Meet Our Caring Staff

Five professionals in dark suits posing in a bright office, one seated and four standing.


The staff at Feist Funeral Homes are caring, experienced professionals who recognize that every family has its own wishes, traditions, and preferences. Our licensed funeral directors and support staff are committed to honoring those details with respect and attention. Adam is grateful for each team member and the important role they play in every aspect of the funeral home.
