Dallas was amazing! I didn’t have a clue on what all I needed for my husband’s final arrangements & he walked me through every step. Also worked really hard to keep me within my budget. Gunderson’s even checked in to see how we were doing after the funeral, which I thought was very sweet. Would recommend them to anyone!!

My husband passed away February 24 of COVID. Every staff member was very sincere and helpful throughout the planning of my husband’s funeral and even after. They would call and ask if there was anything they could do to help me throughout my grieving. I appreciated their care of my husband and the kindness they showed me and my family throughout this time.

>I had excellent service with Gunderson staff.
My husband died Christmas Eve and they were very efficient to pick up the body, gave me encouraging words, gave me a delayed time for meeting with them, and took care of all graveside details. I very much appreciated the after care work sheet provided and they went over and above my expectations. I would request their services without hesitation. Nina

Gunderson Funeral Home staff in Fort Dodge, Iowa did an outstanding job in April 2020 overseeing my mother's funeral preparation and graveside burial service. They were there for my brother and me in helping relieve the stress we were under since both of us could not safely travel back to Iowa due to the pandemic. They will assist in our family graveside vigil this Summer.

All of the staff are professional and caring at Gunderson Funeral Home which helped us through a very difficult time. Our Mom passed at the very beginning of the Covid Pandemic, so it was all different and unknown for every one. They helped guide us through it all with care and concern so we were able to honor our Mom with a private service and burial, and also kept everyone safe for a public visitation. Exceptional service for every detail during one of the hardest times of my life.

They made the grieving process a little easier. Dallas and his entire team were more than helpful and explained everything to us. Helped me and my family decide what would be best without pressuring us to do things we didn’t want. They allowed us to do my mothers hair and make up ourselves which was so thoughtful of them to let us be apart of that moment. A few weeks after my mother’s service the staff here at Gunderson reached out to me to see how me and the family were doing during such a hard time for us, that is something I did not expect and I truly appreciated it from the bottom of my

Everyone at Gunderson made such a tragic situation as stress-free and simple as possible. The amount of empathy, kindness and patience we received by Dallas Wall just made the experience one we can never show the amount of gratitude for that he deserves. Dallas was very thorough, never rushing us through and accommodating to all of our needs. Thank you again to Dallas and the rest of the staff for taking care of my entire family at this very difficult time.

The staff at Gunderson Funeral Home is not only very professional but, most of all, they are our friends who show compassion and caring like none other. Kevin Rogers, Phil Gunderson and others walked with us through the planning and decisions needing to be made after the passing of my mother-in-law in January 2020. When you’re consumed by the grief of losing a loved one, they provide exceptional care, concern and help make the journey a little easier!

What a beautiful service this afternoon at A Time for Angels. I have been going to this service every year since 2011 with my Mom after my Dad passed in July of 2011. A time to reflect on wonderful memories of your love ones. The angels that they give to each family is something that I proudly display in my home all year long. Thank you to the Gunderson family for doing this each year.
