Linnemann Funeral Homes

We never imagined that we would have to choose a funeral home to care for our son. The thought of doing that was so unsettling. And the decision had to be made so quickly after our son's unexpected death. Thankfully, our dear friend, Erin, was with us the night Joe died. She has had to bury both her husband and her mother. Erin immediately offered to call Louis and assured us that he would do everything possible to take care of us. She was right. Louis was at our house the next morning offering compassion and guidance. He brought a calming presence to all of us. We wanted to do our best to honor and celebrate our son's life, which meant many details had to be tended to before the service. Louis and his staff were amazing in their willingness to communicate with different members of our family who had each offered to take care of the details of the photo video, obituary, life story booklet, and arrangements with the church. Louis generously gave his contact information to anyone in our family who needed it. Nobody wants to have to choose a funeral home. But it is inevitable for all of us. We are so grateful that we chose Linnemann Funeral Homes for our son. Mike and Christine Whelan

Louis Linnemann is a true professional. He and his staff were compassionate and exceptionally accommodating. During this difficult COVID pandemic, they went well above and beyond what we expected. We highly recommend Linnemann Funeral Homes!

I have to take a minute to brag on Josh B. From Linnemann. I recommend your facility two different times because of the care that was given to my family years ago when I lost my brother in law. A year ago today, I recommended Linneman Funeral home to my girlfriend whose husband committed suicide. When you have circumstances like this, it’s hard to understand and process it all. We were all in such shock. Josh took such wonderful care of her and her children during this most difficult time. My husband and I took care of making arrangements for her husband’s actual service by getting my brother and sister in law to speak and sing at his service. Josh went over and beyond to help them get set up and tear down after the service . He showed so much compassion at a time when the family needed it the most. He is genuinely so kind hearted and so compassionate. Last week, I recommended your place to my best friend Missy. Her and I grew up today but she since moved away. She lived in Burlington while her son was in high school but now resides in Versailles, Ky. Her son, Brent, who was in the military, died in a car accident in California. She immediately called me to ask where she should have his body sent to. I without hesitation mentioned Linnemann. I just know what kind of care that is given by your staff. When you lose a loved one, there are so many stages of grief that we experience. Sometimes it’s so hard to even think far ahead because your mind is going in so many directions. But I will say this, Josh stepped up and really went the extra mile to take care of Brent’s arrangements. I made arrangements to get our hometown to come out and pay respects to this young man and give him the honor he deserved when his body arrived at CVG. I couldn’t have done it without the help of Josh. He stayed in contact with me and helped me with doing this. I have never met someone who is so compassionate about his job. I am so grateful that he assisted their family. I honestly wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to have handled it. When talking to him, you genuinely feel that he cares about you and your well being. I will let you know this, I spoke with Brent’s mother today and she thanked me for recommending Josh and Linneman Funeral home to her. She then proceeded to break down crying and told me that Josh drove to her house to bring her a military plaque. He drove 1 hour and 20 minutes away to deliver that to them so they didn’t have to make the trip. He spent almost 3 hours in driving to make sure they got it. I was floored but not surprised because he truly is a very wonderful person who goes over and beyond to help you in your time of need.Missy’s exact words were to me while she was in tears was, “ thank you so much for recommending Josh to me, I don’t see him as an employee of the funeral home, I feel like I made a friend”. That’s what customer service is all about. It’s been on my heart to just share that with you. Josh is such a sweet man and I can’t begin to thank him enough for taking such amazing care of both families. He made a lasting impression on both families. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need. If anything ever happens to me, I would want Josh in charge. Thank him for me please. Good job, Linneman Funeral Home!

Linnemann Funeral Homes is THE best! They handle the toughest time with grace, kindness, professionalism and compassion. I was so touched by every member of their staff. It is a real gift to help people during this difficult time. I can't say enough about how wonderful they all are.!

When my nephew died unexpectedly, Louis Linnemann and his staff were amazing at helping us through this incredibly difficult time. He did everything in his power to make the experience as healing for my family as possible. He answered every question with honesty, compassion, and when appropriate, gentle humor to help us all. Losing a young person is always so jarring and difficult. Louis and his team helped us create a beautiful ritual to say goodbye and a ceremony that was a true celebration of life. Even with covid restrictions in place, Louis and his team made everything the best we could hope for in this situation. Although I never would have dreamed to have met him in this way, I’m so glad Louis and his team cared for Joe and our family. I can’t recommend them enough.
