Licensed Funeral Directors & Embalmers

Welcome! My name is Brian Schlosser, and my wife, Jenn and I are the proud owners of Schlosser Funeral Home & Cremation Services.

I was raised just outside Wapakoneta, where I grew up with my parents and twin sister.  She and I graduated from Wapakoneta Senior High in 1997.  Following high school I attended Wright State University-Lake Campus in Celina completing the necessary requirements to attend mortuary school.  I then transferred to Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science in spring of 2000.  While attending college there, I lived in Newport, Kentucky and worked for Muehlenkamp-Erschell Funeral Homes.  After receiving my Bachelor of Mortuary Science degree in the summer of 2001, I started my career as a licensed funeral director and embalmer back home in Wapakoneta.  In September of 2001, I joined the St. Johns Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department where I currently serve as Fire Chief volunteering my time as a Level-1 Firefighter and E.M.T. I am also a member of the Wapakoneta Lions Club and the Wapakoneta Service Club where I was president in 2013.  I have also served as a board member for the United Way of Auglaize County being President in 2017, Local Emergency Planning Commission (L.E.P.C.) and the Wapakoneta Chamber of Commerce where I served as President in 2013. For six years, I worked at the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office as an Emergency Dispatcher, where I was honored as Dispatcher of the Year for 2008.  In November of 2015 I was elected as the Fiscal Officer for Pusheta Township, Auglaize County.  Most recently I was appointed to the Board of Directors for Grand Lake Health System / Joint Township District Memorial Hospital.

My wife, Jenn grew up in Lima and graduated from Lima Central Catholic High School in 2004.  She attended Southern Illinois University before transferring to Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science where she graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2007.  While there she lived and worked at Tufts-Schildmeyer Family Funeral Homes in Loveland.  Following graduation, she returned home to begin her career as a licensed funeral director and embalmer with Chiles-Laman Funeral Homes, Lima.  We were married August 16, 2008 at St. Paul U.C.C. in Wapakoneta.  Jenn is currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Ohio Funeral Directors Association as the North West Regional Director and is co-chairing the Young Funeral Directors Committee.  She is also an avid donor for the American Red Cross and occasionally volunteers for the drives held at St. Joseph Catholic Church. 

We live just outside of Wapakoneta near Fryburg and attend St. Joseph Catholic Church, where Jenn serves on Parish Council and Brian serves as an usher.  My son, Johnathon, graduated from Wapakoneta Senior High in 2017 and served in the United States Marine Corps.  from 2018-2022. He and his wife, Tessa, live in Columbus Grove. We are also the proud parents of a son, Brody and two daughters, Jill and Joan.
