Millstadt, IL…After receiving submissions from across the 114th District, State Representative Kevin Schmidt (R-Millstadt) has chosen Hoffen Funeral Home in Millstadt for his “Business of the Month.” With decades of experience, Rep. Schmidt said the team that operates the family-owned funeral home goes above and beyond with their services to help care for families.
“When a loved one passes away, trust and compassion is what families need from a funeral home, and Hoffen Funeral Home has caring, professional staff members,” said Schmidt. “The owner and director, Elle Heiligenstein, prides herself for the quality of resources available to help bring comfort to families during difficult times.”
Elle Heiligenstein graduated from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale with her bachelor’s degree in mortuary science and funeral service. She has been in the funeral service since 2014 and has owned Hoffen Funeral Home since 2019. Elle personally added touches of home to the interior to make it feel like a home environment. “Hoffen” means hope in German.
Elle believes that nice funerals and cremation services don’t have to cost a fortune. Since purchasing the funeral home, Elle has proven this time and time again by offering the highest quality services at fair and ethical pricing. Hoffen has a long-standing policy of “no sales tactics” when conducting arrangements. Client families are encouraged to review all available options starting with the least expensive options and moving up rather than the common ‘top down” approach used by many others. This saves money for the consumer and ensures emotionally based, stressful decisions are avoided.
“I don’t just want satisfied families immediately following their experience with us, I want satisfied families a year later, after they have had time to really think about everything,” said Elle.
Hoffen Funeral Home is located in Millstadt and can be contacted at (618) 476-3111. Visit their website to learn more: https://www.hoffenfh.com/
