Our Heritage
 

In 1920, Ernest and Ruth Riemann migrated from Richmond, Michigan to Gulfport, Mississippi in search of an opportunity to serve Gulfport families during a difficult time. This Coast pioneer family purchased the Wilder Funeral Home and a legacy of service began.

As the Gulf Coast grew, so did Riemann Funeral Homes. Locations in Bay St Louis, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Biloxi, and Orange Grove were built to serve families in each community on the Coast.

The second generation Riemann, Robert (Bob) Riemann joined the business during World War II and continued the commitment of service begun by his parents. The business grew significantly in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s under his leadership.

Third generation Riemann's, David and Mike, were new arrivals in the 70’s and continue to be active in the business.

Chad Riemann, the fourth generation to serve Gulf Coast families, has over ten years of experience.

The professional and dedicated staff that care for families has hundreds of years of experience – ensuring that each family served has a meaningful experience at a most difficult time.

The Riemann Family recently reacquired its original family business, Riemann Funeral Homes, and along with Gulf Coast Funeral Homes, now serves the Gulf Coast community as ‘Riemann Family Funeral Homes’ with six locations – two in Gulfport, Long Beach, Pass Christian, and Biloxi.
