    I met Ian when myself and my wife worked at Delta in Madison, WI. We became good friends over the years. We have helped each other out numerous times. It is shocking how life takes a hold and you lose track of time. I remember our last conversation on the phone together and it broke my heart what I was told. For all your struggles brother it deeply saddens me but gives me a small slight comfort that you are finally at peace and rest. I wish you were still here so we could talk and myself and my wife will miss you terribly!! We love you Ian May you have peace and give them hell till we see you again someday.

    I am thankful that Ian was my friend and I will miss seeing him. It was awesome having him and his kids at our home one year for Thanksgiving. Rest in peace my friend! You were loved, appreciated and will be missed!

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
