Williams Funeral Home, which began as the Tschumperlin Funeral Home, has been serving Central Minnesota since 1873. Bernard E. "Barney" Williams purchased the funeral home in 1948 from Al J. Tschumperlin and it has been in the Williams family since that time. In 1967 Thomas J. Williams joined his father in the business and in 1978 took over ownership and operation of the Williams Funeral Homes. In the fall of 2008 the Williams and Dingmann families partnered to form Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Homes.
We would like to thank the many families we have been privileged to serve over the years. We value your continued trust and confidence in us as Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Homes now under the ownership of: Tom Williams, Deb Dingmann and Doug Dingmann.
