Legacy

Beyond a service, we're committed to helping families create lasting tributes that transcend generations.

Our story

As one of the oldest and most recognizable landmarks in the area, Leesman Funeral Homes is a stately ode to Dupo history. Established in 1896 by Clarence S. Dashner, our funeral home has evolved greatly over the years to accommodate the evolving needs of our community. Yet our commitment to service remains the same. Even as we modernize our services and facilities, we stay true to our belief that honoring and celebrating life is deeply sacred and personal.
