In circa 1875 Wilhelm Konrad began a furniture business along with a Mr. Wolf. As a side business, Mr. Konrad operated a funeral parlor in a back room of the furniture store. In the cases of a funeral from decedent's home, the furniture store would provide chairs and arrange for the hiring of hacks (carriages) for the transportation of family and friends to the place of burial.
As our society changed from a rural to more and more urban the homes of most people became inadequate for funerals. The funeral home, as we now know it, evolved as an alternative home from which families could hold wake services for their loved ones. As public health and safety became more recognized, funeral homes became more and more specialized in the facilities and services that they offered.

I can’t thank all of you enough, for the wonderful help you were during my Dad’s passing.
Matt was able to make our every wish happen and I don’t think we ever heard the word “no” from anyone.
In a time like this… you all surpassed my expectations. Thank you so very kindly for the loving care you took of my father.

I’ve been meaning to add a review since the passing of my husband in September 2020 but couldn’t bear to talk about it until now… but they deserve to be acknowledged for their wonderful work.
My grandpa just passed and we worked with Konrad-Behlman Funeral Homes, and though this is yet again a trying time in my life, they made everything a little more bearable.
I worked with Jay when my husband passed and was absolutely blown away by his care, professionalism, patience and compassion from beginning to end. I can’t believe how helpful he was.
This time we worked with Karisa and once again

It is very sad and unfortunate to need the services Konrad-Behlman Funeral Homes has provided in Oshkosh for many decades. However, when you do need them, their compassion, concern, patience, understanding, and professionalism are surpassed by no others. I have been assisted by Jay Schultz in the planning of several bereavements, and he far exceeds in all of the aforementioned qualities to ensure you receive the services that are best for you and your loved one. Can’t thank Jay and Konrad-Behlman enough for helping to get through the saddest of times.

During the hardest times of your life, you want caring, compassionate and professionals guiding you. You can trust Konrad-Behlman to be there for you. Jay and the rest of the staff understand what you are going through. They know their jobs and how to handle all the aspects that grieving families endure.

Konrad-Behlman funeral home is highly recommend by myself and my entire family. Jay and his entire staff, are compassionate, kind, understanding, helpful, and will do everything possible to make a tough situation easier for you and your family. When my mom passed away at the young age of 53, almost a year ago, I was lost. They did everything possible to make the process easier for all of us. Willing to do as much as possible, to make sure my mom was honored just as we wanted. She wasn’t religious. Didn’t belong to a church. They knew exactly who would be perfect to represent mom and her life
