History and Staff

F .L. “Barney” Sharp began the Sharp Funeral Home in Carroll in 1940 when he moved from Sioux City, Iowa, and purchased a Victorian styled home at the corner of 8th and Carroll Streets in Carroll. That home was demolished in 1959 and the current Sharp Funeral Home was built. Thomas Schapman of Carroll joined the firm in June 1965 and Donald Masching of Carroll joined the firm in June 1966. The Sharp Funeral Home at Breda was built in 1966. Kyle Atkinson, a native of Sheffield, Iowa, joined the Sharp Funeral Home in February 2008. In 2010 Kyle purchased the funeral homes. In 2019, Kyle purchased the Ohde-Twit Funeral Home in Carroll. That facility was closed and the extensive remodel was done to the Sharp Funeral Home to better serve all of our client families. The Sharp Funeral Home proudly serves the families of Carroll and the entire surrounding communities with dignity and respect for their loved ones.
