Geisen Funeral Homes (Crown Point) has acquired Pruzin Funeral Homes’ locations in Crown Point, Merrillville and Portage. Geisen Funeral Home has been in business for more than 154 years, and owners Larry and Kim Geisen, and their son, Anthony, represent the fifth and sixth generations to serve area families. Pruzin Funeral Homes has been in business for more than 90 years.

“We sincerely appreciate the trust the Pruzins have placed in us,” said Larry Geisen. “My family and I understand how important it is to carry on the Pruzin family’s legacy, and we take this honor very seriously.”

Said Thomas Pruzin: “It’s been an honor to provide compassionate care and service to our neighbors over the years. We know many families have been loyal to us, and we will still be taking care of them, now under the ownership of Geisen Funeral Homes.”

Following the acquisition, funeral directors Thomas Pruzin, T.J. Pruzin and Jonathon Christiansen will continue serving families at all locations, and the accounts of many area families that previously prearranged and prepaid their funeral services will be honored and remain intact. geisenfuneralhome.com; pruzinfuneralservice.com
