Our Story

The history of Dobmeier Funeral Home dates back to 1907 when the original building was known as the Charles Oliver mansion. In 1958, Don and Margaret Dobmeier purchased the Collins Funeral Home, operating the funeral business from the main and lower levels while raising their family in the upstairs living area. For the next thirty years, they served Barnesville and the surrounding area in a manner that was second to none. During this time, they were featured twice in national trade journals for their seminars and teachings in the fields of grief, thanatology and death. Upon their retirement in 1988, their son, John Dobmeier, and his wife, Terry, purchased the funeral home and continued the tradition of excellence for the next twenty-three years, also raising their family in the landmark facility. In 2011, Dobmeier Funeral Home was purchased by Thomas Vertin, third-generation funeral director from Breckenridge, MN, whose belief is deeply rooted in providing exceptional service to families and in the importance of communities being served by a local funeral home. In November 2012, Duane Morey returned to his hometown and became the manager of Dobmeier; interestingly, Duane's desire to enter the funeral profession stemmed from a high school tour of the funeral home that John Dobmeier and Gayle Solum, a former teacher, guided.

In recent years, many changes in funeral service signaled it was time to invest in updates that would better meet the needs and expectations of today’s families. Altering the name to Dobmeier Funeral & Cremation Service lets families know that, in addition to burial, cremation is a type of disposition service they provide in cooperation with a shared crematory facility in Fergus Falls. Families have more arrangement possibilities with a new funeral home facility that features a welcoming lobby, a central chapel, and several gathering areas of various sizes. Also, technology enhancements now allow for high-quality video tributes, flexibility for viewing a service from other seating locations, and webcasting. The building is completely accessible, and there is generous off-street parking.

The dedicated staff at Dobmeier Funeral & Cremation Service is proud to continue their outstanding legacy of care for the years to come. At Dobmeier, “Your Story Matters.”
