There’s a baby boom at Oakcrest and we couldn’t be happier! 💙

Jenni and Sharon recently welcomed their baby boys, Nash Lesher and Wyatt Kluender, making them both first-time mamas. We can’t wait for baby visits at the office and to watch these little guys grow in the years ahead. Congratulations to both of these sweet new families!

We often serve families who are unsure if the person who died would want a funeral or any kind of gathering, especially when they never felt tied to a church or used to shrug and say, "Skip the fuss." We understand that.

We also see how even a small gathering or ritual can open the door to connection in ways that surprise people. Those simple moments often stand out later because they felt honest, personal, and exactly right for the family. If you'd like to talk through options, our team is ready to listen and guide you.

When someone dies, the whole community seems to move a little closer. A neighbor shows up with a mower, cousins catch the first flight they can, and people you haven’t seen in years stop by to lend a hand. Those simple acts of kindness remind us how much care lives right here around us.
How has your family felt supported by neighbors and friends during a loss?

"Can we plan a funeral service with cremation?" Yes.

Cremation gives you flexibility with timing and format, but you can still have a traditional service if that feels right for your family. Some families hold a service with the body present before cremation, while others prefer a memorial after cremation with the urn present. Both are meaningful. We help you plan what honors your loved one best.

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
