Our Story

Bringing Local, Authentic Funeral Service Back To Fort Wayne

Our story is actually about bringing a dramatically better level of service to families. It's about demonstrating that we're indelibly human and connected, and that the only enduring antidote to loss is love and support. 

What brought us together as partners was the belief that a locally-owned funeral home experience had gone missing for families in Fort Wayne. After arranging the details and wishes of people we’d served for decades, we’d come to the realization that our view of funeral care differed from our corporate counterparts. We believed that we could do better.

Mark Scheidt, Jarod Steffen, Lucas Glessner and Britton Claghorn have assisted Fort Wayne families for over 80 years combined. They are kind, empathetic men of service with unassailable credentials, good families, and a life-long kinship to the people and place they are proud to call home.


“Fort Wayne deserves premium funeral service at a fair price, and it’s our desire to bring our brand of compassionate care and quality to every family we serve,” Scheidt said.
