The loss of a loved one can be a traumatic and stressful time for many families. One of the many people that help during this time of need are funeral directors and morticians. These individuals dedicate their lives to helping us celebrate our loved ones, bringing together the memories and achievements of someone we've lost to death. With professional guidance and compassion, funeral directors help with every step of planning a funeral. Beyond their training, funeral directors know how to put people at ease. When we grieve, the pain of loss takes on many different faces. Funeral directors act as guides and help to fulfill the wishes of our loved ones. When the pain and suffering ends, the mortician and funeral director provide a sense of peace and unity at a time that can seem chaotic even at its best. By an act of Congress, National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day was created and has been observed on March 11 since 2008. In Fort Wayne we have a long history of funeral professionals providing for the care of our loved ones. These range from the Peltier family in the early 19th century to Klaehn, Fahl & Melton in the 21st century. Join us today as we thank and honor these wonderful individuals who help our community in time of grief. #sociallyhistory

Stop by Sheets and Child's Funeral Home and view the antique hearse originally owned by the Roberson family. What a unique use of space and a great addition to downtown. A hearse is a funerary vehicle used to carry a coffin from a church or funeral home to a cemetery. In the funeral trade, hearses are often called funeral coaches.

A History of Hometown Hospitality Harper’s Community Funeral Home in New Haven offers that small town feeling when it comes to making big decisions for your loved ones. by Jennifer Blomquist published June 4, 2020 on Business People.
Monday, May 6, 2024 post by Harper's Community Funeral Home on Facebook:
E. Harper & Son Funeral Home is the oldest continuously family-owned and operated funeral home business in New Haven and Allen County Indiana. We provide the families of Allen County with a caring, homelike atmosphere born of the experience of four generations with deep roots in our family-centered and church-oriented community.
The business originally began as a funeral home and furniture business owned by Henry Tenge and located on the corner of Middle and Broadway Streets. Brent Lovell, a cabinetmaker, purchased the firm in 1872 and later sold it to the first Harper family member, Edward, in 1889.

Since 1925, DO McComb & Sons has been honored to serve our community with dignity, compassion and respect. Our dedication to excellence and heartfelt service has been the foundation of our legacy and we are grateful for the trust placed in us over the generations.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives for the past 100 years and we look forward to serving our community for many years to come.
D.O. McComb & sons funeral home mortuary records, 1926-1950similar title to above book at The Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Contents state: D. O. McComb & Sons Funeral Home was founded in 1925 by D. O. McComb, an individual well known in the community and a former Superintendent of Allen County Schools. D. O. McComb & Sons' original funeral home was located on East Lewis Street and in their first year of business served twenty families. In 1928, the Lakeside facility opened. In 1940, sons Walter and David joined the company and expanded the business to serve families not only with funeral needs but also to provide emergency ambulance service. In 1958, the Lakeside facility expanded to accommodate new services. Since 1958, six additional locations were added to better serve the greater Fort Wayne area. The Allen County Genealogical Society of Indiana transcribed data from the McComb & Sons Funeral Home's microfiche records and compiled an index in Microsoft Word for the 1926 through 1950 records. The original records as well as the microfiche copies of those records are in the possession of the funeral home. (The earliest records for 1925 and part of 1926 could not be located.) This search is a translation of their work. There may be additional data on a number of the actual records. The McComb & Sons Funeral Home's Main Office at Lakeside Park, 1140 Lake Avenue, Fort Wayne, IN 46805-4341 can be contacted to inquire about specific additional data.

Tuesday, October 2, 2012 post by Hofer and Davis,Inc. LAND SURVEYORS on Facebook:
On Wednesday February 8, 2012 we staked the building and sewers for this project. (See earlier posted albumn) Pictures below of the finished product!
Not that long ago, a site that was all grass, would be developed with buildings, parking lots, etc. and the water falling would immediately be piped to our rivers and streams thru the storm sewers. We wondered why the rivers flooded so much, huh! Rainfall that used to land on the grass, gradually soak into the soil, and slowly make it's way to the rivers over hours or days, now makes it there in minutes! Go figure!
