Our History


Stanley C. Leonberg was licensed as a funeral director in 1927. In 1936 he opened Leonberg Funeral Home in Haddonfield. In 1945, Mr. Leonberg moved the funeral home to its Main St. Medford location where it is today. Leon H. Matthews purchased the business in 1970. Shortly after, he added an addition to the building to accommodate a selection room.

In 1981, H. Douglas Lewis purchased the funeral home. Mr. Lewis changed the name to Lewis Funeral Home.

Richard B. Lechner and his wife, Donna purchased the funeral home in 1993 and changed the name to Lechner Funeral Home. In 1997 the seating area of the viewing room was expanded to accommodate more funeral attendees.

Since 1936 Lechner Funeral Home is proud of always having maintained family ownership. We have never been owned or run by a corporation or by a group of larger funeral firms.

At Lechner Funeral Home , we take great pride in what we do. Our purpose is to

  • Help families make well-planned preparations in their time of need;
  • Provide a peaceful and soothing environment where people can gather to honor a loved one
  • Preserve longstanding traditions and customs
  • Offer personalized and affordable services and products
  • Reach out to the greater community

We believe that the success of any business requires dedication and professionalism. In our business, in particular, it also requires a great deal of kindness, compassion and attention to detail. You’ll find these qualities in each and every member of our staff here at Lechner Funeral Home.

Put your trust in us to make this experience as comfortable as possible.
