Hahn-Groeber Funeral Homes are for
family. We believe and hold true to the idea that every family we serve should
be treated just as if we were caring for our own family member. Our dedication
to fulfilling the wishes of family is what sets us apart. With dignity and respect
for those we serve, our family believes in providing unparalleled service with
sincerity.
Hahn Funeral Home's history dates back to 1931 and it has been family owned and operated since that time. With Gary Hahn's arrival in 1965, the Hahn Funeral Home began decades of local, quality funeral service. In 2005, Richard “Rich” and Donna Groeber purchased the Hahn-Groeber Funeral Homes of Lafayette, Linden and Oxford. With this change in ownership, the funeral home’s name was also changed to Hahn-Groeber Funeral Homes.
“This will allow families to recognize the Hahn name which has been trusted and respected in the communities for decades, yet the name will also represent the Groeber name as I have served many families in the area for a long time,” explained Rich. “My wife and I feel very honored that Gary and Barbara Hahn felt that we would continue with their tradition of excellent service to the communities and families they serve.” We look forward to serving you, our friends and neighbors, for years to come.
