In The Beginning

William E. Dugan died in 1969. His son, William F. (Bill) Dugan, had been a Funeral Director in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and in 1974 purchased the firm from Bob Lattin and Art Chambers and moved to Fremont. Art Chambers died in the Pathfinder Hotel explosion in 1976. Bob Lattin retired in 1979. He died in 1993.

In 1975, Lattin-Dugan-Chambers Funeral Home moved to its present location at 8th and Lincoln Avenue. In 2006, Bill C. Dugan became a licensed funeral director and moved back to Fremont. To celebrate three generations of service to the Fremont area, the funeral home name was changed to Dugan Funeral Chapel.
