FUNERAL HOMES MERGE IN LE MARS AND REMSEN
(Joel and Nikki Johnson, Dan Rexwinkel)
As of January 1, Two funeral services in Plymouth County have purchased neighboring operations.
In Le Mars, Dan and Lori Rexwinkel purchased Mauer-Johnson Funeral Homes from Joel and Nikki Johnson.
Rexwinkel says the transition went smoothly.
Joel Johnson says when his father acquired the Luken Funeral Home in 1967. At the time, it included the city’s ambulance service.
Dan says he’s been familiar with Maurer-Johnson since high school.
Joel Johnson says he has a similar continuity story.
Dan Rexwinkel says both funeral services will be operating at their present Le Mars locations, under their current names. He says the purchase also includes locations in Kingsley and Marcus. They will continue under their current names, Johnson-Earnest in Kingsley and Earnest-Johnson in Marcus. Rexwinkel also has a funeral service in Akron.
In Remsen, David Fisch announced that Fisch Funeral Home and Monument, LLC, has purchased Rohde Funeral Home in Kingsley from Mark and Tami Rohde. The Kingsley location will be known as Kingsley Funeral Home and Monument. David is the third generation of his family to offer funeral services at Remsen.
