In 1977 Charles V. and Jennifer Landwehr moved to Taft and Charles was hired by Erickson & Brown Funeral Home as an embalmer. Two years later the Landwehrs were offered the opportunity to purchase stock in the business and, of course, they did. Bruce Ioppini joined in ownership in 1981 and remained for fours years. After Bruce left, the Landwehrs became the sole owners. The years rolled by and the Landwehrs raised three sons in Taft and continued the tradition of service, understanding, dignity and experience that had been established by the funeral home founders. In 1987, Taft native, Angie Milner, joined the team and has since become an invaluable and trusted employee and friend. Charlie, Jennifer and Angie are proud to be a part of Taft and are privileged to own and work at one of Tafts oldest, continually operated, family owned businesses.
