Hockemeyer & Miller Funeral Home

Since 1921, Hockemeyer & Miller Funeral Home has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in the Fort Wayne, Indiana, community. Originally founded by Herman Rodenbeck in central Fort Wayne, the funeral home was operated by the Rodenbeck family until 1968, when Harold Hockemeyer purchased the business and renamed it Hockemeyer Funeral Home. In 1990, Jim Miller joined Harold, forming Hockemeyer & Miller Funeral Home, which he managed until his retirement in 2014. Today, the funeral home is conveniently located at 6131 St. Joe Road, serving families from a modern, accessible facility that includes an onsite chapel and free parking.

As a proud member of the Dignity Memorial® network, Hockemeyer & Miller Funeral Home is committed to providing exceptional, personalized service for families of all faiths, backgrounds, and cultures.

Whether families desire a large gathering or an intimate service, the experienced team works one-on-one to ensure every detail meets the family’s wishes and budget. The funeral home also offers pre-planning services, allowing individuals to protect their loved ones by making arrangements in advance, often with financial benefits such as up to 10% off prepaid plans.

In addition to funeral and cremation services, Hockemeyer & Miller partners closely with Birkmeier & Sons Monument Company, a family-owned monument business since 1880. This partnership allows families to create custom monuments, bronze markers, mausoleums, benches, and upright or flat markers that beautifully commemorate a loved one’s life.

The funeral home is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot. They offer onsite services and are available 24/7—whenever a family calls, a real person answers.
