Foust Funeral Home in Eagle Grove moving to new, larger location

Chad and Lisa Foust, owners of Foust Funeral Home, are excited to announce that they have purchased the Eagle Grove United Church of Christ (UCC). Their plans are to completely remodel the facility to serve as a bigger, more easily accessible funeral home establishment.

If all goes according to plan, they will be operational at the new location before the end of the year.

The couple said it’s been in the making for the last two or so years, on and off, but the congregation just wasn’t quite ready for the change...until a few months ago. A declining membership at the church left them realizing that if they could work out an agreement with Chad and Lisa, perhaps having the funeral home take over ownership would be the best answer for everyone.

For the Fousts, it meant their investment in remodeling the building would give them not only more physical space so people paying their respects wouldn’t have to stand out in the cold or extreme heat, but more parking, a onelevel easy-entry building, and a Chapel.

“The bulk of people still hold funeral services at the church, but we are seeing more and more that want an alternative,” said Chad.

The Chapel will provide that option.

For the UCC congregation, it meant still being able to come to church in their Chapel, but not having to worry about all of the upkeep and expenses of the facility.

“It’s really going to work well,” said Chad. “The congregation has been very accommodating so far...and they will still have a place for service.”
