Every family can receive a FREE CASKET with a traditional funeral service for a
U. S. Veteran OR any traditional pre-need funeral service contract at John L. Ziegenhein & Sons Funeral Homes. “We remember and honor all U. S. Veterans for their gift of service to the people of the United States. This program puts our words into action,” said Richie.

These are not common times. They are financially challenging and emotionally turbulent economic times. Many St. Louis families are having a hard time making ends meet—jobs are tentative and savings are thin. John L. Ziegenhein & Sons just wants to help their neighbors when the death of a loved one happens.
Since 1931 their purpose has been “loving people & serving them—kindness always.” They use the Golden Rule as their guide as they provide meaningful, dignified and affordable funeral and cremation services.
