The healing process starts earlier when your funeral or the funeral of a loved one is planned in advance. Death is even more overwhelming when it happens with no pre-planning. All of a sudden familyt members need to make many decisions about a loved one's funeral. Decisions that haven't been talked about beforehand.

Planning ahead jumpstarts the acceptance of the death of a loved one and prepares us for the future's new reality.

In 1886 a second generation American and father of eight established what we know today as Willwerscheid Funeral Home & Cremation Service. John Adam Willwerscheid, then Commissioner of the Saint Paul Fire Department, at the suggestion of a friend, founded J. A. Willwerscheid Mortuary. The original facilities were located in the back room of Dries Drug Store at Ninth and Saint Peter Streets.
Life is full of opportunities to show someone we love them. One such opportunity is the funeral or memorial service. Such a loving event celebrates the choices they made, the relationship you shared, and honors the memory of your loved one. When people think of burial they usually are referring to a traditional funeral service.
For over 125 years the Willwerscheid family has been an innovator in the funeral industry. Keeping in this tradition, we now offer funeral care options that are more environmentally sustainable while at the same time honor our individual spirituality and traditions. Natural Burial and Cremation give families additional options for the care for their deceased loved ones.
The goods and services shown below are those we can provide for our customers. You may choose only the items you desire. However, any funeral arrangements you select will include a charge for basic services and overhead. If legal or other requirements mean you must buy items you did not specifically ask for, we will explain the reason in writing on the statement we provide describing the funeral goods and services you selected.
When people think of burial they usually are referring to a traditional funeral service. This has traditionally meant a memorial ritual where there is a visitation with the deceased present in a casket. The visitation is followed by a funeral service in a church, the funeral home, or other place. The final disposition, burial or cremation, then follows the service.

My family has been going here for years. I recently had to plan a funeral for my first time and I'm glad we went with them.
When I went there they were very informative and walked me through the process. They helped me pick out the things we needed, but also made suggestions on how to watch the money. I NEVER felt rushed or pressured in any way and they were always professional.
They are nothing but kind and extremely considerate! I truly believe they really did and do care about us! ❤

The owners and staff at Willwersheid were not only extremely efficient, helpful and polite, they also sent a card on my late father's birthday, which was very touching and appreciated. They went above and beyond anything I expected and made arranging the details of the funeral and burial as easy as possible.

Sure enough 6 weeks later my 90 y/o mother in law died. She was on home hospice so the procedure was a little different. After the pronouncing of her death I had to call the funeral home to pick her up. I was told they were busy, and they came in a timely manner. Even it's a loved one, a dead body in the bedroom is damned creepy. We were able to make arrangements the next day. I like how during the visitation they're so available and on top of things. Turns out we shared the day with a much younger man who was very popular and had almost 200 guests. We were in the smaller room across
