My family and I were extremely happy with the services we received at the passing of my husband, Bob Saxe. I felt Mike went above and beyond what was expected. He reported all the necessary information to Social Security, ordered death certificates, and took care of arranging everything for the Military Service at the Mausoleum.

Brandon handled planning services for my mother. His helpfulness, keeping in touch and goodwill toward my consideration of what to do provided relief during a difficult time. I know he and his team were very busy assisting other families but during the entire process, I felt like I was the only one they were helping. Thank you, Hulke Family Funeral Home and staff.

Barb Hood, daughter of Mary Barry

We just wanted to make sure you were thanked for all of your help, compassion, and professionalism. After the passing of our loved one we couldn't have asked for better service from Brandon, The Hulke Family, and staff. Everything was seamless and couldn't have gone any smoother! Thanks again for everything.

I can’t begin to say thank you enough for the assistance of the staff of Hulke Family funeral home. At a time when my family was grieving and overwhelmed Mike and his staff took away all anxiety. Right from beginning and throughout the process Mike took care of everything! It became quite evident that Mike has done this for several years. Not only did Mike handle all of our concerns but he also addressed issues we had not thought of. At a time when a person could feel so vulnerable the professionalism, empathy and experience of Hulke family funeral home was able to comfort us in all of our concerns. I would highly recommend them and would use them again in the future without any hesitation.

Family of George Anderson

We would like to express our gratitude to the Hulke Family Funeral Home for the guidance and compassion bestowed upon our family throughout the funeral arrangement process for our mother, Janet S Falconer. Every aspect was handled with professionalism and thoughtfulness and the service was beautiful, just as mom would have wanted. Jake has such a giving heart and gentle manner, he made us feel comfortable and assisted us every step of the way. Jake, we appreciate you! We would recommend Hulke Family Funeral Home to help your family in the loss of a loved one. God Bless you all.

To Mike and his staff,
We would like to thank Mike and his staff for their compassion and professionalism handing our brother/ brother-in-law Eric’s funeral. Mike was very understanding and accommodating during this time. Eric was a well-known local musician and Mike was very open to playing his music in the background during the visitation. It added a very personal touch to the service. Mike and his staff made a sad and tragic event endurable. We recommend Hulke Family Funeral Homes to families in their time of sorrow. Mike, we thank you again,
Sincerely,

Thank you so much for your help and guidance after my wife passed away. On the day that Linda passed away you remembered who I was and the recent funerals that you helped us with. Your words of comfort and information you shared helped me to get Linda home to be buried. You and your staff have helped our family over the past 32 years. I would highly recommend your services to anybody who is in need of guidance in those dark hours after a loved one has passed. Thank you!

Thank you so much for all you did when my mom passed away. You were very professional, yet compassionate. When I lost control of my emotions, you gently steered me back on the path so we could "get the job done." I hope you have a long and prosperous life in Eau Claire.

Mike, I want to thank you for all the professionalism, love and caring you showed during the handling of my Mother's funeral (Joyce H. Brenizer) You could say that is what you do, but I know better. People can say that I am a banker and that I get compensated to provide financial services to my clients, too But you do more than plan and execute funerals and help people walk through hours of endless details when their minds are fogged over with grief and emotion. You gave us all a gentle psychological hug and your respect for the finite details that mattered the most and to others would have seemed so trivial................like the dark nail polish that was my Mother's hallmark color. How you keep from burning out is only a miracle. You are truly a unique guy and the world is lucky having you do what you do.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for making her look like the beautiful classey lady that she always was on her last big day so she could go dancing with my Dad looking like a princess.

Good Morning Mike:
Just a note to thank you for the very professional funeral for my Father. Like my Mother's, we had many good comments about your organization. I know my brothers share in my thoughts.

Best Regards:

Just wanted to write and let you know how much Fuller Funeral home has helped our family out at such a difficult time. Starting in 1984, E Edna Radandt's (my Grandmother) death, then 1989 Edna L Radandt's (my Mom) death, then 1994 Henry F Radandt's (my Grandfather) death and now my Dad's death, Henry L "Hank" Radandt on 9/14/2007 Fuller Speckien has been there. Starting with people like Richard Keepers and on up the "ladder" with Jerry Speckien and now Mike Hulke, Fuller Funeral Home is a true Class Act. Each of You have the compassion and honest caring that families need in their time of sorrow and grief. I wanted to let you know how much it meant to me and Hank's entire family.

Sincerely,

Mike and Staff,

As I now have had a chance to look over my e-mails I find that my cousin in California forwarded me your site and Bill's obituary. I do appreciate that gesture far more than he will ever know.

We want to thank you for the most caring, gracious, kind manner that you guided us through this time of loss and your patience and understanding even when, especially myself, unable to think very well. The picture of Bill, which took my breath away when I first saw it, will always be dear to my heart and the video, which touched all who had a chance to see it. Please thank that individual that composed this so personally and so perfect in every way.

Thank you for all the extra thoughtfulness which I haven't even mentioned and again the kindness and graciousness to all of our family. So many said that they had a peace after being there and that adds to the wonderful memories to help comfort.

God bless you all,

I can not tell you how much Josh and I appreciate everything that you did to help us make Myles' memorial the perfect tribute to him! All of the special touches you did to help us honor our little guy, such as the memorial DVD and memory portrait, were above and beyond anything we expected! I watch the memorial DVD often and am so grateful that you made it for us. The memory portrait is sitting on a display easel on top of our armoire in the living room where we can admire it often. I can not tell you how special it is to us! Your kindness, compassion, patience, and understanding helped guide us through the most difficult experience of our life. Thank you for treating us as if we were members of your own family!

As difficult as the loss of my grandmother has been, it was very comforting having your support through this process. You are a very compassionate and empathetic person, and on behalf of my entire family, we so appreciate all of your hard work and special details that helped bring some joy and happiness into our lives during this time of loss and grief that we’re experiencing.


Thanks again, Mike.

Mike and Kari,

Our family wants to thank you for your excellent service for our brother. Letting Mom come early to view him meant a lot to us. We appreciated your deep concern for our family. You made us feel so comfortable. We will miss Al "Rip" but will have good memories and know he is resting in peace.

Thank you for all that you have done for my family during the planning and holding of dad's funeral and beyond. Your kind heart and gentle soul shines through all of the grief and sadness you deal with. As I told you, you are definitely working in a field you are gifted at. You made all of the tough decisions easy and everything went so smoothly.

May God Bless You and your new family richly.

My sister and I would like to thank you for the kindness and sympathy you extended to us after the loss of our brother, Mark. It was such a shock for both of us and even now, there are times when it is hard to believe he is gone. We appreciate all you did to make sure our wishes were carried out and for handling, with tact and efficiency some of the small obstacles that presented themselves. You are a perfect fit for the profession you have chosen. Please extend our appreciation to the rest of the staff.

Sincerely,

Dear Mike,

I would never make it as a Hallmark verse writer but here goes:

I am having trouble coming up with the words to express how grateful I am for all of your help during this time. Your guidance through the process of vault, casket and flowers was most welcome. My Mom looked beautiful.....just like she was peacefully sleeping. Your calm demeanor, patience, and kindness spill over on to those that you are helping and make the entire ordeal a whole lot easier to cope with. I know that it is your job but you go above and beyond what is expected of you. You were always just a step away and seemed to anticipate anything and everything, which was truly a comfort. I can't sing either, but if I could, I would sing your praises loud and clear!!!

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. It is sort of strange to say but I hope that I don't have to see you again for quite a while.....but if I do, I will know that you are as much of a comfort to that family as you were to mine.

Sincerely,

Dear Mike,

I just wanted to thank you and your team for all your help with the events surrounding my husbands' passing. Your professionalism was exceptional yet the thoughtfulness, concern, and caring that went into each and every decision was evidence of your sensitivity to peoples' needs during such difficult times. You are clearly the best at what you do, and I can't thank you enough.

Sincerely,

Dear Mike,

Thank you so much for taking care of all the funeral arrangements for Don. Your professionalism and sympathy were greatly appreciated.

With gratitude,

It is with great pleasure that I recommend the services of the Fuller-Speckien-Hulke Funeral Home. During the recent death of my Mother, I was extremely pleased with the kind, thoughtful and sincere compassion Mr. Hulke displayed to my family. Since I live away from the area, it was indeed a tremendous comfort to have him lead us through the various options available regarding the funeral. Once decisions were made, the Fuller-Speckien-Hulke took care of all details. My many thanks to them for such fine service.

I wanted to say thank you for the handling my Dad's (Wayne Devery) whole funeral the way you did. From the day we needed your services, to the day of his burial, You helped our family get through our most difficult time with your professionalism, organization, support, respect, ect. Thank you for guiding us through the whole experience with ease, which helped us to concentrate on our own grieving process without having to worry about what to do next. I know this is your job, but you made us feel like we were not just another client. You answered all my questions and allowed me to ask about things in detail that I needed to know! Thanks again!

Dear Mr. Hulke,

The family of Ellen Bammel extends our sincere appreciation to you for assisting us with her funeral arrangements. The compassion and respect you showed for Ellen's life, in her death, was of great comfort to us. Ellen looked beautiful and very peaceful during our visitation at the church, and Steve Johnson of Holly Funeral Home complimented your work.

Greetings, I am writing to tell you what a blessing you all were to my husband and I at Gordon Miller's funeral service. Even before the incident of the car keys, We noticed how friendly and helpful you were as we arrived a few minutes late, and then how quick you were to take care of our keys locked in our car. My husband and I couldn't believe when you came to give him the keys. It all worked out so smoothly. We shall never forget it and thank the Lord for such kind and helpful people.

Many Thanks to all,

Mike,

Thank you so much for all your help and compassion during a terrible time in our lives, especially Phil and Penny's lives! You were great! You are in the right business!

Forever Grateful,

Larry and Myra Nusbaum

We would like to extend our gratitude to the staff at Fuller Speckien Hulke for turning the mourning of Howard's loss into a celebration of his life. It was a beautiful service from start to finish. The compassion and professionalism was greatly appreciated by all.

With Much Appreciation,

Thank you for all of your service and for taking such good care of us. Your kindess and thoughtful attention to details truly helped us all. Please know how much it was appreciated. Thank you, again!

Thank you again Mike for all you and the staff did with taking care of the many details associated with dad's passing. It meant a great deal to know your compassionate spirit was there at every turn. You are definitely in the right profession. Thanks again from all eight of us!

Family of George Allen Thiess

Your staff is to be commended for its' 'professionalism' for making Dad's ceremony so 'comforting' to me and my family members.

I wanted to say thank you for the wonderful job you have done with helping us with EVERYTHING. The funeral was beautiful with all her pink roses, the video was moving beyond words, I personally can not thank you enough for that and I know my family feels the same. You have done a fantastic job in our time of need. Many thanks to you.

Miranda Onarheim

Granddaughter of Joyce Peterson

Dear Mike (and Family)

My family was extremely impressed with your management of the arrangements for mother and how you were able to accommodate all our desires given the short time frame. We were surprised and pleased with how many persons were in attendance to support us and the way in which you unobtrusively met the needs of the growing group.

Personally, I appreciated all the help you gave me, beginning five years ago when you checked to make certain that there was room for mother next to my dad. You made it possible for mother's overall plan to come to fruition. Further, I am grateful that you were able to meet with us on Sunday evening and allowed us to meet with Pastor David at your facility. He was a perfect choice for our family; we really liked him and were pleased with his manner as he presided at the service and burial.

Thank you for making this experience, which could have been a trying one given the distance, transpire so smoothly.

Sincerely,

Sharon R. Wittren

(Daughter of Georgia Ione Murray)

Mike,

The family of Irene MacKany would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you and your staff for the compassionate way you handled our mother's funeral. We were impressed with your attention to detail and the respect you showed our mother and our family. It gave us great comfort to see mom looking so beautiful from her hair to her nails. Thank you for your guidance in planning the ceremony and making all the necessary arrangements. We appreciate your sensitivity and thoughtfulness.

We will be forever grateful,

Marian Olson

Dear Mike,

Our family was very pleased with all the arrangements and other services you and your staff performed. You and the other staff members were efficient, attentive, kind and considerate.

Thank you

Bob Fink

Mike, Kari, & Staff,

I would like to extend my heartfelt thank you for your compassionate guidance in handling the arrangements for Aunt Florence. She looked so pretty-from her hair to her nails- in her favorite blue dress. The arrangement with the red roses and baby's breath was absolutely beautiful.

Your compassion, kindness, and thoughtfulness in my time(s) of need (especially with Matthew and Gerry) will always be appreciated!

Have a great summer and best wishes.

Karen

When my grandfather passed away, we turned to Fuller-Speckien-Hulke Funeral Home for his arrangements, which included a family visitation at the funeral home and memorial Mass to celebrate his life. I am blown away by the professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and compassionate services provided to us by Fuller-Speckien-Hulke. They took care of paperwork following his death, his cremation, flowers, display pictures, a memorial video, Mass planning, obituary publication, and everything in-between. We barely had to lift a finger during the whole process. Specifically, we worked one-on-one with Mike Hulke for many of the arrangements and he was my go-to guy for all questions, concerns, or problems that we faced during the planning of my grandfather's services. My only regret is that I did not invite him to take a plate of food at the funeral luncheon. I believe my grandfather, now in heaven, was honored by the professional care Fuller-Speckien-Hulke Funeral Home provided my family. I give them a high commendation and recommendation for their outstanding service to my family.

-Alex Bates, Jerry Jacques' Grandson

Mike,

Thank you and your staff for everything you did for our family. We are so appreciative of all you did to help us honor and memorialize our mom. We will be happy to offer any testimonials about the exemplary customer service and compassion you and your team extended to all of us! Every detail was tended to, from the memorial video, the yellow rose on the announcements, to your guidance of the family and even the Kleenex in the pews at church, so awesome.

Thanks much,

Lynne

(Patricia Devney family)

Mike & your kind team,

Thank you all so much for every ounce of kindness and respect shown for our father's funeral. It made a very difficult time for us a little easier. Thank you for what you do.

With kind regards,

Christy Parson, Josh & Erin Books, Mark & Heather Books, and David Hudrlik & Jennifer Books

Dear Mike and Kari,

I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful job with Mom's funeral. Your professional yet caring services were very much appreciated. It was very comforting to have you there to help us through this difficult time. I am so glad we did the pre payment option! It made it so much easier when the time came. I know Mom would have been pleased! Thank you!

The Lucille Weir-Furrer family

Mike:

Thank you for all your help and guidance in handling the pre-planning of our mother's funeral and for the excellent care and follow-through upon her passing.

Your kindness and flexibility were surpassed only by your professionalism; you knew what questions to answer before we asked them and your handling of all the arrangements, red tape and paperwork was greatly appreciated.

Thanks to your staff and you in particular our time of sadness was made just a little bit brighter and easier.

Sincere Thanks,

With our many thanks and appreciation to the Fuller Speckien Hulke Funeral Home.

The family of Bev Erickson would like to show their sincere gratitude to Mike Hulke, owner/funeral director and his entire staff for showing us compassion, kindness, friendliness, and treating us like part of their family during the planning of funeral arrangements for our Mom. Mike's sincere concerns-he made sure all our arrangements and wishes came true-of what we wanted for our Mom, Grandma, and Great-Grandma, for everything of our Mom's preplanned arrangements and her wishes, were granted. During all this sad time of Mom's passing, it was great comfort to know how Blessed we were to be in the hands of such a wonderful funeral home!

May the Lord Jesus and God Keep You All In Their Care! Our Love and Thanks from the Family of Bev Erickson.

Mike and Brandon,

I am Larry Gibson's daughter. I wanted to thank you for the service you provided. It truly felt like you guys took care of every detail for us-big and small. You were both compassionate and professional and seemed to take the worries out of the details. One of you was there at every turn and seemed to even anticipate our needs (bottled water during visitation, etc.) You managed us and the crowd very well and coordinated with Pastor Graham on each part of the process.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! May you be blessed, as we were blessed by your exceptional work!

Sincerely, Connie

My family has done business with Fuller-Speckien-Hulke Funeral Home for decades. The service, professionalism and and compassion is outstanding and, quite honestly, hard to beat. We truly appreciatethe way they have handled many funerals for friends and family. They handle the families experiencing the natural grief process with dignity and respect, which we really appreciate. This last funeral that we are in the midst of coordinating has been so challenging and Mike and his team have gone over and above the call of duty to serve my family to help make this time less stressful. On behalf of the Toy and Gould families, I thank you! May the Lord richly bless the work you do. Family of Dana Kratochvil.

Our family was extremely happy with their professionalism and kindnesses during such a difficult time in our lives. We will be forever grateful for their incredible service.

Mike,

Thank you again for operating such an awesome funeral home. The quality of service has not changed one bit in 6 years. You took wonderful care of Mom and turned her back into Mom - She looked just like herself. You make one of the most difficult situations in life somehow bearable. Your prescence is empathetic and calming. You take care of everything so quickly - it just flows. You disappear and then you reappear just at the perfect moment in time. Thank you Mike and Sawyer so much. You are both special people.

Dear Kari, Mike, and Brandon,

My family and I are sincerely grateful for the way you carried us through Bill's funeral. Your attention to details, time, and your professionalism kept us on track even though our hearts were hurting.

Bill often used used the phrase "this needs to be done decently and in order." You folks summed up that phrase for Bill in the way you allowed him to keep his dignity even in death. I truly thank you for that.

I think that the Bible verse below says it beautifully. You perform your service so well.

God Bless.

Love in Jesus,

Vonnie

"This service that you perform is...overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God."

II Corinthians 9:12 NIV

Brandon,

Thank you for directing the funeral for Lucille Greenwood. We were all pleased as to how everything fell into place.

You did great!!!

Thank you.

To the staff at Fuller Speckien Hulke,

I would just like to say thank you for your kindness and caring during this "ordeal" you people couldn't possibly have been any nicer. You really did go the extra distance. Brandon was a God send on Saturday. God Bless you for doing what you do every day for families just like mine.

With a grateful heart,

Mary Kern

We were so blessed and proud to have you taking care of our Mom! You all have a true gift and it shows in the care you took with Mom and the family!

Thank you so much for your compassion and professionalism in handling my father’s funeral and burial arrangements. We chose Fuller-Speckien-Hulke because of your wonderful reputation. You certainly lived up to it. You guided us through all decisions that needed to be made and took care of every detail for us. It made a very sad time in our lives so much easier to get through. Again, please accept our sincere thanks.

Dear Mr. Hulke,

Thank you again for all of the services you provided for mom's funeral. From start to fiish everything was so professional. You thought of everything so we could concentrate on family. Thank you again.

-Brandon & Family-

Thank you again for everything you did to ease our pain when Earl died. I am so very appreciatetive.

Sincerely,

Dear Karolyn, Michael, and Brandon,

Thank you for your kindness and assistance in the arrangements for the funeral and memorial service for my brother, John, and for the manner in which you carried out all of the associated deatails.

In particular, I greatly appeciated Brandon's professionalism, knowledge and competence throughout the process. I appreciated his preceptiveness and ability to recognize, understand and guage out particular circumstances, and to help us in planning a funeral and memorial service that perfectly suited our needs and desires. He and Dick perfectly looked after every detail at the church, cemetery and resturant, discreetly and completely. Compliments to them both for their professionalism and their sensitivity.

You all worked together in a wonderful way to assist us in this difficult time.

Thank You,

Sincerely,

Jim Beyreis

We had my mom's funeral today. I cannot express enough
how pleased we were with the compassionate, professional services we were
given. Brandon, Jared, Jim, and Mike were so nice to work with. They
answered questions before we could think of them. Although none of us wants
to plan a funeral, it is a reality, and I cannot imagine a better crew to
work with. Thank you gentlemen, you made a very tough week so much easier.

Dear Brandon, Kari, and Mike,

Thank you so much for making this difficult time go smoothly for us. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting and service for Mom. She would have been overwhelmed by how many people came and "simply" beautiful things were.

Thanks again,

Nancy Molde & Family

Brandon,

Thanks so much for all you did for us, and for Mom. Your gentle humor and kindness helped us get through this difficult time.

Thanks again on behalf of the rest of the family.

-Wanda Wahl

Brandon and Family,

Thank you so very much for all you have done for our family. Your kindness and professionalism is first class and I can't tell you what that means to us during this emotional time. I will definitely pass on the good word for you and your services.

Respectfully,

Michelle Moltzau

Mike,

Just wanted to tell you what a great job you did with my sister's funeral.
You made something so unpleasant as pleasant as possible. You paid attention to every detail and that made all the difference. I will recommend you to all my friends. I just loved Brandon too. He is so Compassionate and thoughtful.

Again thank you for everything.

See you at Peace!

To the staff -- I was in Eau Claire this past week for the visitiation and funeral of my sister, Audrey Brumberg. I am writing to express my sincere appreciation of the exceptional service provided by your organization. All arrangements were done with great attention to detail. Everyone on your staff acted with compassion, kindness, and efficiency. With inclement weather and poor street conditions, extra precautions and attention was given to the safety and comfort of all attendees. Your competence and professionalism along with great personal attention made it an occasion free of anxiety.

In gratitude, Barbara Karlan

Brandon, Mike, Kari, and the Entire Staff,

Thank you from our family for the extraordinary service and compassion we received at the time of Bernie's passing. It will be remembered always!

Sincerely,

Bernadine "Bernie" Klimek Family

Just wanted to send you a note of thanks for the manner in which you and your family handled my fathers's final arrangements. Everything was handled with dignity and warmth. I want to especially thank Brandon for being so kind and considerate throughout the service and burial. Please pass along our appreciation to him.

Dear Brandon-

You have been such a great helper through all of this! I thank God for you!

Your calmness, patience, assurance, respect for memories, concerns & sincereity are all such great qualities--and, you display them with a loving heart. You are very good at your job!

Thank you for being so good to me--and to Merv and to all those that love him!

-Linda LaFracis and The friends and family of Merv Berens.

P.S Thanks from Merv, too

To the Hulke Family~

Thank you so much for the care and compassion you showed my father and us. Brandon is in the right profession-he was understanding, available and knowledgeable. He kept us updated on the progress of the remodel and as promised the facility was beautiful! Everyone commented on the comfortable environment. Thanks for letting us be your trial run!!!



God Bless your family.

Becky & Joel Kiekbusch

I wanted to let you know Hulke Family, that you are so appreciated. Everything was perfect. Mom looked amazing. You are kind, sensitive, caring people that will never be forgotten. Every little "gentle" detail was done with our families welfare in mind. Thank you so very much!

Hulke Family,


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping our family after Mom's death. Her untimely death brought about a lot of sorrow and stress, and your assistance made this time for our family go as well as humanely possible. We were amazed that after just one meeting, all of the little details were taken care of. We are beyond thankful that your family is in this business. Your service, compassion, integrity, communication, and care for the little details allow the family to focus on the important things after a death, not on the stress of planning and executing a service. All of you touched our lives in a special way because of how you do business, and we could not be more grateful.


We thank God for your family.

Mike-

Rick and I want to thank you again for all your help and support for both Dorothy's funeral last June, and for Bob's last week. We appreciate that you listened, empathized, and responded to our needs. The suggestions and quiet guidance we received from you about all aspects of both funerals made the process of planning the services so uncomplicated. It was a big relief. We did not have to be concerned about any of the details; you and your family took care of everything.

It is very comforting to look back on all of it and know that Rick's parents were remembered and celebrated in such a beautiful way.

Thank you again,

Rick and Gretchen Herdrich

I am so pleased that I chose Hulke Family Funeral Home to handle all arrangements for my wife, Barb's funeral. Garrett Hulke and his staff were extremely professional, but beyond that, they were most personal and comforting during the entire time. It was an honor and privilege to go through this difficult time with Garrett, a fellow believer in Christ. My family and I have nothing but the highest praise for the Hulke family.

Hulke Family Funeral Home came highly recommended to us and met those high expectations. The care and professionalism we were shown during a difficult time was exceptional. They handled all the details behind the scenes and everything went off flawlessly. It made it so easy for us to focus on the celebration of our Dad's life. We are eternally grateful, especially to Garrett for his support.

The family of Mary Schopper, who passed in February, 2020, wishes to express
their gratitude and respect for the kind and professional care they received
from the Hulke Family Funeral Home. We had excellent service from the first
meeting to the last detail. We are very grateful.

Very pleased to have worked with Hulke Family Funeral Home. Mike was prompt, professional, and caring, and I truly felt as though he went above and beyond for our family. Thank you for helping us navigate through these difficult circumstances and peacefully find closure for our loved one.

Mike,
Thank you so much for taking great care of our family as we celebrated the life of Joanne Velie this past Friday.
You and your team went out of your way to answer every single question and meet each request down to the smallest detail.
We so appreciated your fresh, welcoming facilities.
On behalf of the entire Velie family, thank you for being so kind and caring from start to finish!

Mike and Garrett were the main points of contact for my father's funeral last month. Caring, professional and transparent through the entire process. My father was treated with respect and dignity.

With gratitude,

The Noel Cisneros Family

Thank you so much for all you did when my mom passed away. You were very professional, yet compassionate. When I lost control of my emotions, you gently steered me back on the path so we could "get the job done." I hope you have a long and prosperous life in Eau Claire.

Mike, I want to thank you for all the professionalism, love and caring you showed during the handling of my Mother's funeral (Joyce H. Brenizer) You could say that is what you do, but I know better. People can say that I am a banker and that I get compensated to provide financial services to my clients, too But you do more than plan and execute funerals and help people walk through hours of endless details when their minds are fogged over with grief and emotion. You gave us all a gentle psychological hug and your respect for the finite details that mattered the most and to others would have seemed so trivial................like the dark nail polish that was my Mother's hallmark color. How you keep from burning out is only a miracle. You are truly a unique guy and the world is lucky having you do what you do.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for making her look like the beautiful classey lady that she always was on her last big day so she could go dancing with my Dad looking like a princess.

Good Morning Mike:
Just a note to thank you for the very professional funeral for my Father. Like my Mother's, we had many good comments about your organization. I know my brothers share in my thoughts.

Best Regards:

Just wanted to write and let you know how much Fuller Funeral home has helped our family out at such a difficult time. Starting in 1984, E Edna Radandt's (my Grandmother) death, then 1989 Edna L Radandt's (my Mom) death, then 1994 Henry F Radandt's (my Grandfather) death and now my Dad's death, Henry L "Hank" Radandt on 9/14/2007 Fuller Speckien has been there. Starting with people like Richard Keepers and on up the "ladder" with Jerry Speckien and now Mike Hulke, Fuller Funeral Home is a true Class Act. Each of You have the compassion and honest caring that families need in their time of sorrow and grief. I wanted to let you know how much it meant to me and Hank's entire family.

Sincerely,

Mike and Staff,

As I now have had a chance to look over my e-mails I find that my cousin in California forwarded me your site and Bill's obituary. I do appreciate that gesture far more than he will ever know.

We want to thank you for the most caring, gracious, kind manner that you guided us through this time of loss and your patience and understanding even when, especially myself, unable to think very well. The picture of Bill, which took my breath away when I first saw it, will always be dear to my heart and the video, which touched all who had a chance to see it. Please thank that individual that composed this so personally and so perfect in every way.

Thank you for all the extra thoughtfulness which I haven't even mentioned and again the kindness and graciousness to all of our family. So many said that they had a peace after being there and that adds to the wonderful memories to help comfort.

God bless you all,

I can not tell you how much Josh and I appreciate everything that you did to help us make Myles' memorial the perfect tribute to him! All of the special touches you did to help us honor our little guy, such as the memorial DVD and memory portrait, were above and beyond anything we expected! I watch the memorial DVD often and am so grateful that you made it for us. The memory portrait is sitting on a display easel on top of our armoire in the living room where we can admire it often. I can not tell you how special it is to us! Your kindness, compassion, patience, and understanding helped guide us through the most difficult experience of our life. Thank you for treating us as if we were members of your own family!

As difficult as the loss of my grandmother has been, it was very comforting having your support through this process. You are a very compassionate and empathetic person, and on behalf of my entire family, we so appreciate all of your hard work and special details that helped bring some joy and happiness into our lives during this time of loss and grief that we’re experiencing.


Thanks again, Mike.

Mike and Kari,

Our family wants to thank you for your excellent service for our brother. Letting Mom come early to view him meant a lot to us. We appreciated your deep concern for our family. You made us feel so comfortable. We will miss Al "Rip" but will have good memories and know he is resting in peace.

Thank you for all that you have done for my family during the planning and holding of dad's funeral and beyond. Your kind heart and gentle soul shines through all of the grief and sadness you deal with. As I told you, you are definitely working in a field you are gifted at. You made all of the tough decisions easy and everything went so smoothly.

May God Bless You and your new family richly.

My sister and I would like to thank you for the kindness and sympathy you extended to us after the loss of our brother, Mark. It was such a shock for both of us and even now, there are times when it is hard to believe he is gone. We appreciate all you did to make sure our wishes were carried out and for handling, with tact and efficiency some of the small obstacles that presented themselves. You are a perfect fit for the profession you have chosen. Please extend our appreciation to the rest of the staff.

Sincerely,

Dear Mike,

I would never make it as a Hallmark verse writer but here goes:

I am having trouble coming up with the words to express how grateful I am for all of your help during this time. Your guidance through the process of vault, casket and flowers was most welcome. My Mom looked beautiful.....just like she was peacefully sleeping. Your calm demeanor, patience, and kindness spill over on to those that you are helping and make the entire ordeal a whole lot easier to cope with. I know that it is your job but you go above and beyond what is expected of you. You were always just a step away and seemed to anticipate anything and everything, which was truly a comfort. I can't sing either, but if I could, I would sing your praises loud and clear!!!

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. It is sort of strange to say but I hope that I don't have to see you again for quite a while.....but if I do, I will know that you are as much of a comfort to that family as you were to mine.

Sincerely,

Dear Mike,

I just wanted to thank you and your team for all your help with the events surrounding my husbands' passing. Your professionalism was exceptional yet the thoughtfulness, concern, and caring that went into each and every decision was evidence of your sensitivity to peoples' needs during such difficult times. You are clearly the best at what you do, and I can't thank you enough.

Sincerely,

Dear Mike,

Thank you so much for taking care of all the funeral arrangements for Don. Your professionalism and sympathy were greatly appreciated.

With gratitude,

It is with great pleasure that I recommend the services of the Fuller-Speckien-Hulke Funeral Home. During the recent death of my Mother, I was extremely pleased with the kind, thoughtful and sincere compassion Mr. Hulke displayed to my family. Since I live away from the area, it was indeed a tremendous comfort to have him lead us through the various options available regarding the funeral. Once decisions were made, the Fuller-Speckien-Hulke took care of all details. My many thanks to them for such fine service.

I wanted to say thank you for the handling my Dad's (Wayne Devery) whole funeral the way you did. From the day we needed your services, to the day of his burial, You helped our family get through our most difficult time with your professionalism, organization, support, respect, ect. Thank you for guiding us through the whole experience with ease, which helped us to concentrate on our own grieving process without having to worry about what to do next. I know this is your job, but you made us feel like we were not just another client. You answered all my questions and allowed me to ask about things in detail that I needed to know! Thanks again!

Dear Mr. Hulke,

The family of Ellen Bammel extends our sincere appreciation to you for assisting us with her funeral arrangements. The compassion and respect you showed for Ellen's life, in her death, was of great comfort to us. Ellen looked beautiful and very peaceful during our visitation at the church, and Steve Johnson of Holly Funeral Home complimented your work.

Greetings, I am writing to tell you what a blessing you all were to my husband and I at Gordon Miller's funeral service. Even before the incident of the car keys, We noticed how friendly and helpful you were as we arrived a few minutes late, and then how quick you were to take care of our keys locked in our car. My husband and I couldn't believe when you came to give him the keys. It all worked out so smoothly. We shall never forget it and thank the Lord for such kind and helpful people.

Many Thanks to all,

Mike,

Thank you so much for all your help and compassion during a terrible time in our lives, especially Phil and Penny's lives! You were great! You are in the right business!

Forever Grateful,

Larry and Myra Nusbaum

We would like to extend our gratitude to the staff at Fuller Speckien Hulke for turning the mourning of Howard's loss into a celebration of his life. It was a beautiful service from start to finish. The compassion and professionalism was greatly appreciated by all.

With Much Appreciation,

Thank you for all of your service and for taking such good care of us. Your kindess and thoughtful attention to details truly helped us all. Please know how much it was appreciated. Thank you, again!

Thank you again Mike for all you and the staff did with taking care of the many details associated with dad's passing. It meant a great deal to know your compassionate spirit was there at every turn. You are definitely in the right profession. Thanks again from all eight of us!

Your staff is to be commended for its' 'professionalism' for making Dad's ceremony so 'comforting' to me and my family members.

Best Regards,

I wanted to say thank you for the wonderful job you have done with helping us with EVERYTHING. The funeral was beautiful with all her pink roses, the video was moving beyond words, I personally can not thank you enough for that and I know my family feels the same. You have done a fantastic job in our time of need. Many thanks to you.

Miranda Onarheim

Granddaughter of Joyce Peterson

Dear Mike (and Family)

My family was extremely impressed with your management of the arrangements for mother and how you were able to accommodate all our desires given the short time frame. We were surprised and pleased with how many persons were in attendance to support us and the way in which you unobtrusively met the needs of the growing group.

Personally, I appreciated all the help you gave me, beginning five years ago when you checked to make certain that there was room for mother next to my dad. You made it possible for mother's overall plan to come to fruition. Further, I am grateful that you were able to meet with us on Sunday evening and allowed us to meet with Pastor David at your facility. He was a perfect choice for our family; we really liked him and were pleased with his manner as he presided at the service and burial.

Thank you for making this experience, which could have been a trying one given the distance, transpire so smoothly.

Sincerely,

Sharon R. Wittren

(Daughter of Georgia Ione Murray)

Mike,

The family of Irene MacKany would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you and your staff for the compassionate way you handled our mother's funeral. We were impressed with your attention to detail and the respect you showed our mother and our family. It gave us great comfort to see mom looking so beautiful from her hair to her nails. Thank you for your guidance in planning the ceremony and making all the necessary arrangements. We appreciate your sensitivity and thoughtfulness.

We will be forever grateful,

Marian Olson

Dear Mike,

Our family was very pleased with all the arrangements and other services you and your staff performed. You and the other staff members were efficient, attentive, kind and considerate.

Thank you

Bob Fink

Mike, Kari, & Staff,

I would like to extend my heartfelt thank you for your compassionate guidance in handling the arrangements for Aunt Florence. She looked so pretty-from her hair to her nails- in her favorite blue dress. The arrangement with the red roses and baby's breath was absolutely beautiful.

Your compassion, kindness, and thoughtfulness in my time(s) of need (especially with Matthew and Gerry) will always be appreciated!

Have a great summer and best wishes.

Karen

When my grandfather passed away, we turned to Fuller-Speckien-Hulke Funeral Home for his arrangements, which included a family visitation at the funeral home and memorial Mass to celebrate his life. I am blown away by the professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and compassionate services provided to us by Fuller-Speckien-Hulke. They took care of paperwork following his death, his cremation, flowers, display pictures, a memorial video, Mass planning, obituary publication, and everything in-between. We barely had to lift a finger during the whole process. Specifically, we worked one-on-one with Mike Hulke for many of the arrangements and he was my go-to guy for all questions, concerns, or problems that we faced during the planning of my grandfather's services. My only regret is that I did not invite him to take a plate of food at the funeral luncheon. I believe my grandfather, now in heaven, was honored by the professional care Fuller-Speckien-Hulke Funeral Home provided my family. I give them a high commendation and recommendation for their outstanding service to my family.

-Alex Bates, Jerry Jacques' Grandson

Mike,

Thank you and your staff for everything you did for our family. We are so appreciative of all you did to help us honor and memorialize our mom. We will be happy to offer any testimonials about the exemplary customer service and compassion you and your team extended to all of us! Every detail was tended to, from the memorial video, the yellow rose on the announcements, to your guidance of the family and even the Kleenex in the pews at church, so awesome.

Thanks much,

Lynne

(Patricia Devney family)

Mike & your kind team,

Thank you all so much for every ounce of kindness and respect shown for our father's funeral. It made a very difficult time for us a little easier. Thank you for what you do.

With kind regards,

Christy Parson, Josh & Erin Books, Mark & Heather Books, and David Hudrlik & Jennifer Books

Dear Mike and Kari,

I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful job with Mom's funeral. Your professional yet caring services were very much appreciated. It was very comforting to have you there to help us through this difficult time. I am so glad we did the pre payment option! It made it so much easier when the time came. I know Mom would have been pleased! Thank you!

The Lucille Weir-Furrer family

Mike:

Thank you for all your help and guidance in handling the pre-planning of our mother's funeral and for the excellent care and follow-through upon her passing.

Your kindness and flexibility were surpassed only by your professionalism; you knew what questions to answer before we asked them and your handling of all the arrangements, red tape and paperwork was greatly appreciated.

Thanks to your staff and you in particular our time of sadness was made just a little bit brighter and easier.

Sincere Thanks,

With our many thanks and appreciation to the Fuller Speckien Hulke Funeral Home.

The family of Bev Erickson would like to show their sincere gratitude to Mike Hulke, owner/funeral director and his entire staff for showing us compassion, kindness, friendliness, and treating us like part of their family during the planning of funeral arrangements for our Mom. Mike's sincere concerns-he made sure all our arrangements and wishes came true-of what we wanted for our Mom, Grandma, and Great-Grandma, for everything of our Mom's preplanned arrangements and her wishes, were granted. During all this sad time of Mom's passing, it was great comfort to know how Blessed we were to be in the hands of such a wonderful funeral home!

May the Lord Jesus and God Keep You All In Their Care! Our Love and Thanks from the Family of Bev Erickson.

Mike and Brandon,

I am Larry Gibson's daughter. I wanted to thank you for the service you provided. It truly felt like you guys took care of every detail for us-big and small. You were both compassionate and professional and seemed to take the worries out of the details. One of you was there at every turn and seemed to even anticipate our needs (bottled water during visitation, etc.) You managed us and the crowd very well and coordinated with Pastor Graham on each part of the process.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! May you be blessed, as we were blessed by your exceptional work!

Sincerely, Connie

My family has done business with Fuller-Speckien-Hulke Funeral Home for decades. The service, professionalism and and compassion is outstanding and, quite honestly, hard to beat. We truly appreciatethe way they have handled many funerals for friends and family. They handle the families experiencing the natural grief process with dignity and respect, which we really appreciate. This last funeral that we are in the midst of coordinating has been so challenging and Mike and his team have gone over and above the call of duty to serve my family to help make this time less stressful. On behalf of the Toy and Gould families, I thank you! May the Lord richly bless the work you do. Family of Dana Kratochvil.

Our family was extremely happy with their professionalism and kindnesses during such a difficult time in our lives. We will be forever grateful for their incredible service.

Mike,

Thank you again for operating such an awesome funeral home. The quality of service has not changed one bit in 6 years. You took wonderful care of Mom and turned her back into Mom - She looked just like herself. You make one of the most difficult situations in life somehow bearable. Your prescence is empathetic and calming. You take care of everything so quickly - it just flows. You disappear and then you reappear just at the perfect moment in time. Thank you Mike and Sawyer so much. You are both special people.

Dear Kari, Mike, and Brandon,

My family and I are sincerely grateful for the way you carried us through Bill's funeral. Your attention to details, time, and your professionalism kept us on track even though our hearts were hurting.

Bill often used used the phrase "this needs to be done decently and in order." You folks summed up that phrase for Bill in the way you allowed him to keep his dignity even in death. I truly thank you for that.

I think that the Bible verse below says it beautifully. You perform your service so well.

God Bless.

Love in Jesus,

Vonnie

"This service that you perform is...overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God."

II Corinthians 9:12 NIV

Brandon,

Thank you for directing the funeral for Lucille Greenwood. We were all pleased as to how everything fell into place.

You did great!!!

Thank you.

To the staff at Fuller Speckien Hulke,

I would just like to say thank you for your kindness and caring during this "ordeal" you people couldn't possibly have been any nicer. You really did go the extra distance. Brandon was a God send on Saturday. God Bless you for doing what you do every day for families just like mine.

With a grateful heart,

Mary Kern

We were so blessed and proud to have you taking care of our Mom! You all have a true gift and it shows in the care you took with Mom and the family!

Thank you so much for your compassion and professionalism in handling my father’s funeral and burial arrangements. We chose Fuller-Speckien-Hulke because of your wonderful reputation. You certainly lived up to it. You guided us through all decisions that needed to be made and took care of every detail for us. It made a very sad time in our lives so much easier to get through. Again, please accept our sincere thanks.

Dear Mr. Hulke,

Thank you again for all of the services you provided for mom's funeral. From start to fiish everything was so professional. You thought of everything so we could concentrate on family. Thank you again.

-Brandon & Family-

Thank you again for everything you did to ease our pain when Earl died. I am so very appreciatetive.

Dear Karolyn, Michael, and Brandon,

Thank you for your kindness and assistance in the arrangements for the funeral and memorial service for my brother, John, and for the manner in which you carried out all of the associated deatails.

In particular, I greatly appeciated Brandon's professionalism, knowledge and competence throughout the process. I appreciated his preceptiveness and ability to recognize, understand and guage out particular circumstances, and to help us in planning a funeral and memorial service that perfectly suited our needs and desires. He and Dick perfectly looked after every detail at the church, cemetery and resturant, discreetly and completely. Compliments to them both for their professionalism and their sensitivity.

You all worked together in a wonderful way to assist us in this difficult time.

Thank You,

Sincerely,

Jim Beyreis

We had my mom's funeral today. I cannot express enough
how pleased we were with the compassionate, professional services we were
given. Brandon, Jared, Jim, and Mike were so nice to work with. They
answered questions before we could think of them. Although none of us wants
to plan a funeral, it is a reality, and I cannot imagine a better crew to
work with. Thank you gentlemen, you made a very tough week so much easier.

Dear Brandon, Kari, and Mike,

Thank you so much for making this difficult time go smoothly for us. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting and service for Mom. She would have been overwhelmed by how many people came and "simply" beautiful things were.

Thanks again,

Nancy Molde & Family

Brandon,

Thanks so much for all you did for us, and for Mom. Your gentle humor and kindness helped us get through this difficult time.

Thanks again on behalf of the rest of the family.

-Wanda Wahl

Brandon and Family,

Thank you so very much for all you have done for our family. Your kindness and professionalism is first class and I can't tell you what that means to us during this emotional time. I will definitely pass on the good word for you and your services.

Respectfully,

Michelle Moltzau

Mike,

Just wanted to tell you what a great job you did with my sister's funeral.
You made something so unpleasant as pleasant as possible. You paid attention to every detail and that made all the difference. I will recommend you to all my friends. I just loved Brandon too. He is so Compassionate and thoughtful.

Again thank you for everything.

See you at Peace!

To the staff -- I was in Eau Claire this past week for the visitiation and funeral of my sister, Audrey Brumberg. I am writing to express my sincere appreciation of the exceptional service provided by your organization. All arrangements were done with great attention to detail. Everyone on your staff acted with compassion, kindness, and efficiency. With inclement weather and poor street conditions, extra precautions and attention was given to the safety and comfort of all attendees. Your competence and professionalism along with great personal attention made it an occasion free of anxiety.

In gratitude, Barbara Karlan

Brandon, Mike, Kari, and the Entire Staff,

Thank you from our family for the extraordinary service and compassion we received at the time of Bernie's passing. It will be remembered always!

Sincerely,

Bernadine "Bernie" Klimek Family

Just wanted to send you a note of thanks for the manner in which you and your family handled my fathers's final arrangements. Everything was handled with dignity and warmth. I want to especially thank Brandon for being so kind and considerate throughout the service and burial. Please pass along our appreciation to him.

Dear Brandon-

You have been such a great helper through all of this! I thank God for you!

Your calmness, patience, assurance, respect for memories, concerns & sincereity are all such great qualities--and, you display them with a loving heart. You are very good at your job!

Thank you for being so good to me--and to Merv and to all those that love him!

-Linda LaFracis and The friends and family of Merv Berens.

P.S Thanks from Merv, too

To the Hulke Family~

Thank you so much for the care and compassion you showed my father and us. Brandon is in the right profession-he was understanding, available and knowledgeable. He kept us updated on the progress of the remodel and as promised the facility was beautiful! Everyone commented on the comfortable environment. Thanks for letting us be your trial run!!!



God Bless your family.

Becky & Joel Kiekbusch

I wanted to let you know Hulke Family, that you are so appreciated. Everything was perfect. Mom looked amazing. You are kind, sensitive, caring people that will never be forgotten. Every little "gentle" detail was done with our families welfare in mind. Thank you so very much!

Hulke Family,


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping our family after Mom's death. Her untimely death brought about a lot of sorrow and stress, and your assistance made this time for our family go as well as humanely possible. We were amazed that after just one meeting, all of the little details were taken care of. We are beyond thankful that your family is in this business. Your service, compassion, integrity, communication, and care for the little details allow the family to focus on the important things after a death, not on the stress of planning and executing a service. All of you touched our lives in a special way because of how you do business, and we could not be more grateful.


We thank God for your family.

Mike-

Rick and I want to thank you again for all your help and support for both Dorothy's funeral last June, and for Bob's last week. We appreciate that you listened, empathized, and responded to our needs. The suggestions and quiet guidance we received from you about all aspects of both funerals made the process of planning the services so uncomplicated. It was a big relief. We did not have to be concerned about any of the details; you and your family took care of everything.

It is very comforting to look back on all of it and know that Rick's parents were remembered and celebrated in such a beautiful way.

Thank you again,

Rick and Gretchen Herdrich

I am so pleased that I chose Hulke Family Funeral Home to handle all arrangements for my wife, Barb's funeral. Garrett Hulke and his staff were extremely professional, but beyond that, they were most personal and comforting during the entire time. It was an honor and privilege to go through this difficult time with Garrett, a fellow believer in Christ. My family and I have nothing but the highest praise for the Hulke family.

Hulke Family Funeral Home came highly recommended to us and met those high expectations. The care and professionalism we were shown during a difficult time was exceptional. They handled all the details behind the scenes and everything went off flawlessly. It made it so easy for us to focus on the celebration of our Dad's life. We are eternally grateful, especially to Garrett for his support.

The family of Mary Schopper, who passed in February, 2020, wishes to express
their gratitude and respect for the kind and professional care they received
from the Hulke Family Funeral Home. We had excellent service from the first
meeting to the last detail. We are very grateful.

Very pleased to have worked with Hulke Family Funeral Home. Mike was prompt, professional, and caring, and I truly felt as though he went above and beyond for our family. Thank you for helping us navigate through these difficult circumstances and peacefully find closure for our loved one.

Mike,
Thank you so much for taking great care of our family as we celebrated the life of Joanne Velie this past Friday.
You and your team went out of your way to answer every single question and meet each request down to the smallest detail.
We so appreciated your fresh, welcoming facilities.
On behalf of the entire Velie family, thank you for being so kind and caring from start to finish!

Mike and Garrett were the main points of contact for my father's funeral last month. Caring, professional and transparent through the entire process. My father was treated with respect and dignity.

With gratitude,

The Noel Cisneros Family
