  I have now had to make funeral arrangements for my dear aunt and most recently my dad. Haben was recommended in my aunt's instance, and from that was a no-brainer for my dad. Haben's entire team including Mr. John Haben himself handle everything the way you would want things handled for your deceased. They blend "old school" customer service with compassion, professionalism and technology where it makes sense. Plus they're a local business. I highly recommend with confidence that you'll be as pleased as I've been.

  When a loved one passes away, you’re left so vulnerable and it takes an honest establishment not to take advantage of that vulnerability. Haben funeral home has handled the funeral services of three of my family’s loved ones, the last being my father. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to handle the final arrangements for a loved one but those at Haben funeral home. Sensitive, kind, gracious and most of all comforting are the adjectives I’d use to describe the service I received at Haben to assist in the final arrangements for my father. They’ve been there for the most profound losses of my life, I’d never trust anyone else but them. Thank you John, Will, Chad and anyone else I might have forgotten. You made a difficult moment a little easier. I’d recommend Haben to anyone.

  Our family greatly appreciated the professionalism as well as the sensitivity provided to us by John Haben. This was the second time that Haben Funeral Home has helped us with funeral preparations and the services for both our Mom and our Dad were beautiful. We were grateful for the ability to share special slideshows that our family created with the guests that attended our Mom’s and our Dad’s visitations and funeral services. We are grateful for John’s compassion and comforting nature at this difficult time.

  I lost my dog a week ago, and I cannot thank Haben Funeral Home enough for helping me through this nightmare process. From start to finish, I was given all my options, treated with the utmost respect, and was extremely supported throughout every step of the way. I am so grateful that the Haben family took wonderful care of my boy; I knew he was in the best hands, and I am extremely grateful. This family truly cares, and I cannot recommend them enough.

  Haben Funeral Home has taken care of my loved ones for more than 40 years. Most recently, they have taken care of cremating my daughter’s dog and unfortunately my dog three days later. They handled both our dogs with the ultimate care, kept my daughter and I up to date on the process, and were extremely compassionate from start to finish. I am confident and recommend wholeheartedly Haben Funeral Home when thinking about end of life decisions when coming to your furry loved ones. The dignity and class you will receive will help you through a difficult time, and you will feel better knowing your best friend is in great hands.
  
  Thank you,
  Shawn Finnicum
