About Us

Dahn and Woodhouse Funeral Homes began in Scranton, Iowa in the early 1930's. The funeral home in Scranton was started by the Huffman family. The Huffmans soon opened funeral homes in Lake City, Glidden, and Carroll. In 1962 Robert D. Woodhouse and Merle Dahn purchased the funeral homes from the Huffmans however, the Huffman family retained the Lake City location. Merle and Dorothy Dahn were in partnership with the Woodhouses until 1971 when they moved to Scottsdale, Arizona. Jay R. Woodhouse began to work with his father in the business his sophomore year in high school. He then graduated from the University of Nebraska and the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service and returned home to work in the family business. Our funeral home prides itself on kind, caring, and courteous service to all the families we serve. We take great pride in our funeral homes and we feel that the preparation of each deceased is our true calling and greatest attribute. We are here to help all families regardless of their financial situation and we gladly help families of all religious backgrounds with dignity and care. Dahn and Woodhouse Funeral Homes proudly serves Carroll, Coon Rapids, Glidden, Manning, Scranton and all surrounding communities. When a death occurs away from your home and you desire to have services back home, please give us a call to arrange for the care and transportation of your loved one back to the area.
