Our Story

Harper-Welch Funeral Home, formerly known as Love Funeral Home, has been a part of the community since 2016. Originally opened by Glen Love, the funeral home quickly became a trusted place where families could turn for care, compassion, and dignity in times of loss.

In 2025, ownership transitioned to JD Harper and Blake Welch, who established Harper-Welch Funeral Home with a renewed vision for service. While the name has changed, the commitment to serving families with compassion and professionalism remains the same.
