I had to plan my father’s burial from out of town. Brian was extremely helpful, answering calls and emails during and after hours. This was a first time experience for me, because of him and his staff things went better than my family could have ever imagined. The driver to the cemetery was also very friendly, and courteous. I highly recommend Kniffen O’Malley Leffler Funeral & Cremation Services, I’d rate them 10 🌟’s if it was an option.

Words can't express the gratitude I have towards Brian, Nikki, and the staff. The handling and care taken for my mom was amazing, they handled everything eliminating so much stress during this time of unexpected passing. The attention to detail went beyond my expectations from the pictorial video, her favorite music, and her favorite hobbies. A number of family members have reached out telling me how beautiful the service was. Thank you so much for providing the services to give my mom a final send off for our family and friends.

I would definitely recommend Kniffen O'Malley Funeral Home. Brian and Nicole were extremely helpful in our family's time of need. They handled all the details with ease. Besides having to make a few choices in regard to the service they took care of everything. They made our experience more bearable. I almost forgot...thank you so much Brian for being at my father's beck and call before his passing. I know he was sometimes a pill to deal with lol. Thank you so much!!!

The kindness, compassion, and professionalism extended to my brother and me by Brian and Rynell after both of our parents passed were exceptional. Their services went above and beyond our expectations, providing us with the much needed time to process our loss. The passing of those we love is never easy - the arrangements afterwards can be overwhelming. Fortunately for us, Kniffen O’Malley Leffler Funeral and Cremation Services helped to ease the burden.

AMAZING SERVICE and AMAZING PEOPLE!! On one of the worst days of our lives, my brother, sister and I were truly blessed with finding Brian at Kniffen O'Malley to help us with our mothers passing. Brian was professional, kind, efficient, helpful, and unbelievably timely with EVERYTHING. Once we started talking to Brian, our worries about all that needed to be done melted away. Brian walked us through everything. He made sure all of our questions were answered. He notified social security for us and gave us helpful information about death certificates among many other things. We also choose this

Its really unfortunate when you lose someone but I want to thank Kniffen O'Malley Leffler Funeral & Cremation Services for their professionalism, sensitivity, and empathy when I lost my dad. They made a very tough situation as easy as possible for my family from start to finish. They accommodated our wishes and helped us make an honorable service for my father. Not only did they create a beautiful memorial but they kept us safe with all of the pandemic guidelines and safety measures. Thank you again.
