Arthur Pagenkopf founded Pagenkopf Funeral Home in 1913. Arthur and his wife Weida lived in Ashippun, Wisconsin, and held funeral services in their home and at local churches.

Arthur and Weida's son, Erhard Pagenkopf, followed in his father's footsteps and became a funeral director himself. Erhard and his wife Angeline eventually purchased the business, allowing Arthur to retire.

The Third Generation

In 1967, the Pagenkopf Funeral Home was built in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. Erhard's son, Keith Pagenkopf, became a funeral director, along with his brother-in-law Robert Drenk. Keith's wife Ronna and his sister Donna (Pagenkopf) Drenk worked side-by-side with their spouses.

Kevin Pagenkopf graduated from mortuary school in 1999. As great-grandson of Arthur Pagenkopf and son of Keith and Ronna, he became the fourth generation of funeral directors at Pagenkopf Funeral Home. Kevin and his wife, Cindy, took over ownership and operation of the funeral home in 2008 and are involved in the day-to-day operations. Together, they have one son, Mason, and a black lab, Arthur.
