Hello and welcome, my name is Tina Lemke, owner of
Lemke Funeral Homes and Clinton Lawn Cemetery. My husband
George and I started this business after purchasing the former
Cannon funeral home in 1999, then four years later, we
purchased the former Nelson/Heesch funeral home and the
former Clinton Memorial Cemetery.
It wasn't easy for George and I to start this
business in parallel with starting a new family. We
both shared a strong commitment of working hard, doing
things right, and doing whatever it takes to keep things
going. At the start of our business venture times became
so challenging that George delivered pizzas. Times were tough
for us but we never complained or treated our families in-need any
differently because our tough times were in no comparison to their
personal loss.
George and I never forgot our meager beginnings and
the hard work we put forth to make this business work. When
we were able to purchase our first Lemke Funeral Home sign and
saw it light up at night, we were very proud of all of
our hard work, our strong family values,
integrity, passion for excellent service, compassion,
humility, respect, and a overall commitment to doing things
right.
I remember in 2005 we had our first bill board
displayed in town showing a picture of our young and growing family
with our message displayed "We do more than listen we
Understand". At that time I never thought that in
3 short years my life would turn upside down and my new message
would change to "We do more than listen we truely understand".
After a long, valiant and courageous fight against
cancer, the love of my life, my husband George, passed away on
August 9th, 2008. George was a wonderful husband, a wonderful
Father to Konnor and Logan, and a great friend to so many
people. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think
about him. I love him and will miss him forever.
My 20 year passion for helping families drove me to
keep and continue my business and keep our original dream
going. Our 5 core values have not changed since George and I
started this buisness: (1) Integrity Beyond Reproach, (2) Humility,
(3) Respect, (4) Committment to Excellence and (5) Personalize
Service to our Families
Thank you for visiting the Lemke Funeral Home
website, Myself or one of my staff associates would be
very humbled and gracious to help you or your family through a
pre-need process and I appreciate your trust in me and my
staff to care for a loved one that has passed.
Now more than ever, we truely understand the loss
of a loved one....
Graciously yours,
Tina Lemke, Konnor Lemke, and Logan Lemke
