Berks Family Business Alliance Storytelling Series to Feature Kuhn Funeral Homes

From Greater Reading Chamber Alliance

Join the Berks Family Business Alliance (FBA), a signature program of the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance (GRCA), for the first installment of its 2026 FBA Storytelling Series on Thursday, Feb. 19, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., at the Edward J. Kuhn Funeral Home, 739 Penn Ave., West Reading, as it pulls back the curtain on a profession many are fascinated by — but rarely get to explore.

“Life, Death & Business: The Kuhn Family Story” features the Kuhn family, who will share what it’s really like to build, grow, and pass down a funeral home business across generations.

From navigating deeply personal moments with families, to balancing legacy with modernization, to working side-by-side in a business centered on life’s most inevitable reality, the Kuhns will offer an honest, behind-the-scenes look at their family enterprise — beyond the stereotypes and into the realities.

Edward Kuhn Jr., Michael Kuhn, Rachel Kuhn, and Michael Kuhn Jr. will provide multi-generational perspectives on leadership, succession, and sustaining a business where trust and compassion are everything.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions during a Q&A and continue the conversation during post-program networking.

Registration is required. Cost is $35.00 for GRCA members and $50.00 for future GRCA members. Tickets include coffee, a continental breakfast, networking, and a presentation. Register at greaterreading.org.

Wish my town had a channel like this, very cool idea to bring the community together and give people a platform.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
