About Us
On August 13, 1935, Minor B. Steele purchased the property from Jim Lee to establish the first funeral home in Loup City, marking the beginning of a longstanding tradition of care and service to the community. Over the years, the funeral home has seen changes in ownership, and in November 1997, Mark and Deb Higgins became the current owners. By January 1998, Higgins Funeral Home officially opened under their guidance, continuing to provide compassionate and professional funeral services to families throughout the area. The Higgins family takes great pride in offering a local facility for funerals and visitations, with a variety of options to personalize each service according to the wishes and needs of the families they serve.
Mark Higgins was born and raised in Central City, Nebraska, and went on to attend Doane College before graduating from the Kansas City, Kansas Community College Mortuary Science Program in 1989. His commitment to community service is evident in his work as an EMT with the Loup City Ambulance Squad, his active membership at the Loup City United Methodist Church, and his volunteer efforts on numerous local boards and organizations. Mark is also a dedicated member of the Nebraska Funeral Directors Association and contributes his time coaching at the Loup City Schools. Mark and his wife Deb have one son, Mitchell, and 2 grandchildren. Deb is branch manager at Citizens Bank in Loup City. Together, the Higgins family remains deeply committed to supporting their community during life’s most challenging moments.
