Hickey Funeral Homes and Cremation Service

The Zahoran Funeral Home, Inc. was founded by Michael A. Zahoran in 1922 in Gary, Indiana. Mr. Zahoran moved his funeral business to South Bend, Indiana in October of 1924, at 1830 Kemble Avenue, which was also the family home. Mr. Zahoran was influential among the people of Hungarian decent. He was a very active participant in civic, community, and church affairs. Mrs. Anna Zahoran was also a funeral director and served as President until her death in 1985. Mr. Zahoran's three sons-in-law followed in his footsteps and continued to operate the business. Mr. Francis Nowak served as Funeral Director and President for many years. The founder's grandson, Patrick Nowak, joined the firm in 1986 as a Funeral Director, and is currently President of Zahoran Funeral Home. With hard work through the years, we've earned the trust of families we have served and promised to make every effort to maintain the high level of services that Mr. Zahoran had established.
