Anatoly Kalchik was quick to respond when we first contacted him on a Saturday. He spoke in Ukrainian to my mom, my brothers and the rest of us. He had comforting words and was so empathetic to us durning this shocking time. There was no rush. Everything was said clearly, there was no confusion on the prices or time. All the details were clearly stated. We were able to see our dad dressed a few days later at the funeral home. Then Anatoly brought my dad to the memorial service. And to the gravesite. Anatoly was so helpful at both services, he even took pictures of our family (we didn’t have a photographer.) My mom was comforted working with a Ukrainian speaking personnel. Anatoly was able to answer all her questions in her native language. Thank you Anatoly and everyone at Klontz services! May God bless you!

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Klontz funeral home and cremation for the exceptional care and compassion they showed during the most difficult time of my life. From the moment I contacted them, Diane treated my husband’s cremation with the utmost respect, dignity, and professionalism. She guided me through each step with clarity and kindness, never rushing or pressuring me, and always making sure I felt supported. The process was handled smoothly and thoughtfully, which brought great comfort to me and my family. It was clear they genuinely cared about honoring my husband’s memory. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and gentle approach made a world of difference. In a time of overwhelming grief, Klontz funeral home and cremation provided peace of mind and a sense of solace that I will never forget. I cannot thank them enough for helping us through this with such grace. Daniels and Thomas family
