Since 1980 the Mortensen family has had the opportunity to serve families in the Antrim County area with funeral homes in Central Lake and Bellaire. In 2003 the addition of the Mancelona funeral home helped us to better serve our families and the community. The Winchester Chapel in Charlevoix was purchased in the spring of 2017 to help us continue our mission in serving families in their most difficult time of need.
In January of 2019 we purchased Hastings Funeral Home in Ellsworth, which has given us an even bigger area to serve our families. This site has been designed to help you with funeral information, prearrangements, obituaries, local florists, and funeral home directions. Take a few moments to express your wishes now and help to ease the burden on your loved ones.

When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.
