Easter has always been a holiday about gathering, and your family probably has traditions that go back generations. The same ham recipe, the same hiding spots for eggs, the same pew at the same church your grandmother attended. These rituals hold a family together, and they carry the fingerprints of everyone who came before you.

🌺We hope your Easter is full of good food and familiar faces this year. If someone is missing from yours, we're thinking of you.

When someone dies, families often feel unsure about what to do next, and a funeral helps because it gives everyone a set time to gather and support one another. People remember the person they loved together, and emotions feel a little easier to carry because no one is holding them alone. You don't have to make every decision right away, because we'll sit with you, talk through the options, and help you choose what feels right for your family, whether you're planning ahead or facing a loss now.

"Can I be buried with my pet?"

Pets are family too, and this question comes up more often than you might think. Some cemeteries allow cremated pet remains to be buried with their owner, while others have restrictions, and a few even have dedicated sections for people and pets together. If this matters to you, talk with us during planning, and we’ll help you find a cemetery that honors that wish. 🐾💙

You served our country and earned funeral benefits that honor your sacrifice, but the paperwork and requirements can feel overwhelming. You're facing forms to complete, rules to follow, and timelines to meet, and it's hard to know where to start or what you actually qualify for.

We've worked with veterans and their families for years, and we consider it a privilege to help. We'll sit down with you to walk through what benefits your service includes, and from the flag presentation to cemetery options, we'll help you arrange everything with the dignity and respect you deserve.

Contact us at 515-295-3731 and we'll figure it out together.

Our Family, Here for Your Family

Welcome to Oakcrest Funeral Services. Our funeral home has been a family owned and operated business since 1923. Families have been placing their trust in us for generations, and we are proud to continue that tradition. Owners, Vic Garry (3rd generation funeral director) and Brian Schaaf (2nd generation funeral director) continue the legacy their fathers and original partners have built. We take great pride in serving Algona and our surrounding communities, and truly treat every family like our own. Outstanding service has always been, and always will be our number one priority.

Through the years, we have added several team members that specialize in funeral service, pre-arrangement, aftercare, monuments and memorial items. We invite you to learn more about us, our services and the resources we have to provide you with peace of mind that your family will be our top priority.

We are proud of our tradition and continue the same mission of our founding partners – to treat each funeral with the utmost respect and commit ourselves to helping families honor the memories.

~ Brian Schaaf and Vic Garry
