The Story & History of Conner & Koch Funeral Home

Conner and Koch Funeral Home is known to families in Greene County and the Miami Valley area as "a friend of the family" because of our personalized service and attention to detail.  We serve all faiths and provide all types of services. We are compassionate funeral directors who listen attentively to our families and provide services tailored to their individual needs.  Because we are very familiar with the grief process, we can provide caring and valuable help.  We are honored to serve our families in pre-planning, at-need and after-care services.

Conner & Koch Funeral Home was founded in 1968 by H. William Tobias and was first named Tobias Memorial Home. Mr. Tobias owned and operated the funeral home at 92 West Franklin Street (St. Rt. 725), Bellbrook until his retirement in 1986.  Steve and Kathy Conner of Waynesville purchased the funeral home in March 1986.  The name of the funeral home changed to Tobias-Conner Funeral Home.
