Headley Funeral Chapel is Augusta’s only locally owned and operated funeral home. Of our two competitors in Augusta, both
are owned by the same corporation outside of Butler County. This corporation also owns many other funeral homes.
Zeiner Funeral Homes, Inc. out of Marion, owns 8 funeral homes:
Dunsford-Zeiner Funeral Home in Augusta; Dunford-Zeiner West Chapel (formerly Hillside Funeral Home) in Augusta;Zeiner
Funeral Home in Marion and Florence; Olson's Mortuary in Canton; Miller Funeral Home in Goessel and Hesston; and Lamb Funeral
Home in Whitewater.
We remain focused on Augusta!
We believe local ownership is very important.
Local ownership enables us to be more receptive to the needs of the families we are honored to serve. Our primary goal
is to serve the community we are a part of, not to serve the financial needs of a group of investors or stockholders.
Local ownership allows us to respond to your individual needs and special requests without having to seek approval from
corporate headquarters or a board of directors.
Local ownership means the dollars you spend here stay in Augusta and support the Augusta community. Our dedication to the
community is reflected in our contributions to and involvement in school, church, business, and civic activities. We live
and raise our family here, and are committed to our community.
