“Eisenhower Funeral Home has been used for many of my family members, most recently for my father. During this difficult time, the owner Mike was very friendly, helpful and caring throughout the entire process of the funeral and getting the death certificates to me. Elizabeth has also been wonderful as she has followed up and checked on me and my family several days/weeks after the service. I pray you won’t ever need these services but in the event you do, I highly recommend this family friendly company for your needs during a very difficult time.”
“Mike was wonderful. From the day my mom took her last breath. Mike was there. We live in Texas and mom was to be buried in Oklahoma. Mike made sure everything was taken care of. Mike even order flowers at our request and they were beautiful. Thank you Mike for everything you.have done. Your encouraging words.”

We need more people like them in this world. Thank you Mike, Elizabeth and staff for such a caring spirit. 100% Recommend Eisenhour Funeral home”
“Eisenhour Funeral Home worked with our local funeral home to get my mom’s body to Oklahoma where she wanted to be buried. They made a difficult time much easier. Elizabeth and Mike stayed in contact throughout the entire process and, after the funeral, have periodically stayed in touch to let me know they are thinking of us. I can’t thank them enough.”
“Following the recent passing of my wife, a single call to Eisenhour Funeral Home initiated a smooth, seamless chain of events. Our family met with Mike Dubois and worked through all the necessary details. At no time did we encounter unnecessary pressure, only concern. Visitation, funeral, out of state transport, and burial were all performed professionally and courteously, eliminating a lot of stress on our family during a difficult time.”
