Gesche Funeral Home receives national award

The National Funeral Directors Association has honored Gesche Funeral Home of Neillsville, as a recipient of the 2005 National Funeral Directors Association Pursuit of Excellence Continuing Achievement award. The plaque award honors funeral homes for their outstanding service to families, community involvement, technical abilities, and professional integrity. Achieving a Pursuit of Excellence award requires that a funeral home must meet strict quality criteria in nine categories of achievement.

This is the second year Gesche Funeral Home has won this prestigious award. Along with a plaque, they also received a picture and sculpture of an eagle.
