Our Values

Our caring and professional Funeral Directors are available 24 hours a day to offer assistance. In addition, we have full-time and part-time support staff that has been trained to assist you with services, paperwork, and many other items. Most people have no idea what is involved in making funeral arrangements, what the costs are, and what final arrangements their loved one would have wanted. You need a trusted friend who can offer their experience in making funeral or cremation arrangements that will satisfy your wishes, your traditions, and your financial needs. The staff at Downs-Lesage and Lenroot-Maetzold Funeral Homes and cremation service are caring professionals who are committed to understanding your individual needs, traditions, and customs.
