I used Titzer Funeral home fur their pet Bereavement and cremation service. Twice. God bless my pups Rocco and Hans Gunther! The woman I spoke to both times was very caring and explained everything. She asked a lot about my furbabies and we talked for awhile. It can be just as hard losing a pet because they too are part of the family. Then before I left she praise with me over my loved ones. They take enough time so you are ready to hand over your loved one knowing they are in The best and most capable hands. I will always use Titzer pet bereavement services.

I can't thank Todd and his team at Titzer Funeral Homes enough for the compassionate care they provided during one of the most difficult times in my life. From the moment we arrived, their team treated us like family, showing genuine empathy and respect every step of the way. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dads service was a beautiful tribute to his life. I never felt pressured or rushed; it was clear that their priority was to support us, not just to finalize a sale. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Titzer Funeral Homes to anyone in need of their services that feels lost in the burden of grief for a loved one. Thank you for everything you did for us!

Pierre Funeral Home treated us like family. Everyone were very helpful and attentive and helped us with a process that could have been overwhelming. Thank you so much for accommodating us to make our goodbyes easier.

Google Reviewer

My mother-in-law had made arrangements with Pierre long before her move to Florida, and we had to plan the whole service and burial from afar, with no one on the ground save Jim and his team. The ceremony went flawlessly and was so lovely. We were even down a car, having flown in, and Jim stepped right in to help, and his very kind son helped drive our crew back and forth to the cemetery. I will repeat what others said - there was no pressuring, no hard decisions - it was so very easy. Thank you!

Google Reviewer

Jim Pierre and everyone I encountered at Pierre Funeral Home were absolutely wonderful. I was planning a funeral from out of state as my mother's wishes were to be transferred from where she passed in Florida back to where her parents were buried in Evansville. Jim maintained constant contact with me and handled things that I would consider above and beyond his job title. He was compassionate and empathetic and made what was an awful event into something that came together as seamlessly as possible. He is definitely in the right field and I would recommend him to anyone in the area who needs his services.

Browning Funeral Home has served our family for more than 20 years. Their service has not changed at all during that time. Their services are second to none in the Evansville community. Jeannie, Brian, Matthew and the rest of their staff takes great pride in their work. They treat all families with grace, courtesy, love and compassion. Whether they are handling all the details, or simply honoring your families wishes, they will address all those items with ease. Funerals are not easy for a number of reasons, but Browning Funeral Home relieves all the stress of planning the service. They should be the only family you trust.

Google Reviewer

Simple cremations was a great place to work with after my husbands mom passed. No one wants to face this, honestly, but they made the experience a little more tolerable by being compassionate, caring, and offering comfort during a hard time. Alec did a wonderful job in helping navigate this experience. He reassured me that my husbands mom was in safe hands, was very kind and compassionate, I believe he truly loves what he does there. Its extremely hard when losing a loved one and it matters who takes care of them at the end. I would recommend Alec to anyone taking this route of afterlife care, he cares about you and your loved ones and wants to help in any way he possibly can during such difficult times.
