OUR STAFF

I was born and raised in Butte, Montana. After graduating from Mortuary Science School, I worked for years in funeral service in Great Falls. After taking a break in my career Irene and Mark asked me to move to Bozeman to work with them.

My partner Aaron and I enjoy everything about living in Montana from cross country skiing to riding snowmobiles and ATV’s.

Working with the team at Dahl’s has allowed me to return to my passion for taking care of the families who call for us to help them through an especially difficult time. I enjoy the challenge of creating services tailored to the needs of each family no matter how simple or involved. I also have a passion to share the knowledge that my experience has brought with the rest of our team.

Ray joined the Dahl team in June 2022. A Montana native, he spent his formative years in Great Falls before attending Montana State University in Bozeman. While at college in the late 1980s, Ray joined a volunteer fire department in South Bozeman that his grandfather helped establish. That led to an almost 30-year career in emergency services in several communities around Montana.

After retiring from the fire service, Ray went back to school, graduating cum laude from the American Academy McAllister Institute with a degree in Funeral Service and Mortuary Science.

Ray feels privileged to show up every day to help folks in their time of need by providing compassionate care and supportive guidance as they navigate the end of life wishes of their loved one.

I was born in Chicago, Illinois and graduated from Morton East High School in Cicero, Illinois. My husband Jim and I moved to Bozeman to enjoy the beautiful outdoor activities and have new experiences in the “second phase” of our lives, especially kayaking and camping.

In my job at Dahl’s, I am able to work with wonderful people doing what I love, administrative work and helping people through a difficult time in their life as well as a little hospitality setting up to celebrate a life well lived.

At Dahl’s I enjoy working with the families we serve to help them through a difficult and important time in their lives.

I grew up on a farm in Iowa, and moved to Montana a little over 31 years ago to escape the humidity and gain better scenery. I received a B.A. from Iowa State University, and a M.Ed. from Montana State University. I've worked in the communication office of the Extension Service at both universities. My husband, Ray, is a retired Bozeman Firefighter, and now works at MSU. We enjoy the outdoors, biking and traveling.

I've been with Dahl's for almost six years, and find it rewarding to come alongside people during a very difficult time, and do what I can to help them as they honor and remember their loved ones.

I was born and raised in funeral service, growing up in Billings, MT, the 7th child to Bernard and M’lis Dahl. My father Bernard was a second-generation funeral director owning Dahl Funeral Chapel in Billings as well as the funeral home in Bozeman. I have been serving families in Montana since I was old enough to push a vacuum and a snow shovel. I went to college at Montana State University Billings and Bozeman as well Kansas City Kansas Community College for my Mortuary Science Credentials. I did take a 10-year break from death care to manage fine dining restaurants, from the being a Maître D Hotel at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park to restaurant and bar Management for, Marriott in Anaheim California and the Four Seasons Olympic Hotel in Seattle, returning to Montana and Dahl Funeral Chapel in Billings in 1991. In 1993 I moved to Bozeman to work at our families Bozeman location.

In 1997, I married the love of my life Mark Peterson, became a licensed funeral director, and became an owner in the family funeral business. Mark and I have been working together for over 24 years and yes, we are still married!!!!

I love being a part of the Gallatin County Community, Mark and I love being part of the fabric that makes it one of the best places to live on the planet. I love being outside with my husband, our dogs Misty and Freya, or with a sibling, friend, or cherished team member, either hiking, fishing, skiing, cross country skiing, kayaking the rivers, backpacking, or enjoying a community event or fund raiser. My community involvement included Rotary, past president of the noon Rotary Club, Dog Ball Chair for the Heart of the Valley Humane Society’s main fund raiser, Bozeman Chamber Green Coat as well as a former Board Chair for the Bozeman Chamber of Commerce. Past president of the Montana Funeral Directors Association, and I am currently serving as a district governor for the SW district.

My role at Dahl Funeral & Cremation Service is to be an advisor and consultant to Charlie Fisher and Aaron Hall. Dahl Funeral & Cremation Service has been my life’s work. I am confident and at peace knowing Charlie Fisher and Aaron Hall will care for our families with compassionate care and offer an even higher standard of service. We at Dahl have all worked to create an environment of true care and support for the families who have called on us to help when they have lost someone they love. I am most proud of the team we work with and call family. I am so blessed to work with such a loving dedicated group of individuals; I truly love them.

I was born and raised in Billings and went to college at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. After college I worked for a number of years in campaign politics and then in the printing industry. When Irene and I were married I moved to Bozeman and we decided to try working together. It has now been 23 years, so I think that it is going to work out. My main role at Dahl Funeral & Cremation

Service is to take care of the business so that everyone else can concentrate on taking care of the families who entrust us with the care of their loved ones.

Irene and I love the Bozeman Community. My favorite things to do include fly fishing, camping, hiking, skiing, both downhill and cross country and community service. I served for 14 years with the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Posse which is a Search and Rescue group under the Sheriff’s office. I have served as a Trustee for the Bozeman Elk’s Lodge and as president and a member of the board of the Madison-Gallatin Chapter of Trout Unlimited. I am also proud to be a member of the Bozeman Sunrise Rotary Club and the great work that they do for the community and the world. I also sang with the Billings and Bozeman Symphonic Choirs for quite a few years.

I am so proud of the work that our team does for the families who call on us. From the Funeral Directors to the part-time folks who are on call 24-7-365, everyone shares a relentless drive to do the best that they possibly can to help families by taking care of all the things, big and small, that need to be done when someone experiences a loss.

My name is Obe and I'm aspiring to be Dahl Funeral & Cremation Service's next comfort dog. I'm very friendly and I love to play! I do spend some days at the funeral home with my dad but I'm told that I am still too excitable to greet the families we serve. I'm working on it....
