For over 75 years, my family has been caring for the community and I am honored to continue the tradition of providing funerals with the greatest attention to compassion, dignity and respect. As a third-generation funeral director, I take pride in the lessons and experience gained by watching my grandfather and father serve our local families. I am honored to help my neighbors by providing meaningful tribute to their loved one's life and I hope you will trust my family to care for yours.

-Jennifer Bauer Eroh, Owner and Funeral Director
