We recently had a very caring and compassionate experience with Don Kalec, Jr. and his staff. He was willing to work with us in planning a difficult situation with a relative’s death and burial concerns. We highly recommend Kalec Funeral Home to anyone needing these services.

It is easy to forget the personal attention and dedication you receive from family owned business. These wonderful people who, not only provide a service, but who actually care about the communities they are a part of. Kalec Funeral Home is one such place and I would highly recommend them.
