Past and present

Olinger Funeral & Cremation - Chapel Hill was built in 1992 and held its 1st funeral service on February 11, 1993. Although it no longer has the original stained-glass window, the focal point of the funeral home chapel is a wall of windows that offers breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains.

Olinger Funeral & Cremation - Chapel Hill has seen a series of renovations and updates that give the funeral home a modern, up-to-date look that appeals to our community.
