“Hartquist Funeral Home and their entire staff were incredibly kind and supportive to our family. They answered every question with patience and guided us through each step of planning the service. When any of us struggled—especially our grandkids—they offered comfort and care. The funeral was beautiful and truly honored our loved one. We’re deeply grateful for the way they walked beside us during such a difficult time.”
“We cannot say enough about the quality of service and the kindness we received from Lewis Epple and all the Hartquist staff. They guided us through a very difficult situation with a great deal of compassion.”
“The first time we met with Jeff at Hartquist Funeral Home was 20 years ago for our father. It was one of the first funerals Jeff had done after moving to Luverne. The level of service then was excellent. Now, in 2024, we called on his services, again, for my mother. His level of caring has not changed. I believe caring that much is part of his soul. They continued to treat our mother with the dignity she deserved after 100 years and 8 months. Their attention to us, as a family, was so very appreciated. They knew how deep our grief was and how easily distracted we would be that day. Thank you, Jeff, for being there for us and to Lexi for gently nudging us so we were always where we needed to be. Thank you to the entire staff. Bless you. 💕”
“Jeff and his team did an excellent job for my father in-laws funeral, he was personable and spoke to the younger children to help them understand what they will see. Everyone was very professional but comforting at the same time, gave us space when we needed it.”
“Thank you for making something that is so hard…so much easier than I expected. It takes some very special people to handle something so personable and delicate with so much grace and compassion.”
