History

Established in the 30s, Kahler-Dolce Mortuary has been serving Papillion, neighboring communities and Sarpy County for over 80 years. Throughout the years, families have trusted us to provide exactly what they need and honor their loved ones with services that uniquely reflect their lives. Our communities have placed their confidence in us when it comes to honoring their loved ones' wishes.

The mortuary was founded in the 30s by Bill Claire and operated as the Claire Mortuary. In 1946, James and Louise Kahler purchased the business and changed the name to the Kahler Mortuary. In 1976, John and Mary Dolce bought the mortuary from the Kahlers and changed the name to Kahler-Dolce Mortuary. We continue to operate in our original location in downtown Papillion. We’re a proud member of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers.

James Kahler began with a commitment to a high standard of service. Throughout our history, we have continued to lead and innovate while maintaining that high standard. Everyone at Kahler-Dolce Mortuary is proud to uphold this heritage and commitment to our community.

Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"This was our first experience with Kahler/Dolce Mortuary for our wonderful Mother. Our Father was done at a different mortuary. Kahler/Dolce was by far more caring, interested in our loved one, interested in the details of our needs and just overall showed so much more kindness towards our family. I would HIGHLY recommend Kahler/Dolce to handle one of the most difficult arrangements you will ever have to make for your loved one. This group of people are who you would want to lead you through this emotional time in your lives. We felt fortunate & blessed to have our Mom in the hands of caring people. Thank you. The Holdcroft Family"

"Attentive to details and if not quite right,they made it right. When the casket covering came in they noticed something was not quite and they sure that it looked perfect. Emily was on top of everything. Their support was appreciated."
