Welcome
Our Mission:
To compassionately serve and guide families with our experience and knowledge as they honor their loved ones.
The staff members of Koch Funeral Home wish you a meaningful holiday season knowing the loss of a loved one may make this a challenging time.
We acknowledge your pain and encourage you to take care of yourself.
Don’t be afraid to honor your loved ones – remembering is an important part of the healing journey.
F. Glenn Fleming
Funeral Director, Supervisor
"The experience to serve you better, the compassion to understand your needs".
As Glenn said, it is important to remember your loved ones during the holidays, and throughout the year for that matter.
You’ve moved from a relationship of presence to a relationship of memory, so remembering is one way you stay connected.
We hope you find comfort in reflecting on how your loved ones live on in you now and forever. (Please see the poem below.)
Our Helping Grieving Hearts Heal program is about helping you open to the healing that lies deep within you.
Please visit our Bereavement Gatherings & Events pages for more information.
