Four generations ago, Chad Riemann's family entered funeral service on the MS Gulf Coast. It was in downtown Gulfport where his family purchased their first business, Wilder Funeral Home. The next 70 years led his family to expand their service area throughout Harrison and Hancock County by offering Superior Service and convenience. In 1990, Chad's family formed a partnership with the Loewen Grp Intl. This partnership offered more services, capital for facilities, and benefits for staff members, while still allowing the Riemann family to retain ownership in the business and continue to manage the business. In 1995, Chad Riemann, followed his family heritage by joining his father, David, and his Uncle, Mike, in the Riemann Funeral Homes in partnership with Loewen.

In 1999, the Loewen Grp Intl filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection. At this point, the partnership formed in 1990 with the Riemann family was dissolved. Two years later, Loewen emerged from bankruptcy as the Alderwoods Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation with corporate offices in Cincinnati and Canada. From 2001 until 2005, The Alderwoods Group Inc., operated the Riemann Funeral Homes and/or Riemann Memorial Funeral Homes as a part of its corporate structure. David, Mike and Chad Riemann continued to work as part of the Riemann Funeral Homes until September 30, 2005. At that time they left Alderwoods Group, Inc. including Riemann Funeral Homes and Riemann Memorial Funeral Homes. Alderwoods Group Inc. continues to operate Riemann Memorial Funeral Homes as part of its group.

In October of 2005, Chad decided to begin a new local funeral home, just as his great grandparents did in 1920, and established Gulf Coast Funeral Homes, Inc., a Mississippi corporation.

Gulf Coast Funeral Homes' first location was opened in the DeLisle community. Although located in DeLisle, the funeral home served families from Moss Point to Poplarville in its first month. This support has allowed Gulf Coast to begin construction on its second facility located at Three Rivers Road and Dedeaux Road in Gulfport. In the near future, the service that families on the Coast have grown to trust in Chad Riemann and his family will be more convenient than ever as we strive to serve each community on the Coast.
