Our father Armin Kuehl was the previous owner of Kuehl Funeral Home, now Legacy Funeral Chapel. When our mother died we all met the funeral director and our family was impressed. His dedication, knowledge, and thoughtfulness to our wishes were heard. The funeral home could not have done anything better and we were so pleased. They also understood what Armin’s wishes were for his own funeral. We trusted Legacy and his decisions and were really impressed with our father’s funeral and military service. They made the sad experience of losing both parents in sixteen months into a wonderful celebration of their Legacy!

The experience that myself and my family had with Legacy Funeral Chapel in Gillett was exceptional. The funeral home and its staff were compassionate, helpful and extremely thorough. From the initial contact with Legacy to the ceremony at the grave site, the customer service was wonderful. Nices touches- such as coffee, cookies, cake, crackers, and cheese at the viewing- were unexpected and very welcome by all.
