Exceptional service from Josh during the worst week of my life. He was kind and informative and worked with our family getting a service together in a hurry as we had family that had to fly back home that week. Gwen did a wonderful job with the photo video and the order of service pamphlet ,all of which was last minute on our part. We could not have asked for better service. Thank you!

On July 23, 2022, our brother Raymond was called home it was a very difficult time.

They went above and beyond to make sure our brother and our family were taking care of. Thank you for your support and your kindness. We will forever be grateful to you. Sincerely, Isabel Cordova

On May 6, 2022 we had my mother’s service. What an incredibly hard time that was. Josh was the kindest, most caring person I have ever known. From the moment we first stepped inside his office until the moment the graveside service was done, he acknowledged our grief and cared about each and every one of us! What an amazing way to run a funeral home. We were so incredibly impressed! Thank you for loving our family through this hard process and being so patient with us! May God richly bless you and your family.

The funeral of my wife of 31 years was prepared and done by by the Hausladen's and their wonderful staff. I do not have the words to express my gratitude to them for all they did for me and my family in the process and in the ceremony. Excellent counsel, kind and heartfelt sympathy, efficient and effective accomplishment, beautiful chapel, superb coordination....I don't know where to stop. In my family's time of bereavement they fulfilled my wife's every wish for her services, and did it beautifully and faithfully. They handled the details, and helped me to understand what to expect in the process. I shall never forget the calm and sweet kindness of all their people who took care of us there, and of the Hausladen's themselves.

What an amazing service Josh and the others did for our Mother. Very professional and caring. One of the best funeral homes I have ever had an experience with. There is not a single bad thing to say. Nothing but good. I wish some other funeral homes would take some lessons from them. They did a great video for us. The obituary was perfect. The use of their website is so easy and looks great too. Josh was so very easy to talk to and he also cared about us like we were family.

You can not go wrong with them. I would recommend them to anyone.

What can I say that everyone already knows about Josh. I could not have asked for a more compassionate and caring person than he is. My mothers death was very sudden. Josh took care of everything and kept me in the loop with emails and phone calls. I will forever be grateful to Josh and Elgin funeral home.

Words can not express how much Josh and all the staff at Elgin Funeral Home was during this time of need. They were helpful and so professional. Even at a time when they were renovating and very hard pressed for facilities they went out of their way to make sure that we had what we needed and to provide comfort and caring assistance. Jamie did a wonderful job with the flowers even when she was limited by her suppliers... Thank you so much.

From the first phone call Josh was someone we knew who would take care of our mother and her family. Arranging everything from out of town, and me never having had to arrange a funeral, the staff at Elgin Funeral home was professional, kind and desiring to please. So thankful for all they did and may God bless them with many years caring for families.

Josh, Jamie, Phia, and the whole staff at Elgin Funeral Home were amazing when we lost my father Dale in an accident last year. They respected all our wishes and catered to us at a time we needed them most. In that time of sorrow, they were a shoulder to cry on and definitely made sure my daddy went out in style. Thank you from the bottom of my heart as well as my families for the great service you provided us. I would recommend you guys to anyone.

It’s been almost 6 years since we lost our son, Byron. I’m sorry we haven’t responded sooner but it’s been very difficult for us. We sincerely appreciate the great love and support from the wonderful staff at the Elgin Funeral Home. I was so numb and not able to comprehend everything at the time. We had to fly our son from Texas to Louisiana to be buried. The staff was extremely compassionate towards us and did a superb job in handling everything for us which brought great comfort to us at the worst time of our lives. We sincerely thank you for all you have done for us and our son. We will never forget the genuine love you showed us. You are truly one of a kind! God bless always 💜
