History
Established in 1960.
Hoffen Funeral Home came into being after Frank and Elle Heiligenstein purchased the building from the Creason family in 2019. In 1960, James Creason opened the funeral home and operated it until his passing in 2004. James' son, Jim Creason operated the funeral home until his retirement in 2019. Since opening Hoffen Funeral Home, Frank and Elle have remodeled the interior of the funeral home and upgraded the furnishings with client comfort in mind. Our funeral home boasts beautiful surroundings and a cozy feeling throughout.
