Amy was very helpful and kind. She helped me with getting Mom's obituary into the newspaper on time, identifying Mom's body, providing the cremation and death certificates, and making special Remembrance cards for Mom's Celebration of Life service.

Steve and everyone at Anderson were wonderful to work with. They took such beautiful care with our mom down to the littlest detail.

To the Staff at Anderson Funeral Home - words cannot express our sincere appreciation for your extraordinary assistance in coordinating the funeral service for our daughter and getting her back to Belvidere from Las Vegas.

Special mention to Amy for all your hard work and kind words at such a difficult time for us . . . whenever we were at the office the staff could not be more accommodating. Your patience and professionalism helped us through. We are forever thankful and grateful to all of you. We are so lucky to have you in our community.
