Rasmusson-Ryan Funeral Home & Crematory

Rasmusson-Ryan Funeral Home & Crematory Rasmusson-Ryan Funeral Home & Crematory is a family owned funeral home serving Nevada and Maxwell and surrounding communities.

Rasmusson-Ryan Funeral Home is located in Nevada and Maxwell, Iowa and also serves the surrounding communities. We are a family owned and operated funeral home offering traditional burial services, cremation services, and monument sales. Our funeral home in Nevada was originally known as the Cooper-Ryan Funeral Home that was located on Lincoln Highway. Robert Bacon purchased the funeral home in 1997 and the business became known as Bacon Funeral Home. Rob maintained that facility until November of 2004 when the new fully handicap accessible funeral home was built at 1418 Fawcett Parkway in the Nevada Business Park. That facility was the first funeral home in Story County to offer on-site cremation. Our Maxwell location dates back to the 1890's and was started by the Cooper Family as a furniture and undertaking business. The Coopers continuously operated that funeral home until the sale to Robert Bacon in 1997. In 2015, Robert built a 3000 square foot addition to the Maxwell location to make it fully handicap accessible and accommodate more guests. In January of 2016, Robert sold both funeral homes to Justin Rasmusson. Both funeral homes were then known as Rasmusson-Bacon Funeral Home & Crematory. In March of 2019, Rasmusson purchased Ryan Funeral Home in Nevada. The name was changed to Rasmusson-Ryan Funeral Home & Crematory. Please contact us with any questions regarding traditional funerals, cremation services, monument sales, preplanning or transferring your preplan or existing arrangements. A licensed funeral director is available 24/7 to assist you. Rasmusson-Ryan Funeral Home & Crematory
