Brickner Funeral Home is family owned and operated, we have been serving families in Van Wert, Ohio and the surrounding area for over a century. Founded in 1888 by B.L. Vore on Main Street, and moved to its current location in 1932. Elmer Knoll purchased a partnership in the firm, followed by Dana Didrick and Carl F. Brickner in 1954.
Didrick was a partner until 1957. The firm took the name of Knoll & Brickner Funeral Home in 1958. In 1961, Carl F. Brickner died and Elmer Knoll left the firm. At that time, James and Charles Brickner had expressed an interest in the funeral home, but were still in school. Madge Brickner, wife of Carl F. Brickner, managed the firm after the death of her husband until Jim received his license in 1967, followed by Charles the next year.

The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
