Our mother passed recently and Andy Harrigan helped my family with all of our arrangements. We could have not had a better experience. He was very thorough in going over all wishes and making everything the way we wanted. I needed to callback a few times with questions and they were all addressed promptly. The home is a beautiful historic building.We had a meal at their gathering center after the service. This is a separate building on the property and is very nice. It was delicious and very convenient for everyone.Thankyou, Andy and all the associates at Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home

We recently used Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home as our provider of choice for our mother's memorial service. I cannot express enough positive things about the facility and all of their personnel. They were so responsive from the first time we communicated with them regarding our mother, her service and our needs and requests. Their courtesy, kindness and professionalism in dealing with us was excellent. They were helpful in suggesting various options to us as a family, and worked with us when we had questions. They encouraged and respected our input. The service was so well put together, the personnel throughout the process were so kind and caring and we have not one regret or complaint to be voiced. The dinner they provided afterward was wonderful - I highly and whole heartedly recommend them when you may be going through the loss of your loved one.
Morgan Fricke
Andy was amazing throughout the whole process. We lost my dad after a long battle with cancer and Andy was so great putting the obituary together and getting everything we needed organized, with ZERO weight on our shoulders, giving us the proper time to grieve instead of worrying about funeral arrangements. He made my entire family feel so welcome, so comfortable, and he listened so closely to everything my dad would have wanted, he also worked with us on payment as life insurance denied our claim and was so helpful through that as well! If you have lost a loved one and need funeral arrangements or want to arrange your own, give Harrigan funeral homes a call. You will NOT be disappointed

Andy and the staff at Harrigan are wonderful. From day one Andy was very thorough and showed so much sincerity. Our fathers service was beautiful. They did such a great job setting up and preparing a space that was personal to our family, in a beautiful venue. I greatly appreciate Andy, his genuineness and gentleness during such a difficult time was welcomed with open arms. Communication with the funeral home was always prompt, and Harrigan was very accommodating to all our needs. Our family felt very much like a priority and an important and cared for one at that. With gratitude and thanks, I highly recommend.

I just finished pre-planning my motherβs funeral. I chose Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home, and my contact person was Taylor. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a competent and sympathetic funeral director.From our first meeting, Taylorβs professionalism and empathy stood out. She guided me through the entire process with care, making a difficult task much more manageable. She clearly has a thorough knowledge of funeral arrangements: she explained all available options carefully, so that I understood every step. After our meeting, she promptly followed up with all the necessary information, which reflected her dedication and organizational skills.What really touched me, though, was Taylor's genuine compassion. She truly understands the emotional weight of planning a funeral for a loved one, and she offered advice that was not only thoughtful but also sensitive to my familyβs needs.Iβm truly grateful to have had Taylor by my side during this process. I am confident that when the time comes, Taylor and the team at Harrigan Parkside will carry out my motherβs ceremony with the utmost dignity and compassion, giving my family the peace of mind we need.
Cathy Mertens Paulson
Dennis and his staff were outstanding during the most difficult days after our Dad's passing. Professionalism and compassionate care were clearly evident in ALL aspects of the arrangements and decisions that needed to be made. The entire process was seamless and every effort was made to meet or surpass our requests. The Mertens Family
Shannon Pritzl
Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home was outstanding in providing our family with the funeral services we requested in a professional and compassionate manner. It was a pleasure to work with Andy and the team and we would highly recommend their services to any family.
Mary Breivogel
Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home was outstanding in guiding us through the entire funeral process. Their level of professionalism, care and compassion was exceptional!The Celebration of Life at The Gathering Center was beautiful. They went above and beyond to make it special. We continue to get compliments on how nice the service was.Thank you to Dennis, Andy, Max and Taylor. You made a very difficult time in our lives much easier. We are so grateful for all of you and what you do!
Roberta Kelley
Harrigan Parkside, especially directors Andy and Max, provided exceptional funeral services during the heartbreaking recent death of my husband Mike. Their compassion and attention to every detail was beyond measure and greatly appreciated. From the excellent care taken in preparation for my husbandβs viewing, to kindness towards all the many family and friends at the service, to the wonderful luncheon including respectful service staff throughout, the professionalism never faltered. One feels deeply sad, fragile and vulnerable at times like these, but would never hesitate to call upon Harrigan Parkside to provide their expertise following the death of a loved one.
Susan Buchert
Andrew and the team at Harrigan Parkside made planning our final farewell worry free. The attention that was paid to details that expressed my mothers personality were amazing. They went above and beyond our expectations and made it possible for us to focus on our family and the grieving process. There are not enough words to express our thanks for all they did to make this a beautiful send off for our mother.
Rebecca Martell
When a loved one passes, it is normally, a very emotional time. Recently I experienced this and had never had to personally handle all the details that come along with it. Andy was very helpful, to the point he significantly eased my anxiety of the overwhelming days to come. To add another dimension, I live in New Mexico so I really was concerned how I was going to handle all the details from several miles away. I would strongly recommend Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home to anyone wanting someone that is not only greatly empathetic, but goes above and beyond to show they care. Thanks again Andy for all your help!
Kathryn Goswitz
Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home did a wonderful job with my dadβs funeral. Andy made the planning process as seamless as possible and throughout the entire process we did not have to worry about anything. He had everything under control so we could just focus on my dad and attendees. It made a very difficult time much easier and much less stressful. I highly recommend!
Sandy Curtis
We came to Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home and Crematory to place our pre-planning of our lives in Andy's care. Andy & his staff did a remarkable job to make it as easy as possible to do this project.My daughter recently passed. At a large hospital over an hour away. Andy & Matt brought my daughter home, safely, the very same day she passed. The entire team at Harrigans have been wonderfu to me & my family. This gave us comfort. Andy Harrigan has angel wings that we can't see, but they are there. I find him & his Dad, Dennis, with their staff, highly recommended for care of your loved ones and yourself. God Bless them.
Kelly Marquardt
I simply can not recommend Harrigan Parkside highly enough. Planning a funeral or memorial can be a very stressful and emotional time. We worked with Max and Taylor who walked us thoroughly over all the details so we didnβt have a question. And yet somehow it was not overwhelming. More importantly they listened to what we were looking for to honor our mother and captured every small detail. They had great empathy for my entire family and we were treated with great respect as were all of our guests. They encouraged our laughs when they came as well as our tears. The vendors that they work with (flowers, catering, etc) worked seamlessly with Harrigan. We did not need to do anything, they did all the planning and set up. When we walked in the room set up for our celebration, it was perfect from guests being greeted to the placement of flowers and pictures. Staff was available the entire time for us prior to the celebration and through the entire service assisting with clean up. Quite simply, Harrigan made it possible for my family and I to focus on our family and friends and truly celebrate and honor my mother.
Debbi Doo Lorge
Harrigan Parkside is the only funeral home I would ever consider to care for my loved ones. The compassion and genuine caring is second to NONE! Everyone has been amazing in helping us plan the inconceivable three family funerals in the last two and a half years. Thank you to Andy, Denny and the entire staff!
sherrie Czechanski
The Entire Team at Harrigan Parkside exceeded all of our expectations...It was so difficult to process the passing of both parents on the same day in two different states. The customer service was amazing. Our Celebration of Lives for Mom and Dad was a bit complex. The Team always found a way to meet our needs. If I could give 10 Stars, I would. Thank You to Everyone, You All are the Best in your field.

Harrigan Parkside funeral home/ crematory was very helpful when my mom passed away unexpectedly. Andy was very compassionate and caring with helping my family get everything taken care of since we had no plans in place for her. He was very patient with us and answered all questions we had. I would highly recommend this place to others. The Harrigans are very caring and compassionate family. Thanks again for all the help.
Mark Schaller
My mother-in-law & her family would like to express gratitude to Max & Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home. Max guided us with the arrangements & assisted us throughout the entire process. He handled every detailed & when we arrived for the celebration of my father-in-lawβs life, everything was set up nicely for greeting the guests & for the meal afterwards at the gathering place. Max was very helpful & personable & went above & beyond making the day of the service so nice. We appreciate all he did & would highly recommend Harrigan Parkside
Allison Millikin
Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home handled the arrangements for my fatherβs funeral. Andy was very compassionate and supportive during this difficult time for my family. Knowing every detail was taken care of gave us peace of mind. Andy made sure all our questions were answered and concerns met. Many thanks to Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home.
Debra Larson
Harriganβs staff was professional, compassionate, and with their guidance the funeral was beautiful and uneventful. The video our family put together of Momβs life was especially meaningful. Mom would have been happy with our decision to use Harrigan Parkside.
Brooke Dorin
On one of the hardest days of mine and my families life, every single one of the Harrigan Parkside crew made the day go so smoothly, and made us feel as comfortable and loved as possible. They were so compassionate, and made sure that anything and everything we needed, we had. I consider every single one of the members a part of my family and will hands down recommend them to anybody who needs a place to set their family/friends free, into the eternal hands of God. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. Also a shout out to a long time friend, Max Wagner, who went out of his way to send me my grandpaβs obituary and card, and kept in touch with me throughout my grieving process.
Elizabeth Turek
We cannot recommend highly enough the service, professionalism, and compassion that Harrigan Parkside provides to families. My husband and I worked with Andy in arranging services for our daughter's burial. At our first meeting he told us he would handle everything for our daughter as if she was his own, and he truly did. He treated us as family, and we will forever grateful for the generosity and kindness that he showed us as we navigated an unexpected loss. He made sure that our needs were met and questions answered, and checked in on us weeks after our daughter's burial to see how we were doing and if he could do anything for us. We were blown away by the support we received from Andy. He & the staff at Harrigan Parkside are truly an asset to the Lakeshore Community.
Kelly Seefeldt
If I could give 100 stars I would!! I honestly cannot say enough good things about this funeral home, and the amazing people that work here. My husband passed away unexpectedly last month, and the last thing that I wanted to do was plan his funeral. I thought that it was going to be stressful, and scary, and SO hard to do..but in reality, it was the complete opposite. The minute we walked through that door, we felt like family. We had Max as our funeral director, and I could not be more grateful for this man. He was so kind, so genuine, so humble, and so compassionate throughout this whole process. He went above and beyond, and exceeded ANY expectations that we had. Everything turned out BEAUTIFUL..and we left this place, feeling like we made a friend.
Carrie Stangel
Words cannot express our gratitude to Andrew and Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home for accommodating our special requests in celebrating my fatherβs life. The celebration was a beautiful tribute to his wonderful life. My expectations were far exceeded. There was a huge sense of relief in knowing that every detail was handled. We sincerely appreciate your patience, kindness, guidance and support during this very difficult time. We cannot thank you enough!
Wendy Brooks
Andy at Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home did an amazing job for our family. He was professional and compassionate, and felt he trulely cared about our family. The home itself is was beautiful. Andy made sure there were no hidden costs, and that we understood everything. He went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home!
Curt & Sue Jahn
This was the first time that I have had to plan a funeral. Fortunately, my mother preplanned her funeral with Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home, so that made it so much easier for me. Andrew was so kind, helpful, and understanding. He reviewed what my mother had already planned, and I provided some wishes that my mother had shared with me before she went to Heaven. Andrew also provided some options for me to consider, as well as what is customary, and what are best practices. He answered all of my questions. Max was awesome, and was so helpful, professional and personable, guiding us through the day of the funeral and taking care of so many details, so that I (and my family) didn't have to concern ourselves with. Thank you so much for making my mom's funeral memorable and so nice.Susan Jahn
Kari Meinnert
Harrigan was so very compassionate and helpful when my sister passed away. Adam went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable with every step of the process. Pete was polite when I picked up the cremation. Even during a follow up call Andy asked if there was anything more they could do. For never having to have had to deal with a funeral home. They made it all so comforting for my family and me. I canβt say enough. Thank you .
Martha Price
Recently we lost my Mom. Before she passed she chose to do pre-planning at Harrigan Parkside. They treated her so well, and helped her to choose exactly what she wanted. When the unfortunate time of her passing came, they were absolutely AMAZING! They helped us put the final touches on moms plans, made sure we were at peace with everything and were well taken care of before, during and after her funeral. I am forever thankful to them for helping us during this difficult time.
paulette vogt
It was a great pleasure to work with Andy and his father Dennis. Everything that we needed to do was planned very well with no problems. Both men made sure we were taken care of and if we needed anything to just give them a call. They took care of everything. I was very happy with all of the work we did with them.
Diane Streubel
Losing a loved one is always difficult. Harrigan Parkside was outstanding in their professionalism, making it as easy as possible with the decisions and arrangements. They made us feel like we mattered. Listening to our every need and providing guidance and assistance throughout the entire process.

Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home was a real Godsend for our family. They helped our parents with pre-arrangements for their funerals and recently helped us through the unexpected death of our mother and two months later with the passing of our father. Their help ahead of time, coupled with their compassion and caring, assured our parents received the Celebration of Life they deserved. We want to thank the whole Harrigan team for helping us through this most difficult time.
Tina Busse
Dennis, Andrew and their staff were wonderful and supportive helping our family during our difficult time. Professional and so compassionate while helping us make the right decisions. My family has always relied on Harrigan Parkside and we will continue to count on them to be there for us in the future.
darci LaChappelle
Update....Over 1 year later, Andy and everyone at Harrigan Parkside still providing caring and exceptional experience. When they say "we are here if you need anything, let me know if there is anything we can do"....they mean it. Went back to order additional keepsake urn, and was treated as though it was just yesterday that they were there for us helping us navigate through the most difficult process. Again, no one can compete with Harrigan Parkside! Thank you!We are beyond pleased that we chose Harrigan Parkside to help us through this difficult process. From the 1st phone call, we knew they had our best interest in mind. They made sure to explain and cover all aspects and options to be sure that we did not miss any important details. They were there for us for anything we needed through this process and beyond. Their professionalism, understanding flexibility, kindness and compassion will always be remembered and appreciated. Some of my family have had to navigate this process before and expressed that our experience has exceded any and all expectations going in...others just can not compete with Harrigan Parkside.
Karen McLean
The professionalism and kindness shown to me for my "pre-planning" by Andrew has been so comforting and positive. Harrigan Parkside personnel went out of their way to answer every question I had and to assist me in my final decisions. I find comfort knowing my family will not have the burden to make those decisions, not to mention that my arrangements will be completed as I respectfully ask. COMPASSION from Harrigan Parkside is something the staff strives for. THANKS TO EVERYONE AT HARRIGAN PARKSIDE FOR GUIDING ME THROUGH THIS TIME OF GREAT NEED ...GOD'S BLESSINGS
Anthony Posvic
Although it was the most difficult time for our family; Harrigan Parkside provided assurance that every detail was taken care. They even took care of the basics like making sure we had Kleenex and water. They had all the cards/plants and flowers ready to load up after the service . They were always asking if we needed anything or if they could help in any way allowing us to focus on our family as we were going through the grieving process.
Nancy Keil
My review is way overdue, and I apologize for that. Dennis and Andy took care of both of our parents. Our family has always been a little unconventional but they allowed us to have unique and very personal services that were appropriate for each of our parents. They went out of their way to accommodate our wishes thus allowing each family member to grieve and participate however they needed. Death is never easy, and itβs at a time like this when you need caring, compassionate professionals to guide you through the funeral process. I will always recommend Harrigans.
Derrick Hoffman
Andy and Dennis handled the arrangements for my mother's funeral. They made a very difficult week easier to manage by compassionately guiding us through the process. They answered all of our questions and were willing to accommodate our requests. They ensured seamless coordination of the entire service from the funeral home to the church to the burial. Knowing that Andy and Dennis were on top of all the details gave us peace of mind and allowed us to focus on what was really important - grieving the loss of our mother. We cannot thank them enough.
Jacy Robley
Very friendly, kind and compassionate staff here at Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home and Crematory. Andy went above and beyond for my family and we appreciate it in many ways, will always recommend this funeral home!!
Joellyn Lalko
Harrigan Parkside took care of my fatherβs funeral arrangements. They are incredibly compassionate, professional, and personable. They also are reasonably priced and do not try to sell you βextrasβ that you do not need or want. I would highly recommend them.

Right from the start Andy Harrigan made us feel as though we made the right decision to go with Harrigan Parkside when my mother in law passed. They literally took care of everything for us. It was so nice not to have to worry about the details because Andy thought of everything. Highly recommend Harrigan Parkside.

Harrigan Parkside handled the funerary details of my brotherβs passing with sensitivity and graciousness combined with excellent communication. I am particularly grateful to Adam- he made working through this entire process as easy as such an affair can possibly be. I will gladly recommend Harrigan Parkside to my friends, colleagues, and clients in the future. Many, many thanks.
Amber Schalk
Andy and Dennis were great to work with. The life celebration social turned out beautifully. They were available to me anytime through out the entire process, and were very helpful. Even months after the service, I had to call them to get a replacement for a large glass topper on my husband's urn (my daughter and our dog were rough housing and bumped into the shelf, something heavy fell on top of it and it broke). He remembered who I was, and took care of getting a replacement for me. They also understand that people don't always have the funds to pay for their services immediately. Definitely recommend.
Judy Stangel
Harrigan Parkside treated our family with the utmost respect at a time when we were not at our best. Our funeral director, Max, took care of so many details for us! We felt the prices were very reasonable as well.

My words can't even express how great their service was. Of course this is not a service anyone wants to use but if the time comes that you need to use it I encourage you to choose Harrigan Parkside. You will not regret it. Absolutely the best.

In my time working with the folks at Harrigan Parkside, I find that they are excellent at what they do, are compassionate with the families they work with, and have great facilities to accommodate any needs the family has. I would highly recommend using their services.

On one of the hardest days of mine and my families life, every single one of the Harrigan Parkside crew made the day go so smoothly, and made us feel as comfortable and loved as possible. They were so compassionate, and made sure that anything and everything we needed, we had. I consider every single one of the members a part of my family and will hands down recommend them to anybody who needs a place to set their family/friends free, into the eternal hands of God. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. Also a shout out to a long time friend, Max Wagner, who went out of his way to send me my grandpaβs obituary and card, and kept in touch with me throughout my grieving process.

We cannot recommend highly enough the service, professionalism, and compassion that Harrigan Parkside provides to families. My husband and I worked with Andy in arranging services for our daughter's burial. At our first meeting he told us he would handle everything for our daughter as if she was his own, and he truly did. He treated us as family, and we will forever grateful for the generosity and kindness that he showed us as we navigated an unexpected loss. He made sure that our needs were met and questions answered, and checked in on us weeks after our daughter's burial to see how we were doing and if he could do anything for us. We were blown away by the support we received from Andy. He & the staff at Harrigan Parkside are truly an asset to the Lakeshore Community.

If I could give 100 stars I would!! I honestly cannot say enough good things about this funeral home, and the amazing people that work here. My husband passed away unexpectedly last month, and the last thing that I wanted to do was plan his funeral. I thought that it was going to be stressful, and scary, and SO hard to do..but in reality, it was the complete opposite. The minute we walked through that door, we felt like family. We had Max as our funeral director, and I could not be more grateful for this man. He was so kind, so genuine, so humble, and so compassionate throughout this whole process. He went above and beyond, and exceeded ANY expectations that we had. Everything turned out BEAUTIFUL..and we left this place, feeling like we made a friend.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, kindness, guidance and support during this very difficult time. We cannot thank you enough!
Wendy Brooks
Andy at Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home did an amazing job for our family. He was professional and compassionate, and felt he trulely cared about our family. The home itself is was beautiful. Andy made sure there were no hidden costs, and that we understood everything. He went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home!
Curt & Sue Jahn
This was the first time that I have had to plan a funeral. Fortunately, my mother preplanned her funeral with Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home, so that made it so much easier for me. Andrew was so kind, helpful, and understanding. He reviewed what my mother had already planned, and I provided some wishes that my mother had shared with me before she went to Heaven. Andrew also provided some options for me to consider, as well as what is customary, and what are best practices. He answered all of my questions. Max was awesome, and was so helpful, professional and personable, guiding us through the day of the funeral and taking care of so many details, so that I (and my family) didn't have to concern ourselves with. Thank you so much for making my mom's funeral memorable and so nice.Susan Jahn
Kari Meinnert
Harrigan was so very compassionate and helpful when my sister passed away. Adam went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable with every step of the process. Pete was polite when I picked up the cremation. Even during a follow up call Andy asked if there was anything more they could do. For never having to have had to deal with a funeral home. They made it all so comforting for my family and me. I canβt say enough. Thank you .
Martha Price
Recently we lost my Mom. Before she passed she chose to do pre-planning at Harrigan Parkside. They treated her so well, and helped her to choose exactly what she wanted. When the unfortunate time of her passing came, they were absolutely AMAZING! They helped us put the final touches on moms plans, made sure we were at peace with everything and were well taken care of before, during and after her funeral. I am forever thankful to them for helping us during this difficult time.
paulette vogt
It was a great pleasure to work with Andy and his father Dennis. Everything that we needed to do was planned very well with no problems. Both men made sure we were taken care of and if we needed anything to just give them a call. They took care of everything. I was very happy with all of the work we did with them.
Diane Streubel
Losing a loved one is always difficult. Harrigan Parkside was outstanding in their professionalism, making it as easy as possible with the decisions and arrangements. They made us feel like we mattered. Listening to our every need and providing guidance and assistance throughout the entire process.

Cathie Kohlman
Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home was a real Godsend for our family. They helped our parents with pre-arrangements for their funerals and recently helped us through the unexpected death of our mother and two months later with the passing of our father. Their help ahead of time, coupled with their compassion and caring, assured our parents received the Celebration of Life they deserved. We want to thank the whole Harrigan team for helping us through this most difficult time.
Tina Busse
Dennis, Andrew and their staff were wonderful and supportive helping our family during our difficult time. Professional and so compassionate while helping us make the right decisions. My family has always relied on Harrigan Parkside and we will continue to count on them to be there for us in the future.
darci LaChappelle
Update....Over 1 year later, Andy and everyone at Harrigan Parkside still providing caring and exceptional experience. When they say "we are here if you need anything, let me know if there is anything we can do"....they mean it. Went back to order additional keepsake urn, and was treated as though it was just yesterday that they were there for us helping us navigate through the most difficult process. Again, no one can compete with Harrigan Parkside! Thank you!We are beyond pleased that we chose Harrigan Parkside to help us through this difficult process. From the 1st phone call, we knew they had our best interest in mind. They made sure to explain and cover all aspects and options to be sure that we did not miss any important details. They were there for us for anything we needed through this process and beyond. Their professionalism, understanding flexibility, kindness and compassion will always be remembered and appreciated. Some of my family have had to navigate this process before and expressed that our experience has exceded any and all expectations going in...others just can not compete with Harrigan Parkside.
Karen McLean
The professionalism and kindness shown to me for my "pre-planning" by Andrew has been so comforting and positive. Harrigan Parkside personnel went out of their way to answer every question I had and to assist me in my final decisions. I find comfort knowing my family will not have the burden to make those decisions, not to mention that my arrangements will be completed as I respectfully ask. COMPASSION from Harrigan Parkside is something the staff strives for. THANKS TO EVERYONE AT HARRIGAN PARKSIDE FOR GUIDING ME THROUGH THIS TIME OF GREAT NEED ...GOD'S BLESSINGS
Anthony Posvic
Although it was the most difficult time for our family; Harrigan Parkside provided assurance that every detail was taken care. They even took care of the basics like making sure we had Kleenex and water. They had all the cards/plants and flowers ready to load up after the service . They were always asking if we needed anything or if they could help in any way allowing us to focus on our family as we were going through the grieving process.
Nancy Keil
My review is way overdue, and I apologize for that. Dennis and Andy took care of both of our parents. Our family has always been a little unconventional but they allowed us to have unique and very personal services that were appropriate for each of our parents. They went out of their way to accommodate our wishes thus allowing each family member to grieve and participate however they needed. Death is never easy, and itβs at a time like this when you need caring, compassionate professionals to guide you through the funeral process. I will always recommend Harrigans.
Derrick Hoffman
Andy and Dennis handled the arrangements for my mother's funeral. They made a very difficult week easier to manage by compassionately guiding us through the process. They answered all of our questions and were willing to accommodate our requests. They ensured seamless coordination of the entire service from the funeral home to the church to the burial. Knowing that Andy and Dennis were on top of all the details gave us peace of mind and allowed us to focus on what was really important - grieving the loss of our mother. We cannot thank them enough.
Jacy Robley
Very friendly, kind and compassionate staff here at Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home and Crematory. Andy went above and beyond for my family and we appreciate it in many ways, will always recommend this funeral home!!

Harrigan Parkside took care of my fatherβs funeral arrangements. They are incredibly compassionate, professional, and personable. They also are reasonably priced and do not try to sell you βextrasβ that you do not need or want. I would highly recommend them.
kschweigl
Right from the start Andy Harrigan made us feel as though we made the right decision to go with Harrigan Parkside when my mother in law passed. They literally took care of everything for us. It was so nice not to have to worry about the details because Andy thought of everything. Highly recommend Harrigan Parkside.
Thomas Donnermeyer
Very professional they go out of there way for you.

Andrew sat and talked to us about every detail.

Pat Geigel
Dennis Harrigan has guided us through multiple family funeral services. The Last week in January 2025, Dennis met with the family multiple times to plan the visitation, funeral, burial and reception for Dad. Mr. Harrigan navigated the entire process, troubleshooting family dynamics while honoring the wishes of Dad and his children. Dennis's knowledge, experience, professionalism and courtesy provide the cornerstones for his OUTSTANDING service to pay tribute to loved ones. Thank you, Dennis and the entire Harrigan Parkside Staff!
