During a time of loss, you need the help of compassionate experts who can offer guidance and support throughout the planning process. At Gotschall-Hutchison Funeral Home, we believe that every life deserves to be celebrated. Our mission is to assist families in creating personalized funeral experiences that honor the life of their loved ones.  

In 1860, Carpenter and Arnold Furniture and Undertaking began offering quality funeral services to its clients. Today, Gotschall-Hutchison continues to strive to provide the same high-quality service that the people of Minerva and the surrounding areas have come to expect. 

The funeral home has undergone many changes and had several owners over the years. In 1897, Carpenter and Arnold sold the firm to J. M. Stewart. In 1919, Austin Freed (Harold Freed’s father) and Jacob Schmachtenberger later took over the business. In 1937, Robert Dillon bought the business from Earl King. Finally, in 1950, Wallace Hutchison and D. Dwight Gotschall took over the operation of the business. In 1984 and 1985, the firm added two new funeral directors, David Gotschall (son of D. Dwight Gotschall) and Russell Hawk. 

In 2000, David Gotschall took over the family-run business. He and his team offer the same dignified and reserved services that the people of this community deserve.
