Our History
Becher
Funeral Home was founded by Victor F. Becher in 1937. In fact, the
funeral home still resides at the same location today on Main Street in
Ferdinand, Indiana.
In
1959 Richard “Dick” Becher came to work with his Uncle Victor in the
established funeral home. After spending years working at the funeral
home and learning the trade, Richard and his wife Kathleen purchased the
business from Victor in 1967. In order to meet the needs of the growing
community and the growing business, Richard oversaw an extensive
renovation to the building in 1975. Becher Funeral Home was owned and
operated by Richard until his passing in 1995.
The funeral home was then purchased by Richard's two sons, Lance and
Shawn Becher, who presently own and operate the family business. In
2012, a third licensee, John Fleig was added to the staff to help meet
the needs of the continuously growing business.
