We are family owned and operated for four generations. Doeppenschmidt Funeral Home was established in 1923 by Oscar and Emmie Doeppenschmidt. After Oscar's death in November of 1952, son Bennie and his wife, Ruth, took over operation. Carl Doeppenschmidt started his service at Doeppenschmidt Funeral Home in 1970.
He and his wife, Barbara, took over operation after the death of Carl's father, Bennie, in February of 1992. Carl and Barbara continue the same tradition of service and care since the funeral home was established in 1923.

Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love.
