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.

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.

4x6 print  $.29

5x7 print $.79

This is a pdf. form that can be filled out on your computer and printed at your convenience. *Please 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. 
6/10/2008 - We are currently offering pet loss products at our Havana location, and  plan to add this to our other locations in the future. This selection includes pet urns and cremation jewelry, caskets, sympathy cards, picture frames and garden memorial stones.
