Luecker Funeral Home was built in 1938 in Brillion.  For 18 years, the Luecker Family served the community until Fred L. Luecker retired.

The Wieting Funeral Home legacy began in 1953 when Merlin A. Wieting, Sr. and Harvey Techman began operating the Techman-Wieting Funeral Home in Hilbert.

In 1956, Merlin Sr. and Evelyn Wieting moved to Brillion and purchased the Luecker Funeral Home and Furniture Store from the Luecker Family, starting the original Wieting Funeral Home.

In 1968, a building expansion project began, encompassing the Luecker Chapel built in 1938, to the funeral home it is today.

In 1972, Wieting Funeral Home became Wieting Funeral Home, Inc. when Merlin "Fuzzy" Wieting, Jr. joined the family business.

In 1985, the Reedsville Co-op Funeral Home was purchased by the Wieting's.  

Previously, the Co-op Funeral Home was opened in 1939.  In 1945, the Cooperative bought Shimon Funeral Home and retained Edward Shimon as their funeral director.  The funeral home building was retained until 1959 when the Co-op built the new funeral home on the same location as the previous building. 

In 1994, Merlin Sr. passed away. This lead to the corporation known as Wieting Funeral Home, Incorporated to be restructured into two separate corporations; Wieting Funeral Homes, Inc., owned by Merlin “Fuzzy” Wieting, Jr. and Wieting Funeral Home of Chilton.  This now meant that in 1995, Fuzzy Wieting solely owned and operated both the Brillion and Reedsville funeral homes.

In August of 2010, Sarah Pielhop joined Wieting Funeral Home, Inc. as a funeral director.  For 10 years, she and Fuzzy worked together serving the families in this area when called upon.  When Fuzzy & Kathy Wieting asked Sarah & Jason Pielhop to purchase the funeral homes, it just made sense.

In September of 2020, Jason & Sarah Pielhop purchased Wieting Funeral Home, Inc., its' assets and the properties from Fuzzy and Kathy Wieting.   With collaboration, they created the Pielhop Wieting Funeral Homes of Brillion and Reedsville. They will continue the legacy of care, compassion and support that the Wieting’s have shown for many decades to the communities of Brillion and Reedsville and throughout Northeast, WI.
