We are pleased to announce that Bohlender Funeral Chapel in Fort Collins, Colorado has joined Newcomer Funeral Service Group. The Bohlender family has served Fort Collins families since 1960, and the funeral home is led by second-generation funeral director Gary Bohlender and his wife Kristin. Under their leadership, the funeral home enjoys a strong reputation in the community for caring and compassionate service during times of need.
This transition ensures that the Bohlender family’s legacy will continue with the support of another family-owned organization.
"When the time came to think about our next chapter, we found the Newcomer family’s values matched ours," said Gary Bohlender. "I am pleased to share that Kristin and I will continue to work in the funeral home, serving our neighbors alongside our superb staff. Together with Newcomer, we will continue providing the best care possible in our community."
Bohlender joins Newcomer’s group of funeral homes, crematories and cemeteries serving the Front Range of Colorado and Wyoming from locations in Denver, Cheyenne, and Casper.
John Newcomer shared, "the Bohlenders are highly regarded throughout Northern Colorado for their care and professionalism. Their commitment to quality service aligns perfectly with ours, and we are honored to welcome them to Newcomer."
The funeral home will continue to operate under the same name, with the same great team, with the full support of the Newcomer organization.
