We are a small family owned and operated funeral home. As you will see below, we are real people with families and hobbies just like you. We are a close knit group and everyone helps out. It is not even unusual to see Kevin and Nancy’s children hanging out and helping with small jobs. Our entire staff is devoted to serving others and are honored to have the opportunity to assist those who are grieving in our community. Our goal here at Behr’s is to provide a quality service to our families, in a professional manner, all while embracing them with a sincere heart. We proudly carry on the tradition of care and compassion set forth by Norb and Mary Behr.
