Many Traditions, One Heritage
Like the families we assist throughout Southeast Wisconsin, Heritage Funeral Homes is a blend of many valued traditions. Behind our name are some of the most respected names in funeral service: Klemmer, Tebo, Peppey, Scheuerell, Johnson, Reiss, Frantz, Gamache, Lohman Altstadt, Tyborski and Ermenec. Twelve families and four generations have come together because we share a single heritage: a belief in serving you to the utmost in a time of need.
It has been estimated that some 200 separate tasks are involved in planning a funeral. Be assured that Heritage Funeral Homes will manage all of them with respect, compassion and honesty. But ultimately, funeral direction is not about ordering flowers or placing a death notice or any of the 200 activities. It is about the quality of our service, standing beside you in a very personalized way at a most difficult time. That is our heritage, and one in which we hope you will take comfort.
Our fathers and grandfathers taught us the importance of hard work, integrity and the value of a handshake. "If you treat your customers like family," they said, "then you'll never have anything to worry about." It is advice that still guides us today.
Thousands of families in the Milwaukee area have looked to us with confidence for our professional caring service. We've built our reputation on it.
