Funeral service in Detroit Lakes goes back almost as far as the community itself. Records at the funeral home date back to February of 1904, when the funeral home was operated by Jesse Nunn. Mr. Nunn's firm was later acquired by Herbert Englund, who changed the name to Englund Funeral Home. During the early years, the funeral home was operated in conjunction with the Englund Furniture Company, and was located on Washington Avenue.
Our staff is comprised of dedicated and licensed professionals with the experience to answer all your questions regarding our services. Please feel free to contact any of our staff members at any time. Lynn was born and raised in Andover, Minnesota. She went on to attend Minnesota State Community and Technical College in Detroit Lakes, graduating with a Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) Degree.
David-Donehower Funeral & Cremation Service is located on Highway 10, on the east side of beautiful Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. We are extremely proud of our new facility, completed in July of 2012. It offers a warm, inviting atmosphere for family and friends to gather for a variety of reasons, including visitations, funerals and post-funeral gatherings.
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your wishes and desires.

Unprofessional have had to make repeated phone calls to schedule my father's funeral failed to call with his death certificates. They failed to do any type of follow through on anything. Lynn Drew's my funeral director blame staffing shortages and another staff member for all the delays and problems. Would strongly not recommend them. This same company operates many others funeral homes in the area be careful.

I would not recommend this funeral home, my mother passed away 2 months ago, I wasnt offered anything memorialized, I STILL dont even have the paperwork I signed, called repeatedly & still didnt receive a call back. Very upset with how I was treated & still am since this was the 2nd time I had to call this week to speak with my director, I dont understand why I wasnt given the options to buy a urn or candle or ANYTHING!!! I also find it funny in the description for this business it says " continue to provide support after the Service" when I didnt even get support & still haven't.

I have been amazed at the total care we have gotten from the team at David-Donehower. From our family's first need in 2008 till through our latest need in 2018, they have been by our side. Great comfort was offered before, during, and after the death of our loved ones. I felt it has been "over the top" of what I could have ever expected.
