Services
Good Shepherd structures services to accommodate both immediate needs and advance planning, with particular attention to families seeking affordable options. Their cremation services explicitly include choices for public gatherings and permanent memorialization, not just direct disposition.
Good Shepherd Funeral Home operates as a locally owned, family-run business serving Omaha and surrounding Douglas County communities from two locations: 4712 S 82nd Street and 3809 N 90th Street. The funeral home distinguishes itself through a stated mission of minimizing funeral costs rather than maximizing profit, aiming to help families navigate loss without causing financial hardship.
Owner Mike Hoy brings a distinctive background to funeral service, having spent ten years in Iowa law enforcement—including time as a state trooper and in criminal investigations—before returning to his early passion for funeral service. He began working in funeral homes at age fourteen in Council Bluffs, Iowa. This blend of public service experience and lifelong funeral industry commitment shapes the home's approach to serving families during difficult times.
The funeral home emphasizes providing choices to families and allowing them to make decisions that fit their specific funeral budget, positioning itself as an alternative to larger corporate-owned operations.
