Wittich Ralph J-Riley-Freers Funeral Home

Our History of Ralph J. Wittich Funeral Home dates back into the 1800?s when Werner Wittich and his brother George operated the Wittich Brothers Furniture and Undertaking Business. In 1932, Werner Wittich left Wittich Brothers and along with his son, Ralph, opened the Ralph J. Wittich Funeral Home on August 5, 1932, at 216 West Third St.Walter Riley owned and operated the Riley Chapel in Iowa City from 1936-1941. In 1941, Walter Riley purchased the Myers Funeral Home in Muscatine and renamed it the Riley Funeral Home.The Ralph J. Wittich Funeral Home served the families of Muscatine at the same location for sixty-four years until the merger with the Riley Funeral Home in 1996, when they then moved into their new location at 1931 Houser Street.Celebration of Life. No two people are alike and no two services should be alike. We believe in taking your memories of a person you love, and from that, guiding you in selecting a tribute to them that celebrates their unique qualities and is meaningful to your family. Getting creative with flowers, displays, or music. Finding a site for a service that just seems right, like bringing a lifelong farmer home to his backyard for a service. Spending time with the children in the family to help them understand what they're seeing. Listening to what families say, and giving them choices beyond the usual or expected.Our mission is simple to provide the finest quality service possible to every family we serve!
