History:
There has been a funeral home in Bolivar since the middle 1800's

The first funeral home was owned by the Helwick Family and was also a casket and furniture manufacturing company

In the early 1900's the funeral business, along with the casket & furniture store was sold to the Helwick's son-in-law Sam Shew and the funeral home became known as the Shew Funeral Home.

In the 30's Kermit Lebold attended Mortuary School in Cleveland and received his Funeral Director and Embalmers License.

After WWII Kermit Lebold started to work for Sam Shew in the funeral business and in 1947 purchased part of the business and later after Sam's death purchased the entire funeral home.

The name was changed shortly after to the Lebold Funeral Home.
