Testimonials

Our family's dealings with Tim Thelen were always very professional, warm, and very kind. We were impressed with his care for our concerns and wishes regarding our loved one. We would highly recommend Thelen Funeral Service to anyone.

Thelen took the most amazing care of our family when we lost our dad. They helped us plan his send-off the way he wanted. They are so easy to work with and amazing people for your time in need.

Tim and his staff were extremely helpful and responsive to our wishes for our daughter's final arrangements. We are thankful for Thelen Funeral Services and the help they provided us through a very difficult time.

Our son-in-law's father Dick Davies told us that Thelen was his choice. He told us Thelen is the VERY BEST. We totally agree.

Would definitely come back. Tim has a great sense of humor and made the best of our experience.

Great Service, Tim is great to work with.
I called over 6 months ago to start the arrangements and when time was getting closer. Tim made the process easy along with his daughter who made sure paperwork was started.
It's great to have a team of professionals to guide a person through the process. Tim's wife even had to step in to guide us through some family issues.

I will be using your funeral home when my time comes.

We were very satisfied with your services when my husband Don Cridelich passed. Thank you Tim!

Very happy with Thelen Funeral Services!

I can't imagine anything could have been better. Tim was great and made things as comfortable and relaxed as possible.

I can't explain how wonderful you were to work with throughout this entire experience. Thank you kindly for your help.

My father had already made arrangements with Tim to be cremated and no service. The death certificate had errors and Tim was so patient through the hassle. I can see why my Dad liked you, thank you!

We were very happy with your service and highly recommend you. Thank you.

We were able to have the service, military honors, and luncheon all in one location, which was much appreciated. I also appreciate the daily Grief Support emails.

Thank you for handling the flowers, setup, etc. at the church, very much appreciated. The gentleman we spoke with initially to set everything up was great... showed empathy, had humor, etc. Thank you

The guidance for military honors was very much appreciated. Also, programs available to consider were explained clearly. The kindness and compassion shown to myself and the family was beyond expectations.

My family wanted things friendly, somewhat unconventional and he listened and recognized our needs! It was great!

Funeral director knew when to use humor, and when we. needed seriousness, that was done well

Tim was awesome. He helped us navigate a difficult situation with compassion and professionalism. I would highly recommend Thelen Funeral Services.

Despite the circumstances as to why your considering funeral homes, rest assured that Thelen Funeral Services is the way to go. I cant even begin to say enough good things about Tim when it came to planning our sons funeral. He really took the time to explain to us our options, walked us through literally every single detail, and ensured that the services was exactly how we wanted it. He provided everything we needed before, during, and after the services. We were never pressured to buy, or decided anything quickly. He made this terrible circumstance, bearable for us and I cant thank him enough.

Tim & staff were caring. I picked them because the facility is modern, beautiful and they have an excellent website. Tim also replied promptly to my email inquiry and was very accommodating to our tragic circumstances. The website allowed my sons friends/family to engage from afar and due to Covid. They streamed the memorial. We brought in lighting for that. We didn’t utilize their food capabilities only because of Covid, but Thelan partners with an excellent deli.

Tim @ Thelen was wonderful, our son was young when he was killed @ age 42, Tim recommended a minister that was perfect for the service. We had 400 people at the funeral and Tim was busy making everyone comfortable, he was a rock thru this whole ordeal. He kept our conversations light and was able to bring a smile to our face. The funeral home was clean and he did the flower arrangements beautifully... THANK YOU so much. I would recommend your place to anyone.

Tim at Thelen funeral Home in North Prairie took care of my mother's funeral arrangements. He is very professional and friendly. I met with Tim some time earlier to preplan the arrangements; therefore I knew exactly what to expect. I had so many questions as to what the funeral home took care of and what were all the items I needed to take care of at the time of my mother's passing. The funeral also took place during the pandemic so, there were obvious adjustments to make and then my mother had to be transported down to Illinois for burial. Tim took care of everything. My mother looked wonderful, the make-up artist did an excellent job. I highly recommend his service.

Tim made an unbearable moment for our family as comfortable as possible. His guidance and understanding nature helped us through the planning without seeming patronizing or insincere. I couldn't recommend him any higher.

Thelen focused on celebrating Mom's life and brought us peace and comfort. Tim can read people extremely well and knew when to insert humor or give a warm hug. He and his staff were so incredibly kind and made making the arrangements easy while we delt with our grief. They are organized and took care of all the plans. We just had to show up for the funeral and everything was set up beautifully. We did plan some of the arrangements before her passing and that was extremely helpful. We cannot say enough about Tim and his staff. We appreciate them for taking care of us and our dear mother.

So sorry for your loss! I truly enjoyed working with Doug on the farm, he was a good guy. Will be missed.

PASSED

Passed, just a few days ago now . . .
a living, breathing soul, into an eternity
that is only one tick away from our own beating hearts,
an eternity that surrounds everything we can ever know.

Passed into the eons of time that we can never know again
are her life and soul, but not her love.
Her love that surrounds us and that is unsurpassed,
is passed into our lives like the late autumn glow
of the maple down by the road.

It colors the tone of our breath and bone.
It sings the song of our memories.
