I n 1956, Harvey Techtman and Ole Myrhum purchased the Kapfer and Gehl Funeral Home and Funiture Store from Frank Gehl, founding Techtman - Myrhum Funeral Home and Furniture Store. They also operated a 24-hour ambulance service.

In 1966, they opened a new facility for Techtman - Myrhum Funeral Home at our current location on Washington Street in West Bend.

After Harvey Techtman's retirement, Ole Myrhum continued to operate the funeral home as Myrhum Funeral Home, with his son, Charles Myrhum, who joined the firm in 1975.
