Verheyden Funeral Home

“Not many people shop around for funeral homes, at least we didn't. One of the reasons I originally chose Verheyden Funeral home was proximity and I had been there prior for a previous funeral years past. That being said, it turned out to be a wonderful choice. Allison was very kind in helping us plan a simple memorial service for our father. We didn't feel pushed into doing anything extra, she asked us questions about our father, offered options and explained the process. One of the other things we felt was nice, is they only have one service/viewing at a time so anyone arriving is there for you and your loved one. There is a small kitchen area for you to bring food and beverages as well as a small sitting room which works out well if you need a break or have young ones. Everything went well the day of the memorial. The other staff members were all very helpful and kind. They greeted family and friends upon arrival and were very helpful when we were setting up photo displays. Since the funeral they have reached out just to follow up and see how the family is doing and if there was anything else they can help with. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a family oriented place to assist you in any memorial or funeral arrangements. It's hard enough to plan things while you are grieving but for us at least they made the process less stressful.”

“My wife passed sooner than expected and I had not preplanned the funeral. The hospice nurse contacted the Clinton Township Chapel for me. Everything flowed smoothly after that. I met with Allyson and found her to be knowledgeable, sympathetic and helpful. Every question I had was answered, every request I made was met. Allyson and the others at Verheyden were professional in their handling of the funeral arrangements. I would suggest others, if possible, try to do preplanning before that terrible day arrives. Even though you know it is coming, that does not make it easier when that day arrives. Commit the details to paper, have an obituary photo available, at least roughly outline the obituary, have a list of people to be informed including their phone numbers. In other words do anything you can in advance to make it go a little smoother.”

“The staff at Verheyden were truly wonderful—helpful, kind, and patient throughout the entire process. We held a very large memorial, and they navigated the crowd with grace, professionalism, and calm, never appearing stressed or overwhelmed. My husband’s memorial service was beautiful, and I am deeply grateful to Verheyden Funeral Home in Clinton Township for the care and support they provided during such a difficult time.”
