My beautiful Calico cat Aniko passed and I was so unprepared for the emotional wave that rolled in. Having to make that decision to end our fur babies pain and suffering is not an easy one. Letting her go was extremely difficult, but I knew the best gift I could give her was to set her free of a body that no longer served her in this life.The vet asked if I wanted her cremated and without hesitation, I said yes. When I got the little box back with her ashes and a Certificate Of Private Cremation I felt such a sense of comfort knowing it was just her in there. Then I saw the card with her little paw print stamped on the front and the most beautiful poem inside with 3 little tuffs of each color of her hair tied up in twine and the tears just started flowing, it was the most unexpectedly wonderful gift I couldve received.I will treasure each one of those little tufts of hair forever, being able to still see her colors reminds me that she is with me always and makes me feel like she was so held by the sweet souls Linnemann Pet Services. There are no words to truly express my gratitude for you all! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this beautiful gift!

The Linnemann funeral home has been wonderful to our family time and time again. They were beyond thoughtful when working with our family. When dealing with a loss, being able to have a support system take care of the funeral and service in such an honoring way was so important to my family. Linnemann funeral home exceeded our expectations. They made the transition so much easier and provided endless support throughout the entire process. Lou Linnemann was especially thoughtful and intentional towards every detail of the service. I would highly recommend this family owned funeral business to anyone who asked.

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!

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 sons 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 sons 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

Linnemann Funeral Homes took care of my dog when he passed away last week. They came and picked my dog up within a couple hours of my call, cremated him, and I picked up the remains the next day. Their prices were very reasonable and they were very kind.

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!

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.

Thank you for the cremation service you provided for our beloved pup, Willow. She was with us for 8 1/2 years and we found out unexpectedly that she had metastatic cancer in her lungs which had spread quickly from another organ. We had no idea and she went downhill fast. We had to put her down within a few days of finding out, which was devastating. The box with her name and ashes, a lock of her hair, the clay paw print with her name on it, including the paint paw print and the heartfelt rainbow bridge poem you all put together warmed our hearts. She was our baby girl and we miss her so much. Thank you for taking care of her and providing to us pieces of her to keep for the rest of our lifetime. We cannot thank you all enough.

We will die. Some sooner, some later, but we will all pass from what is to what comes next. And since that is the case, most of us will have the task of taking care of the final details for a family member or friend. That’s the position my sister and I were in a few weeks ago (Sept. 2019). Our brother had let us know he wanted us to work with the Linnemann Family for his after death care. That may have been his final gift to us as from our first call until the burial, we were cared for like family. Each step in the process was e planned. Nothing was rushed. Louis had answers to each query. Marsha listened to our stories which were captured perfectly in the Life Story she wrote. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for the way they guided us through this difficult time. I pray when it is my turn for someone to carry out my final wishes that they have the same amazing care my sister and I received from this wonderful family.

I could not be more thankful for Louis Linnemann and the team at Linnemann Funeral Homes. Louis and his team were the perfect balance of compassionate and caring while also being effective and efficient. The level of service was exceptional.Louis served our family for my Grandfathers passing and services, handling each and every detail with perfection. Knowing that his time was near, we were able to speak with Louis to plan as much of the funeral in advance. This made the actual passing much much easier on our family. Louis already knew all the details and was able to work with the church and the facility for the visitation without having to ask any questions of our family as we grieved.My family is a little unique and prefers to celebrate life rather than mourn, and Louis handled everything with ease, even down to the purchasing of the champagne for the toast at the interment of the ashes. In addition, Louis was able to recommend another family business, The Delish Dish Catering, to cater a small dinner for family and close friends who were in town. Their team knew exactly what we needed and executed everything with perfection, as well, enabling us to focus on spending time with our family and remembering and celebrating my grandfather. This added bonus just was the perfect addition to all of the details that Linnemann Funeral Homes provided to ensure we celebrated my grandfathers life in a way that fit our family.I cant recommend Louis and his team highly enough, especially during such a difficult moment in life.

We used Linnemann Funeral Home for both of our parents funerals. My mother’s 8 years ago was sudden and tragic. My fathers this month was after 91 years but a quick passing. Both funerals were perfect. We could not have asked for better service, compassion or attention to details. During these difficult times it is good to know that you have someone to take care of making everything right. Guy and then Marsha perfectly incorporated the incredible lives of my parents in great life stories, something we will forever treasure. The photo boards allowed us to reminisce while picking out the pictures. They even helped pick out the perfect Navy casket for Dad! Louis was great to deal with answering questions and staying on top of the details. Thank you Linnemann for a perfect tribute to wonderful parents!

They were very helpful with my fathers passing. Many questions they answered and made it simple as its hard figuring everything out doing your first burial. The place was very fitting and clean. All the options they have available to accommodate your services is a blessing. Thank you for helping my family during that time.

I used the pet cremation service at Linnemann for my beloved kitty, Annabel. I was treated with kindness and understanding from the first inquiring phone call, through the tearful goodbye, and the collection of her cremains. A heartfelt thank you to all.

It’s never easy when you need a Funeral Home but when you do Linnemann makes is so much easier! They are so professional, but so caring at the same time. My family unfortunately had to contact a funeral provider the end of 2019 for my grandmother. The provider we used was not at all pleasant and did not make the grieving process easier, but almost harder from having to stress and worry about things. In January of 2020 we unfortunaly had to contact a funeral provider yet again for my grandfather. We knew we were nit satisfied with the provider for my grandmother and figured it couldnt be any worse so we would try a different provider and decided to contact Linnrmann and honestly we couldn’t have ask for anything better than what they provided. They are the BEST in NKY in my book!

Josh Batchelor with Linneman Funeral Homes cared for my family at the time of my fathers passing in 2016 and my moms passing is 2020. Josh and the staff at Linneman went above and beyond with their service and compassion. I will be eternally grateful for their professionalism and grace. We won’t go anywhere else when the need arises again.

Linnemann is simply the best around. We have had several friends who have been taken care of by the Linnemann team over the years and could not be more impressed with the level of care that is provided to the families both during the services and after. Over the years my Husband (who is a pastor and does multiple funeral services a year involving many different funeral homes) and I have interacted with several different employees and they have all been incredibly kind, compassionate and professional in how they have dealt with the families they were caring for in comparison to other funeral homes in our area. The owner, Louis Linnemann, has gone above and beyond many times to take care families and serves them with dignity, care and compassion. How he is portrayed in a former review is no where near accurate of the man he is or the business he operates. He is kind, helpful, and does whatever possible to help families find peace and comfort during their time is suffering. We have had several personal interactions with him and could not be more impressed with him and his team. I highly recommend choosing Linnemann to care for you and your family during your time of need.

When our son Eric died Linnemann Funeral Homes held our hands, walked us through many obstacles, and demonstrated genuine love, concern and professionalism. They took our sons ring burned in the fire and had it restored for us. It is a cherished keepsake. Blessings to Guy, Marsha, and Louis Linnemann and all of the staff at Linnemann Funeral Home.

Our family was very shocked at the passing of our sister. However, in spite of this very sad news, from the moment that Linnemann Funeral Home was notified of her passing to the time of burial, they showed up with patience, respect, kindness, compassion, and care throughout the entire process, even with a holiday thrown in there. Their friendly professionalism was top-notch, and our entire family felt that their service for our sister was a blessing, and a class-act. They thought of every aspect of her service, and were there to work with us. There were also numerous things which they even took care to add special touches that were above and beyond what would be expected to be thought of. We were truly blessed in spite of the circumstances.

I only wish I have the ability to give Linnemann Funeral Homes higher than a 5 star rating. When my 43 year old husband passed away I was left to deal with his funeral and cope with the grief of my children. Louis Linnemann and Marcia Linnemann were incredible and loving resources to me as I dealt with the funeral arrangements. They were completely involved in my desire to prepare a loving tribute to an amazing father and husband. Louis and Marcia both went above and beyond to care for us during a very horrific time. From the moment of our first meeting I knew they were going to take a personal interest in my family. They even continue to reach out to me to check in to see if they can assist me or my family with our grief months later. I highly recommend Linnemann Funeral Homes.

My grandmother (and best friend) recently passed away. I have never, in my life, been treated with such respect, personalization, caring, and kindness! They made the transition for my family so much easier! They did more than I could have ever asked for or imagined! We had a beautiful video with music and photos, a beautiful personalized story celebrating her life, and the most wonderful celebration ceremony. Thank you Bart and Jason, and everyone else! Thank you for making such a tough time in our lives so much more bareable! You all are angels!!

Review №29

I was overwhelmingly unimpressed with the treatment my family and I received from the owner of Linnemanns, Louis, after a long morning of processing and coping with my Grandmothers passing.My Gradfather, too, passed 3 months ago and we used a specific funeral home for his cremation (without any service.) With the shock of this heartache this morning we contacted this same company to perform the cremation service and then set up an appointment with Linnemann to discuss holding the actual ceremony.When arriving at Linnemann, we were greeted by a woman who was very warm, accommodating, and expressed her condolences. When we met with Louis his first words to us were not Im sorry for your loss, but instead inquiring as to why we didnt use them for the cremation. He then informed us that since we used an outside company for the cremation, that we werent allowed to use their facility for a ceremony.I understand that certain rules and guidelines need to be met, but the sheer rude and unprofessional manner that the situation was handled made my familys nightmare of an experience even worse.In this type of business, treating those grieving with respect and sympathy is at the utmost importance. I would not recommend this type of treatment that we received to anyone.
