The Volzke's did a great job years ago handling my mom's passing. They continue doing a fabulous job working with the death, services and plans for many details concerning my father's recent passing. I continue to be quite pleased with their work, particularly attention to detail.

Our family wants to thank you Jeff and your son Jaden for the memorable care you showed us while helping with all the arrangements for Bob's funeral. We knew we would not have to be concerned about anything.

From the moment we met with Jeff at Volzke Funeral Home, we knew we were in good hands. He handled every aspect with efficiency, respect, and genuine care.

My dad was a pastor in the area and had worked with many funeral homes. Volzke Funeral Home was his choice and we soon saw why he recommended them.

Jeff was upfront about all costs, never pressured us, and offered helpful suggestions when asked. We felt completely supported and trusted his experience to manage every detail flawlessly.

It's clear that Jeff and his crew are genuinely compassionate people who understand the importance of honoring loved ones with dignity. Their professionalism and caring approach allowed our family to focus on grieving and remembering that we’ll be united with our loved one again because we are saved by faith in Jesus.

We wholeheartedly recommend Volzke Funeral Home. Thank you, Jeff!

During one of the most difficult times in our life, the team at Volzke Funeral Home provided comfort, Compassion, and incredible support. From the very first moment, they treated my wife's memory with the utmost respect and ensured that every detail of her funeral was handled with care and dignity.

They guided us through the planning process with such understanding and took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, making sure everything was exactly as we envisioned.

Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made an unbearable situation much easier to bear. I'll forever be grateful for the way they helped honor my wife's life and legacy. Thank you for everything. James Lenz and Family

Our recent experience with Jeff and the staff was very satisfying and comforting as we prepared to lay our husband, father, grandfather to rest. We appreciated their caring and concern during this difficult time.

Jeff and his team were amazing to work with during such a sad and difficult time. My parents had recently relocated out of state so when our mom/wife passed away we had to make local arrangements. Jeff made all the phone calls for us and handled all the details needed to coordinate with a local funeral home. He continued to keep me apprised of how things were being taken care of and consistently assured me and told me to reach out as questions arose. Our service was a month later back in Seward and Jeff took care of all the details for us including the beautiful graveside service and beautiful table of flowers and photos at the church and reception. Jeff worked closely with the pastors at St. John Lutheran Church who also gave us a very personal and meaningful service. Our family felt well-taken care of every step of the way. Jeff was kind, assuring and very personal and we highly recommend his services. Thank you, Volzke Funeral Home!

In addition to being responsible for the owner-run business of Volzke Funeral Home, the Volzke family has been actively involved with the local community for generations. This allows for meaningful relationships to be created with community members and for the Volzke professionals to have a better understanding of the grieving families they serve. Without a doubt, Jeff, Kirsten, and Jaden approach each person entering the attractive environment of Volzke Funeral Home with professionalism, empathy, and individual service. My mother, Joyce Schriner, met with Jeff Volzke prior to her death and made most final arrangements for her funeral. Even though I was aware of my mom's requests, Jeff made sure I knew what my next steps were and reminded me of any other decisions I needed to make for my mom's services. Jeff's simple, concise instructions kept me from feeling overwhelmed and I was able to proceed through the death notices, obituary, cremation, funeral, inurnment, and lunch. Jeff's guidance for each step was very helpful. He suggested a few adjustments based on our family's needs. After the funeral, the Volzke team was happy to assist me with any remaining items or to answer any of my additional questions. The entire Volzke staff continued to provide exceptional services to our family as they have through the years for other family members and friends.

Jeff and Jaden are the most kind, personable and yet professional men who are truly gifted in their profession. The visitation for Kathleen Schlechte (Jim's sister) and the funeral and interment were done so smoothly and we felt that they would accommodate our needs and wishes to the fullest.
We also decided to take the time with Jeff to take care of our own end of life arrangements. Again Jeff was so easy to work with and friendly and yet so professional. We knew his father and we know his Dad would be so proud of Jeff and Jaden carrying on the family business with integrity.

Jeff and his family went above and beyond to help plan the service and lunch afterwards for my mother Wilma Mook. Jeff worked to find the right place and even helped set up after hours. He was professional and patient with our requests. I would wholeheartedly recommend Volzke's.

Jeff and his staff go above and beyond to help you through the tough time in your life when you lose a loved one.

It was a very pleasant experience to work with Jeff & his staff regarding Funeral Service planning and details for our father Ralph’s service. He is very professional, listens, answers your questions and works hard to solve any minor problems or issues that may come up. And some of his stories can make you chuckle a bit - he reminds me a lot of his own father Deroyce. Our dad’s service and visitation were both very nice in large part because of Jeff’s guidance and covering all the details that come naturally to him due his many years of experience in his career.
Many thanks Jeff & staff.

Jeff and his family were very caring, helpful, and professional. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Volzke Funeral Home.

Gayle Bayer

Jeff and his family was an incredible comfort to us during a difficult time. As both my sister and I live out of state, Jeff was willing to email, call and text outside usual business hours to ensure we were part of the planning. He was clear and concise with the directions and next steps that we needed to take in partnership. There were also many personal touches that we appreciated - ensuring my Mom had a wheelchair, that our family had extra time together during some tough moments (never felt rushed) and blankets at the cemetery when it was so cold out. I can't thank him and his family for all they did for us. I would highly recommend their services to anyone - particularly for families trying to arrange services from far away.

The service and treatment we received from the Volzke family was more than we could have asked for. They went above and beyond helping us during the worst days of our lives.

Jeff did a wonderful job for us during a very difficult time. He was so accommodating to our family/ he changed his plans so we could meet when it worked for us and his input and knowledge helped us to decide on so many things as a group. He was very considerate and patient with just the right amount of help that we needed. Would highly recommend Volzke’s - they were all great to work with.

Jeff did a great job of making sure things were the way Dad would have wanted them. He even corrected the wrong song on the video tribute on the same day as the viewing to make sure things were as we wanted. During an emotional time, it was comforting to know that Volzke's understood and were there.

We have known the Volzke family for years. It was comforting during our time of grief that Jeff and my dad had done pre-planning. Our meeting with him to do final planning was done flawlessly for my mom's visitation and service. Kirsten was very helpful in coordinating the pictures for the table and helping me get the photos ready for the slide show. The service that they provide with taking both physical and digital photos and putting them into a slide show is a wonderful addition for family and friends. I would recommend Volzke's to anyone!

We have known the Volzke family for decades. This last year has been very difficult with the passing of my father Bryce, and now this month, the passing of my 22 year old son Zachary.
One can only imagine how difficult it is to bury a son or daughter.
Zach passed due to a tragic airplane crash. It was unexpected and it literally crippled our family. Jeff and his family and staff rallied around us, helping us sort through what was coming at us next and how to deal with all the details of an accident of this caliber.
Needless to say there were a lot of details, and still are.
My family’s hearts are in tact through faith and the support of family and friends of course, but without the support and guidance of Jeff and his crew, we would have been lost.
There are no words large enough to describe the care the Volzke team takes when it comes to something as delicate as this.
Jeff, you are a true gem. You know how to comfort and keep things moving as needed.
God bless the Volzke family. We love you.
Sincerely, the Clausens.

A funeral for a loved one is a time when you need to feel everything is under control, and that someone else is taking care of it all. That's just how it was with Jeff Volzke and his staff, from planning my mother's funeral through the day of the funeral. They provided their services with the utmost compassion, care and respect. We will be forever grateful that our parents had chosen Volzke Funeral Home for the services we needed when the time came.

Having known several generations of the Volzke family it was with a feeling of trust & comfort that I made that first phone call to Jeff on April 25th. Jeff & Kirsten brought a feeling of a family working together. They provided professional expertise throughout our experience. Jeff listened to our wishes, answered our questions, made suggestions and guided us through the unknowns with compassion, sincerity, and attention to detail. Considering that my husbands vocation was music I would liken the care that we received to a well orchestrated concert with all players at their peak performance. Therefore we applaud Jeff and Kirsten for all they did for us and highly recommend Volzke Funeral Home you taking care of anyones funeral planning needs. Thank you & God Bless

Mother (and Grandmother) passed away on June 29, 2022. Volzke Funeral Home was there every step of the way, guiding us with compassion and kindness. I simply cannot say enough about Jeff & Kirsten. What amazing people and professionals. This process was completely new to us and it was such a relief to have their assistance in dealing with so many things. It allowed us to the freedom and peace to grieve mom in the right way. Words simply cannot express the gratitude the Goldsmith family has for Volzke Funeral Home and its staff.

I can't say enough good about Volzke's Funeral Home. Jeff and family took care of us from the time my mother passed until the receipt of her death certificate and beyond. Jeff is an AMAZING person to work with, so so patient with all of us in a time that you are really never ready for. They all helped us through one of the most difficult times of anyone's life with such respect and comfort. I felt they went above and beyond to make sure all our wishes were met from start to finish.

Jeff and his staff are the best! They made the whole process of planning for my husband's funeral very easy. Jeff is a definite 'people person', who obviously loves what he does. I don't believe you could find a better funeral home staff anywhere.

Karen Clausen

My mom passed away on 9-20-21, it was a very rough time for us..Jeff was so understanding and helpful. I chose Volzke's because they have taken care of my family before. Not gonna lie I was nervous, my biggest fear was that my mom would not look like herself. I was so impressed that she still looked like the beautiful mom I had she looked so peaceful and just looked as tho she was sleeping. Jeff answered any questions we had and was very honest and did not try to sell us stuff we didn't necessarily need...I hope we don't see him for a VERY long time (considering the line of work he is in) but when my time comes or another one of my loved one passes Volzke will be who I call..THANK YOU JEFF.
