When you think about what makes a reliable funeral provider, words like “trust”, “experienced” and “caring” may come to mind; Hugeback-Johnson Funeral Homes, based in New Hampton, IA, embodies those qualities. For generations, they’ve served the area with personalized and dignified services for each family.
Priding themselves on the “family” aspects of their business, Hugeback-Johnson has been owned by only four families in its years of existence, with the Hugebacks purchasing the funeral home in the 80’s. “We take pride in that this is a family-owned and oriented business. My grandfather bought the business, and it’s been passed down through my dad and eventually to me and my brother-in-law,” said Andy Hugeback, funeral director for Hugeback-Johnson Funeral Homes.
With generations of experience, Hugeback said the funeral home offers unique and personalized services for each family they work with. “We learn about the person, and like finding ways to make the memorial special. We also do all of our own printing in-house - which is pretty uncommon for a funeral home - and do everything from personalized casket panels to larger 3x4 canvases,” Hugeback said.
Generations of experience has produced a caring environment, where families can sit with the Hugeback-Johnson team and plan funeral services that fit their needs. Hugeback says the arrangement staff is so patient and has a warm, natural way when meeting with a grieving family. “In the small community we live in, we like to make those connections with families we may know – it gives them more comfort to know us as people, and not just funeral directors,” Hugeback said.
Above all, he says it’s the dedication to detail and family-oriented care that makes Hugeback-Johnson Funeral Homes special. He says their care for the deceased is unmatched, and the family-focused atmosphere is at the forefront of the business. “I’ve never considered doing anything else, and it’s not really a job - it’s just what we do,” Hugeback said.
