About Hanson-Runsvold
History
Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home has been active in serving families in the Fargo-Moorhead and surrounding area since the 1920's. Originally the Hanson Funeral Home was located on Roberts Street and Fourth Avenue North. Long-time businessman, O. J. Hanson, founded it after World War I. Shortly after World War II, J. D. Runsvold purchased the business from the Hanson family and retained the Hanson name. J. D. was active in the business for many years with his son, James D. Runsvold, and Neal S. Bradburn. In 1960, construction of a new, modern funeral home started at the current location near Island Park on Seventh Street South and continues to operate under the direction of John D. Runsvold, third generation funeral director.
We still believe in traditional values: personal service, quality, honesty, loyalty, trust and dedication. Knowing that the details make the difference, the skilled professional staff of Hanson-Runsvold is dedicated to making each funeral personalized so the ceremony can help families look to the future with hope.
Our competent and professional staff at Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home is recognized and respected for their specialized services and skills in caring for your family's needs. We have the experience, training and understanding for the proper counseling of the emotions and adjustment of the bereaved.
