Amos and Ruth Van Etten opened a funeral home and ambulance service in 1932, operating out of a store front on the northside of Windmill Park in Orange City. Three years later, in 1935, they moved the funeral home to their residence on the corner of Arizona Avenue and First Street Northwest in Orange City.

Every civilization that has ever been discovered has developed ceremonies that take place after the death of a member. These ceremonies commemorate and celebrate the life that has been lived. They also create an atmosphere for sharing with each other and supporting the surviving family. In addition, ceremonies reaffirm the religious beliefs of the deceased person and society as a whole.
Many families are concerned about funeral costs, and rightly so. Funerals are expensive, just like everything else. That's because funeral homes are subject to the same increases in costs as other businesses. Funeral prices increase about the same rate as inflation. We serve families in many different financial situations, from those receiving assistance to those who are very wealthy.
Most of the families we serve prefer to bury the remains of their loved ones in a cemetery. Cremation is another way of disposing of human remains. It consists of reducing the body to small skeletal fragments, by subjecting the body to intense heat for several hours in a cremation chamber. These fragments are then pulverized, so they resemble ashes, and placed in a container, usually an urn.
