It is important to understand that the value of the funeral service is for the surviving family and friends. It gives those who have lost someone close to them a chance to come together and celebrate the person's life while sharing their own grief. It is important to allow the service to reflect the true personality of the deceased and we encourage you to include music, photographs or other special mementos.
It's important to understand the value in the Funeral Memorial Service is the chance to come together as surviving family and friends and celebrate the person's life while sharing your own grief. Cremations shouldn't be treated any differently.

The loss of a loved one can be not only stressful but is often an unexpected expense that most families are unprepared to deal with; we are more than pleased to custom tailor any of our services to fit you and your family's needs.
As pet owners, we understand what it is like to lose a pet. Our pets are members of our family and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Here at the Waltner-Simchak Funeral Home, we treat your pet like a member of our family. A pet is often more than a companion; it is thought of as part of the family.

Our cat got very sick and passed suddenly, and they were very pleasant to work with. Not pushy, not insistent. Allowed us to make a decision on our own time, and offered genuine comfort. I left feeling more at peace with the loss.

Family has always used this funeral home. The director told me theyve been in the same building for 100 years (they must know what they're doing) and a truly beautiful building inside and out. They didn't have ANY hidden charges, the price they quote is the price you get. Truly unbelievable prices too. Another review said they were the lowest in town, and they are. Best service in my opinion too. Staff is so helpful. Gave us a beautiful urn for free...no cardboard box. They have lots of ways to keep cost down. I can't express enough my gratitude for this funeral home. Going anywhere else is crazy

Ron is very kind, compassionate and sincere. This is a comforting and wonderful place to leave your loved one in great hands. When my Father passed away, I was shocked and afraid I didn't know what to do,… when I met with Ron I knew that was the place for my Dad. Ron gave my Family a sense of piece. And he gave my Father ALL of the dignity and respect that he would have shown to his own Family. I am grateful to have found this Funeral home and I would refer anyone in my place to do the same over and over again.

They took care of my mom with compassion and dignity. They were respectful of our feelings. They weren't shoving their services in our face. They asked us what do we want and offered exactly what we needed. Very helpful and services was fast. No hidden charges.
