Olthof Funeral Home

10/13/2025

After nearly 80 years of serving our Elmira community, we've closed our doors and will no longer be serving families. For the time being, our business office will remain open for anyone with questions or who may need assistance.

We were founded in 1946 by Robert L. and Louise Smith Olthof, and through three generations of family dedication, we became a trusted name in compassionate care and service. Through the decades, the Olthof family built a legacy rooted in kindness, professionalism, and respect for every family served.

To our Elmira community and all the families who have placed their trust in us since 1946, we extend our heartfelt thanks. It has been our privilege and honor to serve you through the generations.

Did you know that, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime? Thanks to advances in early detection and treatment, survival rates have improved significantly. As October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we stand in support of survivors, those currently fighting, and we remember the loved ones we have lost to this disease.
