We had unexpected issues that came up that had nothing to do with the Brenny
family for my dad’s funeral and the Brenny’s got to the bottom of it. They were
very accommodating and went above and beyond! Strongly recommend. A whole team
of class acts!!

They were so nice to me. They took care of everything for me! My boyfriends body
was 1.5 hrs away. They picked him up, did the cremation, ordered my death
certificates for me. Gave me 1 price for everything. Even baked me a fresh loaf
of bread. Helped me with my questions. I highly recommend using them!

The team at Brenny was incredible from start to finish. From the first moment we
walked in to discuss the burial arrangements for our loved one, we felt so cared
for and were filled with peace. They are professional and highly skilled in
guiding families through this process and we are so grateful they were by our
sides during this difficult time. Would highly recommend their services.

The Brenny Funeral team was great from the beginning. Respectfully showing up
very timely to get dad from his assisted living apartment. Then, our experience
with John and setting up the details for the funeral went very smoothly. The day
of the funeral the team was very accommodating throughout my dad's celebration
of life. Tessa is a pleasure to work with during the process, from her being so
pleasant on the phone, coordinating and communicating via email and putting
together the slide show. Thank you Brenny Funeral team for providing a seamless
and memorable experience!

We used Brenny Funeral & Cremation for my girlfriends mother and the service was
superb. Due to lack of planning we called same day she came home on Hospice to
pass and by the grace of God a human being answered the phone on like the 1st
ring at around 2:00 in the evening on a Saturday. They agreed to support us when
she passed and upon 1:40 am we were in need of their services and they were
quick to respond, again answering their phone and by 4 am she was on her way to
the funeral home. Next faze, when we met we were treated with a wonderful baked
bread, baked by them for us and coffee, water and other accommodations as we
discussed funeral arrangements. Alex Brenny was and is a stellar gentleman and
was able pull off a burial in an astounding 5 days and the best part was, the
prices were fair and the service was excellent! Day of Funeral, we had an
intimate family gathering in which Alex Brenny once again came to the our
family’s rescue by presenting the children and our grandma with identical teddy
bears, one for grandma and 6 for the kids. They gave the kids water in their
great hall and Helped entertain them and made the actual burial process in
subzero temperatures as painless as possible. The entire family was incredibly
grateful for his services, he never left out grandma from the time she was in
his care till the time she was completely buried. In subzero temps he was out
there with her and never pushed the family to hury things along or anything
negative. Our experience at Brenny was as wonderful as one could hope it to be
and Alex Breeny is a wonderful man and brought a lot of peace to our family in
one of our darkest hours and I will always recommend Alex Breeny at Breeny
Funeral & Cremation.

We were taken care of by Jerry after we unexpectedly lost our baby at 15 weeks
gestation. Brenny’s offers cremation before 20 weeks which is such an amazing
option to parents. He went above and beyond to take a tragedy and turn it into
such a beautiful and calming experience for us. On top of an already horrible
time in our lives, we were visiting Minnesota from Colorado. Jerry expedited our
cremation so we could bring our precious baby boy home with us the next day. To
make things even more special, we purchased cremation necklaces same-day from
Jerry and a beautiful miniature urn for our sweet angel baby. We are forever
grateful for Jerry at Brenny’s.
