Attendants: Emma Anderson, Haile Lenzen, and Tim Luedtke

Among its members, our staff includes five family members, three of whom are funeral directors with close to a combined eighty years of experience. Two of our other directors have each been with us for almost thirty years. Another director had served the St. Paul area elsewhere for nearly twenty years before joining us in 2023. This ensures experience, dedication, continuity, familiarity, and stability for those we serve.​ Our decades of living and working in the neighborhoods we serve, and working together as a team for years, offer you a much higher level of sustained, consistent, responsive, and personal service than firms that suffer from high turnover, inexperience, and unfamiliarity. Not to mention that we've been owned by the same single family since the day we opened, without any of the upheaval that comes with ownership changes.

Ultimately, though, it's not about us; it's about honoring the life lost, and serving you and your family. That's why you won't find pictures of our staff and their biographies on our website, because you're not here for us; we're here for you.
