The Brunner Funeral Home was started by William Brunner, Jr. in 1947 after serving in the U.S. Army during WWII. The funeral home was opened in his father's home where it is to this day. Bill Brunner was really great at swinging a hammer. He put one addition after another on the funeral home until he retired in 1986.
Obituaries act as quiet reminders of the finite nature of our lives. Yet, for those who have recently experienced the death of a family member or friend, an obituary means so much more. It is a bittersweet reminder of all we've lost, but it can also help us to remember all we enjoyed while they were alive.
G. K. Chesterton wrote, Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.

Each should be honored and remembered, so that our gratitude never fades.

A funeral service, whether traditional or more modern (memorial service or celebration-of-life), has two functions: to acknowledge the death and lifetime achievements of an individual and to bring grieving family members and friends together in support of one another during this difficult time. If you are interested in making funeral arrangements for a loved one, we invite you to call us to begin.
