Sippel Funeral Home

09/25/2026

We thought we would be able to access this Sippel Funeral Home page from all of our computers, but unfortunately we are only able to access this from our St. Cloud location.

With this comes the inability to share the New Holstein and St. Cloud funerals on this page when we are moving from location to location.

To view all of the obituaries for St. Cloud, New Holstein, and our other family owned, locally owned locations, please visit our website and enroll in online emailed obituary notifications or follow us on our Pielhop Funeral Homes page.

We are sorry we are unable to share obituaries on this page.

Compassionate funeral services in Brillion & Reedsville, WI. Memorials, pre-planning, grief support & more. Trust our funeral home to honor your loved one.

Jim & Helen shared earlier today on Jim's personal page, and we also wanted share this on their business page.

Jim & Helen sold their funeral homes to myself (Sarah) and my husband (Jason) Pielhop this afternoon.

Jim & Helen approached us in March of this year. We know it was not an easy decision for them. We took their consideration very seriously. Jason and I prayed, spent long nights talking, and prayed some more. And we ultimately decided this was the direction we were being called to pursue.

Jason and I want to thank Jim & Helen for guiding us and continuing on with us as we go forward and serve the families in the New Holstein and St. Cloud communities. We are coming from small towns and have small town values. And we continue to care for your loved ones with dignity and respect, just as you have experienced previously.

Myself, Sarah and Abigail "Abbi" Kuether are going to be the additional funeral directors along with Jim to assist families in their time of need. (We will introduce Abbi in a future post, but you can also see more about her and Pielhop Funeral Homes on our website) www.pielhop.com

The Sippel Funeral Homes website is currently being migrated over to the Pielhop Funeral Homes website: www.pielhop.com You will most likely still receive email notifications if you are currently signed up, but if for some reason you do not, you can sign up for just New Holstein or just St. Cloud on our website in the next few days. The obituaries on the Sippel website will also be transferred over and available for years to come.

Eventually things will be closed on this page and will only appear on the Pielhop Funeral Homes page. Please click and like or follow us for future updates.

Thank you Jim & Helen for trusting us to continue with your businesses. We know you have dedicated the last 30 years to this area and the amazing people that live here. Your commitment will not be forgotten.

Sincerely,
Sarah & Jason Pielhop
