The J. M. WEIRAUCH FUNERAL HOME was founded in 1929 as the GIBBONS FUNERAL HOME by Claud and Jesse Gibbons. In 1979 it became the GIBBONS-WEIRAUCH FUNERAL HOME and in 1990 it became the J. M. WEIRAUCH FUNERAL HOME, owned by Mike and Karen Weirauch.
Since it's beginning, it has been family owned and family operated offering the finest services available in the area. The Victorian home that houses the firm today was originally the home for the President of Ogara Coal Co. It has undergone several remodeling projects to make it comfortable for the public while still retaining it's home like atmosphere and surroundings. Great efforts have been made to keep the J. M. WEIRAUCH FUNERAL HOME a home and not just a funeral chapel.
