ONE OF OTTAWA’S BEST KNOWN NAMES IN THE FUNERAL SERVICE BUSINESS HAS BEEN SOLD TO A TOPEKA COMPANY. NEWCOMER FUNERAL SERVICE GROUP HAS ANNOUNCED IT HAS ACQUIRED DENGEL AND SON MORTUARIES IN OTTAWA, PAOLA, AND LOUISBURG.
THE DENGEL FAMILY HAS SERVED THE OTTAWA AREA SINCE 1944, LED MOST RECENTLY BY THIRD-GENERATION FUNERAL DIRECTOR, CRAIG DENGEL, HIS WIFE CINDY, ALONG WITH THEIR SON CHASE. CRAIG DENGEL SAYS HIS FAMILY HAS BEEN HONORED TO SERVE GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREERS.
