Our Mission: To compassionately serve and guide families with our experience and knowledge as they honor their loved ones.
When we serve you, one of the first things we do is listen to your stories, wants, and needs.
Our intention is to meet your needs and help you memorialize your loved ones in meaningful ways.
Your loved ones were unique and we want to honor that about them.
Please let us know how we can help.
F. Glenn Fleming - Funeral Director, Supervisor
Just as the funeral directors listen to your stories, wants, and needs, I too create safe spaces for you to share and begin to heal.
From co-creating and officiating at personalized services to facilitating our many grief education and support gatherings and supporting end-of-life journeys, the Helping Grieving Hearts Heal program is here for you.
We don’t want you to grieve alone.

Welcome to our website!
We are happy to welcome you to the Koch Funeral Home website. We hope you find it user friendly and informative.
We have learned that meaningful funeral experiences are an important first step on your grieving journey. Other steps include taking the grief you feel on the inside and expressing it on the outside, or mourning in ways that are significant to you. To help encourage you and others on these journeys, Koch Funeral Home partnered with Jackie Hook and created Helping Grieving Hearts Heal program. This program helps and supports individuals as they grieve.
To learn more about this program and content that may help you individually or family members you are invited to read our Monday's Moment blog or visit our Facebook community. Our intention is to share supportive information that will be helpful to you and your family.
