was amazing. Even this placard that you placed on my parents gravesite was just such a comfort! When I think back on the last ten months, I find myself reflecting on how nice and so dignified both of may parents’ wakes and funerals were—ALL the big things, but more so ALL the little things. I loved our idea of having a magic drawer at my father’s wake, and I know he would have loved that too. I will never forget how you went to Emerson Hospital to talk to my father. Nor will I forget what good care you took of my father and “his Penny,” and for your understanding of how important it was to me. Also, I’ll never forget when you came to Rivercrest to get my mother. I never even really thought twice about leaving her care up to you, I just knew she was in excellent care! Thank you for all you and your staff did, from the bottom of my heart. I can honestly say, I would have never made it through TWO of the worst days of my life without all of you guiding us!
Fondly, S.H. and family

To Badger Funeral Home,
We attended the Funeral Home Service for Evelyn S., a close family friend, in January 2109. An amazing celebration of life, it was incredibly uplifting. Evelyn and the highlights of her life were everywhere in the room, giving anyone who visited the opportunity to delight in her life lived, not her death. May more funeral homes adopt the type of services you offer/provide. Thank You

Hello Badger Team,
I wanted to take some time with such a tragic loss of my 29 year old daughter to tell you about the experience I had at Badger Funeral home. WOW! I have never in all my years experienced such professional care, guidance, love and pure from the heart the best experience I could ask for; for my daughter J. (despite it being our worst time ever!) Adam and his team could not have done a better job. I wanted the best for my daughter and I got pure perfection! From how the room was set up, how all her items were displayed to the printed material to all the guidance with the financial portion. Adam was kind, gentle, a pure perfectionist when it came to the care of my daughter, and her service and wake were exactly what we wanted; a celebration all about J. His team is A++ and I just love them for the job they did. From the slide show to the video to all our request with songs and I heard so many compliments I cannot even begin to thank you. I wanted it perfect for J., my daughter, and her sister N. and it was a perfect night all about J. As difficult as these last 8 days have been and will continue to be N. and I wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The loss of a child is beyond the worst pain anyone can imagine and for Adam and his team to show how much they indeed LOVE doing what they do- again thank you!!!

Dear Glenn,
I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done for me and the beautiful graveside service you orchestrated for my father. I appreciate every little detail you had a hand in and for making the service so special and meaningful. The fact that you and Beth drove down to Philly to personally oversee everything still just blows me away. Your kindness, compassion and generosity are so appreciated!
Warmest Regards,

Dear Glenn,
Thanks again for all of your help and service in arranging our father’s wake and final care back in April. From the photo slide show, to flower transfers to St. Paul’s, right down to the last details. We knew he was in good hands. Please extend our gratitude to Ellen and Glen for their parts. We will gladly and eagerly recommend Badger to our friends and neighbors.
Best,
S., M., J. & A.

Glenn,
You are the best of the best! If there is any training course as to how to be a 5-Star funeral director, you would be the model which the curriculum would be created in order to raise up many more who exemplify EXCELLENCE.

Glenn,
Words cannot express my gratitude to you and your team for the fantastic job you did with my Mom’s (and Grandmother’s) services. All of the personal touches and care that you put in to every detail turned what could be a very sad memory into a celebration of Life. On behalf of my entire family, you have our heartfelt thanks and appreciation. I am truly honored to call you a brother and a friend.
Sincerely, D.G.

To Glenn and everybody at Badger-
My family’s experience with Badger was unwaveringly positive. Though the circumstances were terrible, our pain was made easier to bear by a beautiful, respectful, and celebratory service. Everyone on staff is so professional yet caring and empathetic. The detail, care, and work put into my Papa’s services were outstanding. Everyone I spoke to said with genuine surprise, “I’ve never seen a service like this before. It’s beautiful.” The video slide show, the blown up pictures, even down to the gardening trowel as decoration. Our family did not ask for this, it was simply just done. You truly listen to the families you speak with and it shows in your work. My Papa could be particular about details, and he would have found no flaw in the job you did with his services. He knew the value of a job well done, and would want to commend you on your hard work. So, I am doing so now. Our family could not believe the amount of care and attention put into making this not just an event of great sorrow, but the celebration of an incredible life. Thank you so much. I will remember our experience with you forever.

Dear Glen and Staff,
I’m sorry it took so long to write this note due to Mom’s medical emergencies, but we do want to thank you for your kindness while planning and conducting Dad’s wake and funeral. The military service graveside was very moving. Imagine our surprise when Mom received notification that a tree seedling had been planted as a memorial to Peter. You might be interested to know that I once worked for the U.S. Forest Service in Utah and Idaho. Dad enjoyed writing poetry and one poem was about the sequoia, a quiet witness to history and the human condition. So, although we won’t know what species of tree was planted in Dad’s name, we’ll imagine it as a sequoia that will grow for years and years, witness to many future generations.
With Warm Thanks, L, J and family

Glenn,
Thank you for the beautiful celebration of my Mom’s life. Taking the time to listen to my Dad’s request for my Mom’s hair to be “Just So.” The beautiful enlarged pictures, video and the apple pie table. We felt cared for when we needed it the most. I hope in some way that my Mom’s celebration gave you a chance to grieve for your Mom. The missing her and sadness does just come in waves. Thank you again, it was a beautiful tribute to my Mom.
Sincerely, L. S.

Words cannot express my sincere gratitude for all that you did for our family during the loss of my grandmother. The “Life Celebration” was like no other funeral I have ever been to. We all felt Grandma Ester was honored and celebrated with the dignity and respect she deserved. She did so much for us; thank you for helping us say goodbye and thank you her one last time. Your professionalism and dedication was above and beyond our expectations.
