In 1876 a cemetery was set up; until then the dead had to be brought to Gunzenhausen, the funeral hall was added around 1900. From 1876 to 1878, the Ablasskapelle, first mentioned in 1460 and destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1632 , was rebuilt, with the ruins being reused. In 2003 the Oberasbach parish moved from the Gunzenhausen parish to the Unterasbach parish.
