“Herman Lohmeyer Funeral home handled my granddaughters arrangements 14.years ago. We were in shock and they were absolutely wonderful taking care of everything for us. Again, march 23rd, 2025 we asked them to do my precious daughter Shona Pitts, service. Felicia was very attentive and accommodating. Paul helped with setting up flowers and lighting we asked for. When we arrived the chapel was absolutely beautiful and warm. Thank you so much for making it so special honoring my daughter and for all your kindness and compassion. Sharon Pitts & Family”
“We have come to know the wonderful; staff at Lohmeyer Funeral Home all too well over the past 3 1/2 years. They first handled my dads service, then the unexpected loss of my sister (complicated by distance) and most recently my moms service. I just cant express enough how kind, caring and compassionate they are. They helped us through everything from A to Z, patiently answered every question (often ones repeated) thoroughly and were a guide through the process. When my sister and Mom passed, Avery prepared them for the services and did an exceptional job. Kent, Paul and Rebecca helped in every way possible. Pricing was very fair and affordable with a ton of options. You all have become family to me. I will always be thankful for helping us in every way possible with incredible professionalism. If you require the services of a funeral home, I give Herman H Lohmeyer my highest recommendation. Thank you all all you have done. Your the best.”

I am grateful to have talked with Kent over the phone, his patience, helpfulness and willingness to guide me the through step by step will forever be remembered. So again, a big thank you to Kent and all of who helped in preparing my dad's funeral arrangements. - Emily from California”
