Welcome to the Behr Funeral Home website! Thank you for visiting.

Behr Funeral Home was founded by Norbert and Mary Behr and opened for business in October of 1936, at 1832 Central Avenue in Dubuque. In 1948, they purchased the Alexander Young Home, which remains our current location, at 1491 Main Street.  In 1974 their daughter, Kathy (Behr) Conlon, joined them as a licensed funeral director.  Her son, Kevin, has also followed in their footsteps and is now a third generation funeral director.

We are a full service funeral home providing traditional services, as well as cremation and memorial services.  We can also accommodate your family with services at your place of worship if you are more comfortable there.  We can create a custom memorial DVD to highlight special moments from your loved one's life.  We encourage you to make our home your own in celebrating a life well-lived by bringing in personal items that represent your loved one.  Our mission is to assist you in creating a unique celebration of the life and memories of your loved one. 

We invite you to browse through our site and learn more about us. We are very proud of our tradition, our facilities, and the services that we provide.
