                         Tuesday, July 30, 2019

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Meierhoffer Funeral Home and Crematory in St. Joseph, Missouri, as it 
celebrates its 125th anniversary.
  For one hundred twenty-five years and five generations, the 
Meierhoffer Family has been there for people. For grieving families, 
for widows and children, Meierhoffer Funeral Home has been there. The 
Meierhoffers, with kindness, empathy and a quiet presence are able to 
bring calm to the chaos of raw nerves and frayed emotions. They are 
able to help others make peace and help families begin the process of 
healing from a loss. People say that having a good funeral home is like 
having a good lawyer. You never want to have to call them, but when you 
do have to make that call, you are always glad that they are there. I 
and all of St. Joseph, are eternally grateful that for over a century 
the Meierhoffer Funeral Home has been there.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing 
Meierhoffer Funeral Home and Crematory for one hundred twenty-five 
years of serving the people of St. Joseph, Missouri. I am honored to 
have such a long-standing family business in the Sixth Congressional 
District of Missouri and to represent the Meierhoffer Family in the 
United States Congress.
