Bio
Tom Hodgson
When my wife passed away three years ago, I was hardly equipped to handle--much less know about--the myriad details required to arrange cremation services, arrange a proper memorial celebration, etc., etc. Placing myself at the mercy of a Google search just wasn't what I needed at the time. Enter Minnesota Funeral Planning and Anne Morehouse. Anne's professionalism and sincere compassion blended with her amazing knowledge of resources and options, and made an achingly difficult process smooth and almost bearable. My wife's illness left us with significant bills, so money was tight...but Anne was able to arrange for a memorial service location for over 400 people at a very reasonable price, found a cremation service that was dignified and respectful at half the cost of a funeral home, and was instrumental in creating a memorial that honored my dear wife. It seemed fitting that Anne's generosity, kindness, and good heart mirrored the qualities I so treasured in my late wife. To this day, when I think on those times, I am so thankful that Anne Morehouse was there for me.

I met Anne when she approached me with the opportunity to market my restaurant. With her help we developed a hugely successful event that exposed my business to her readers. Anne was instrumental in the planning and execution of the event. She is professional, friendly and a great representative for the people she reports on and the businesses that advertise in her publication. I feel that Anne represents my business and markets my brand in all of her interactions in the community we serve.
