Testimonials

Jesse was amazing and did everything he could for our family. He was great! He made sure I was ok before the service and after. They arrange everything! Everyone that we dealt with there were very nice and very sympathetic to our needs. They make all the arrangements and even take care of the food after the service. We chose everything initially and they took care of everything, . I can't say enough about them. They made everything so easy! We had decided not to have a video done but Kevin's sister, couldn't be at the funeral because of her health and they went last minute and got the video things to do it for us. We had to make several changes after the initial decisions and they took care of everything so that it was easy on our family. If ever we need these services again we will definitely choose Starkson's! They make sure all your needs are taken care of. Thanks for all you did for our family. You are all great!!!!

We so appreciate Jesse getting his video equipment and taping our brother’s funeral service when my sister could not attend in person at the last minute due to health issues. Jesse, you generously and cheerfully went above and beyond to include our entire family in this celebration of life and we are truly grateful for your caring compassion.

Jesse treated me with the care he would shower on his own mother before and during my husband Steve's funeral last week. Everyone was wonderful. I can't say enough about the care we received. It truely felt like family taking care of us from start to finish. I am so happy at how eveything went, and so grateful to everyone at Starkson. Rebecca Susag

Jesse and Katie: Thank you so much for all your compassion and special services for my brother, Fr Leonard Siebenaler. Your work coordinating with the Archdiocese to make the funeral mass a wonderful experience was greatly appreciated. Your attention to all the details before, during and after the funeral was especially appreciated. Ray Siebenaler February 8, 2023

We met Mike from Starksons on the day that my mother passed. We actually had the appointment scheduled in advance. Mike went through all of the things we needed to do for my beautiful mothers funeral. He explained all different options from the casket, vault, thank you cards, scheduling and the grave site service that was 120 miles away. We decided to have these folks help us because they were so compassionate, very comforting, knowledgeable and very professional with their advice. When we left the funeral home, we were confident we were in good hands. Thankfully, we were right. I would recommend Starksons for anyone that needs to have their service provided professionally and most important, compassionately. Thank you very much for taking such great care or my mothers funeral service. We are all forever grateful.

Starkson, we cannot thank you enough for your compassionate, respectful and flexible services. Within less than four months, we suffered the loss of two loved ones. Working with Michael Wise was a great experience, he showed so much grace to our families during the toughest times. He went above and beyond to make sure all aspects of the service planning were thorough, his gentle and professional manner ensured all tasks were handled with care. The chapel is beautiful, it somehow brings a sense of peace. Thank you for your patience and guidance that helped us lay our loved ones to rest.

I walked into Starkson's conference room just two weeks ago with a daunting task ahead of me. I can't tell you how your kind demeanor and confidence with what needed to be done calmed my sad and weary soul. Everything worked out better then I ever dreamed and so many people commented on your beautiful space and kind presence.

Thank you for treating all of us like family, it just made a tough thing easier for us to get through. God Bless You.

I would recommend them to anyone that needs to plan a funeral. Mike Wise was wonderful to work with. We transported Mom from WA. to MN. They planned it perfectly, all went as planned.
