About Us

Fey Funeral Home has been family-owned and operated for over 70 years. Local family ownership means a more caring service and more involvement in fulfilling your accommodative needs and desires. We are committed to tradition. We respect both the wishes of the deceased and the bereaved and therefore address every concern as individually as possible.

You paying your final respects to the deceased is just as important as us offering support to family and friends left behind. We will be there by your side in this difficult situation, to console you and give you the space you need to go through the process of grieving. We never lose sight of our role as an understanding companion to you during your time of mourning. You can turn to us for personal guidance. We will listen. To us this isn't just a job, it's a calling.
