Strayer Funeral Home opens to serve community


BY NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The seven-year dream of a local business and funeral director has come to fruition. Strayer Funeral Home at 1840 E. Fifth St., Delphos has opened its doors to serve the community in times of need. Owner Mike Birkmeier and Funeral Director Brian Strayer will welcome the public from 2-4 p.m. April 20 and 21 to tour the new facility and enjoy some light refreshments. This has been in the works for seven years, Birkmeier said. I saw the need for another alternative for those who lose loved ones and in the past, this community has always supported two funeral homes. Strayer has been a funeral director for 18 years and says its his calling. I originally went to school to be a teacher and after a year, it just didnt feel like a good fit, Strayer said. I went back to school and got my bachelors degree at mortuary school and then started working at it to hone my craft. Its really up to each person how they do things. Birkmeier said he admires Strayers field. It really is an art to do what he does, Birkmeier said. Working with the deceased and the family and all aspects of preparing for the last tribute to a loved one takes a special person. Strayer has found the career to be very fulfilling. It is rewarding to help the families. It See STRAYER, page 7
