Our History

Mr. & Mrs. F.W. Nieburg had been active in funeral service and furniture retailing in the Warrenton community continuously since 1903, when the funeral home was established. In 1912, they built the brick building located at 201 E. Main Street, which served as a furniture store and funeral home until 1951, when the present funeral home at 510 East Main was constructed. In 1935, his son John F. Nieburg and John's wife Doris became partners in the business. In 1940, John E. Herlinger, a son-in-law, replaced the elder Mr. Nieburg in the partnership. John F. Nieburg and John E. Herlinger operated both the funeral home and furniture business until 1962, when Mr. Herlinger sold his interest to John F. Nieburg. John and Doris Nieburg owned and operated the business until 1969 when it was sold to Paul Funeral Inc.
 
On June 1, 1987, the business was purchased by Danny & Fran Martin. Danny had formerly worked with John and Doris Nieburg from 1962 to 1967 and was happy to be back in Warrenton to work with and serve the families of Warren County. Danny and Fran were both very involved in the community and members of many organizations. They took great pride in serving the families of Warren County.
