History
Justice C. Pfetzing
moved to Havana, Illinois from Hanover, Germany in 1857. He was a
cabinetmaker and undertaker. He had ten children, two of which,
Oscar and
Henry Pfetzing, carried on the funeral
service. Oscar had two daughters. The eldest daughter, Bula,
married Grover Hurley and had two sons. These two sons,
Richard
and E. Jay Hurley purchased the funeral
home in Havana. After WWII, in 1946, they purchased another funeral
home in Petersburg.
In 1971, Richard's son, Jerry Hurley,
joined the firm. In 1997, the Cain Funeral Home in Mason City was
purchased from Don and Lorena Cain. In January of 2000, the Styninger
Funeral Homes in Mason City, San Jose and Greenview were acquired. In
May of 2000,
Michael J. Hurley, the son of Jerry and
Janis Hurley, graduated from the University of Minnesota Program of Mortuary
Science. He then joined the family firm to to become the fifth
generation of funeral directors. In 2006, Lintner Funeral Home in
Chandlerville was added, and is now known as Lintner-Hurley Funeral Home.

and share pictures of their special times together with friends and family.
The Kodak kiosk will be available during
regular business hours and during evening visitations. Our helpful staff will be
on hand to assist with any questions or concerns that you may have, when
printing your photos.
At this time we offer five different print
size options, as well as Kodak Picture CDs, for those who choose to burn their
picture files to a disk. All prints can
be either processed while you wait or picked up at a later time.

note that this does not replace the important steps of speaking to your family
and to your funeral director about your wishes, but it will give you a good
guide to the information that you will need to provide to them.

Havana location, and plan to add this to our other locations in the
