The Wright-Habegger Funeral Homes will undergo a name change to Wright-Hanneman-Habegger Funeral Homes & Crematory, while Deck-Hanneman Funeral Home & Crematory in Bowling Green and Loomis-Hanneman Funeral Home in Weston will remain the same.
Kraig and Kay Hanneman along with Brian and Kathy Habegger are very proud and excited to have all four family owned and operated funeral homes working together to provide families in our communities with professional and compassionate service.
“With our knowledgeable funeral directors who also include Drew DeVore and Daniel Billings along with our staff who are deeply involved within the community, it is our goal to offer families peace of mind and personal choices.”
Kraig Hanneman – said the strong reputations of each business will serve as the foundation on which to continue to serve families with dignity and respect.
“With our continued commitment I feel this endeavor will benefit our communities greatly. Additionally we own and operate our own crematory. Therefore, if your family chooses cremation, your loved one would never leave our care.” Habegger stated.
Kraig and Kay Hanneman noted that by uniting the talents of all the funeral service professionals of these establishments it will allow us to continue the caring service that our families deserve.
Kraig and Kay Hanneman went on to say that “It will also allow us to have better schedules, affording us the opportunity to be even more attentive to the families we serve. Brian is a perfect example. As basically a one-man operation he now can draw from the personnel resources of Deck-Hanneman. “We will share our staff.”
“Our people make the difference,” Hanneman and Habegger added. “We are members of the communities we serve and are privileged to be here.”
The Hanneman Family have worked in years past side by side with former owner Paul Croll and his family at the Grand Rapids Location and also helped in the training of former owner Ray Wright who served his apprenticeship with Hanneman Funeral Homes.
Deck-Hanneman Funeral Homes, established in 1912 , and Wright-Habegger Funeral Home, formerly the Croll Funeral Home have been providing personal, friendly and professional care to the families of Wood, Henry and Lucas Counties for decades. Hanneman and Habegger said their respective businesses have based their longevity on a commitment to excellence by always placing the needs of families they serve first.
The Hanneman Family are proud to say they have been committed to excellence in the funeral business for 104 years.
