We have a rich History of serving this community
October 22, 1922
Home Undertaking Company was founded and built at South and Pine streets in Redding. The original stockholders were L. Stanford Scott, Ollie Rose, William Stevens, James Wright, Roy Weekly, Harry W. Glover and H.S. Mossor.
1946
Home Undertaking Company was sold to Amos Melinger who operated the Melinger Mortuary at the original site until 1951. At that time, Mr. Dusel went into partnership with Mr. Melinger and the mortuary was known as Melinger & Dusel Mortuary.
1960
Mr. Robert Hesse purchased the original mortuary and eventually moved the business to its current Redding location on Eureka Way in December 1970.
1972
Hesse Funeral Chapel celebrated 50 years of mortuary service to Redding and surrounding areas.
1978
James Allen and Howard Dahl purchased the firm from Mr. Hesse, changing the name to Allen & Dahl Funeral Chapel.
1986
Allen & Dahl Funeral Chapel opened a chapel in nearby Anderson to serve residents in the Anderson and Cottonwood communities. In the 1980's, McDonald's Chapel in Redding, Anderson and Burney, Lawncrest Chapel and Memorial Park, and Redding Cemetery sold to a corporation headquartered in Texas. Our business grew substantially after that time and we added a new chapel in Palo Cedro in 1995.
