Retz Funeral Home

Retz Funeral Home, located at 519 N 1st Street in Greene, Iowa, has been a cornerstone of compassionate end-of-life care for families in Butler County and the surrounding North Central Iowa communities. Though now operating in close association with Woodley Funeral Home and Crematory—a respected network serving Hampton, Iowa Falls, Allison, Dumont, Greene, Sheffield, and Thornton—Retz Funeral Home retains its own identity as a trusted provider of dignified funeral and cremation services. The facility itself is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible entrance and on-site parking, ensuring that all visitors can attend services comfortably and without barriers.

Retz Funeral Home offers a comprehensive range of services designed to honor every life with respect and personalization. Families can choose from traditional burial services, cremation with a variety of memorial options, and tailored ceremonies that reflect the unique personality and beliefs of their loved one. The on-site amenities include a welcoming space for visitations, funerals, and memorial gatherings, staffed by experienced funeral directors who guide families through every step of the planning process with professionalism and empathy.

In addition to immediate funeral needs, Retz Funeral Home encourages pre-planning, allowing individuals to make their own arrangements in advance—relieving loved ones of decision-making burdens during a time of grief. Pre-planning options cover everything from service type and casket selection to memorialization through monuments and markers. The funeral home also partners with local monument makers to provide lasting tributes such as headstones and grave markers.

As part of the Woodley Funeral Home family, Retz Funeral Home benefits from a shared commitment to excellence, with access to a locally owned crematory (coming soon) and a team of dedicated professionals who serve multiple locations. This network allows for seamless coordination of services and a depth of resources while maintaining the personalized care that families in Greene have come to expect.

Whether honoring a life well-lived through a traditional ceremony or a modern celebration of life, Retz Funeral Home provides a serene, respectful environment where memories are shared and healing begins. The staff’s dedication to serving every family with dignity and compassion ensures that each service is a meaningful tribute to the life that was lived.
