About Us

Our History

Donna and Walt Henderson grew up and married in Des Moines, Iowa. They traveled while Walt was in the Army and settled in Atlanta, GA.

Donna obtained her degree in Funeral service from Gupton-Jones College. She apprenticed and was employed as a lead funeral director and office manager at one of Atlanta's top funeral firms, Alfonso Dawson Mortuary.

They returned to Des Moines in 2002 and opened Henderson's Highland Park Funeral Service. Together they have the benefit of over 50 years of experience in quality funeral service passed on by mentors in Atlanta.
