“Mark and Pat were absolutely wonderful. Not many people have what it takes to be so comforting at such a difficult time, but these guys have a special light about them. The Quintanilla family is incredibly grateful and we could not have asked for better arrangements. Thank you!”

Mark and his team are amazing. I've known Mark and his family for over 40 years, as I grew up in Delavan. Monroe funeral home handled both my Mother and Brother's funerals and now my Father's. Wonderful family, who have remained compassionate, considerate, professional, and supportive through everything, right down to the very last detail. Beautifully done. Thank you to everyone who assisted in Dads service.

“My brother passed away out of state. We had no idea where to start for his arrangements. We turned to Pat Tauscher at Monroe Funeral Home. Pat handled everything, answering questions we didn't even know to ask. Pat arranged an out of state cremation, delivery home of my brother's cremains, and took care of every detail that needed attention. Professional, thorough, and compassionate. Thank you Pat and Staff. You have our thanks and highest recommendations.”

“My brother Michael recently passed away and as he was relatively young and a single father with two boys 12 and 15, I can't thank Pat and his team enough for all they did for us. Cards were forwarded after our service and Pat stayed in touch and made sure they got to us. My mom travelled from Arkansas to be here and even though my brothers wishes were to be cremated they arranged for my mom to see him before it took place once she got here and to kiss his sweet face one last time. The thank yous for that alone can't be expressed in mere words. On behalf of the entire Helm family thank you for making a horrible time bareable and for just being amazing.”
