A Century of Family-Owned Service in Northeast Iowa
Established in 1923, Hugeback-Johnson Funeral Home & Crematory has cared for Northeast Iowa families for 100 years. The firm carries a heritage that passed from the Chenoweth family through Gary Olson, whose name lives on in our Nashua Olson Chapel, to the Hugeback family and Drew Johnson, who lead the firm today. That continuity means the people serving your family live and work in the same communities you do.
What Sets Us Apart
Hugeback-Johnson Funeral Home & Crematory owns and operates its own on-site crematory. Because cremation is performed in our own facility, your loved one stays in our care from the first call through the return of the cremated remains, and is never transported to a third-party provider.
Hugeback-Johnson offers private local lodging for families traveling to Northeast Iowa for a service, so relatives can stay close, rest, and gather comfortably. Few funeral homes in the region provide this, and it reflects the firm’s focus on the whole family’s needs.
Care at Hugeback-Johnson continues after the service through a 360-day program of remembrance and grief support, so families are not left alone once the funeral ends. A licensed funeral director remains available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
