Strate Funeral Home

Strate Funeral Home, located at 505 10th Street in Davenport, Washington, has been a cornerstone of compassionate end-of-life care for the community since 1962. With a rich history dating back to 1929, the business originated in Odessa, Washington, as Strate's Furniture and Funeral Home, a common combination in small towns of that era. Founder Henry H. Strate added funeral services to his furniture business, and the family later operated an ambulance service. After World War II, Henry's older son Glen and his wife Lela took over the funeral business and moved it to Davenport in 1954. In 1960, they purchased the former Fred Campbell home on 10th Street, moved the house back to create parking, and reopened the funeral home in 1962. Over the years, Strate Funeral Home expanded, acquiring Scharbach Funeral Home in Wilbur and Grand Coulee Funeral Home in Coulee in 1987, and now operates three locations under the Strate name. The business has been led by multiple generations, with Don Strate taking over after Glen's death in 1992, and Lela retiring in 1995. Don retired in March 2015, but the funeral homes continue their tradition of excellent service, built over more than 80 years.
