"I have always loved the appearance of the Fortville facility, it is more comforting because of the "home" effect it has, versus the funeral home appearance. Everyone was so helpful and followed my wishes to the "T". My mother's appearance was so beautiful and so "peaceful." This has been a big help to me with my ability to handle such a huge loss. The staff members were so gracious to my family and helpful. He returned all my cards and his follow-up was so thoughtful. Casey was a great help also. The leaflets you sent were so timely sent and the information was very useful. I passed them on to my family members. The respect the Erlewein family showed toward my needs and concerns was so above and beyond."

Everything went smoothly, including the trip to Salem. Mom just loved going on your trips. She would call the day after and give us all the details!"

"The nicest facility in Hancock County, which made Dad's funeral so easy to manage. The location on US 40 made it so easy for out of town visitors to find and immaculate appearance lent real class to such a somber occasion. The staff was very courteous and professional and Dad's appearance was superior. My compliments to the entire staff at Erlewein Mortuary. Service was first-class quality. Evan Osborn made the chore of making arrangements nearly effortless for our family. His attentiveness to our every need made this solemn time extremely easy to accept." "I would just like to express my deep gratitude for your sincere service toward our family during this difficult time. Your professionalism, your attention to detail, and your caring support meant so much to us. In a world where 'service' seems to have taken a back seat; you not only exemplify it, but you 'kick it up a notch'! It's so good to know there are people like you all who are there to help, guide, and support families who experience the loss of a loved one. With sincere gratitude."

"I would just like to express on behalf of (our) family how truly pleased we were with the staff of Erlewein Mortuaries. We felt privileged to have you in our community to guide us through the most difficult times of our lives with the passing of our father and our mother. We were treated with respect and felt the staff were truly concerned with our needs. Great care was taken to make sure no detail was left unattended preparing Dad and Mom for the service. We felt very pleased with the way they were presented and the quality of the service as a full. It was also much appreciated that at the last minute we overlooked notifying one of our relatives that we needed them to be a pallbearer and Greg Johnson stepped up and took on the role as pallbearer for our Mother, which was greatly appreciated and once again showed us that Erlewein Mortuaries truly cares about the families and it isn't 'just a job'."
Michelle P. -
"Dane, thank you for lifting our heavy hearts during this difficult time. (Our family) has used your facility before with our in-laws and found it very peaceful and pretty and easy to get to. I never gave it a second thought when (my husband) passed to take him any place else. The home is so nice and all the employees are courteous and ready to help with anything you need. I would like to thank Dane especially. He helped me slide through it all with a lot of peace of mind. I think the kids felt this comfort, also. I want to thank all of you with all my heart for making it so easy for all of us. If at any time we can recommend the home, we surely will. God bless all of you."
Alberta S. -
"You have all been so wonderful in helping us through our difficult times. (My husband) had much respect for you and wanted to be at "Erlewein's". Many people commented to us about the work you do. God bless all of you as you serve the public. He will reward you! We as a family are so pleased with all you have done for us. I am so happy (my husband) chose Erleweins quite some time ago. He had much respect for all of you and our family feels the same way. God bless you!"
Doris I. -
"Thank you so much for everything. I had no idea how much it would mean to me to see my Dad as I remembered him, rather than how we saw him at the hospital. I didn't realize how that would affect me - but you did. I so appreciate the care and effort you put into your work - you did a beautiful job and really blessed us in that! Thank you! We are very thankful for the way you handled everything (especially us!) and for the opportunity to meet so many caring people from Erleweins. Each one ministered to us in a unique way. We are beginning to understand why Dad requested you to handle his funeral arrangements. We pray God will bless each of you as you minister to families during a time of great need. You have blessed us!"

"Everything was wonderful. Evan was so caring and kept checking on everyone through the entire process. We couldn't have nicer things to say about him and the rest of the staff.
