Businesses, churches and other groups in Bozeman and Butte are preparing for Easter celebrations this weekend, with one local funeral home continuing its unique community tradition.

Dahl Funeral and Cremation Service in Bozeman is putting the finishing touches on their annual Easter egg hunt, scheduled for Friday, April 18th at 6 p.m.

Charlie Fischer, owner of Dahl, says they began the Easter egg hunt tradition a few years ago as a way to become more connected with the community.

The funeral home has prepared 400 eggs filled with candy hidden around their building for children to find during the event.

While most participants will search for traditionally colored eggs, the funeral home has added a special twist to the hunt. A few golden eggs containing money will be hidden among the regular eggs, offering an extra reward for the lucky finders.
