ELLSWORTH – Mahn Family Funeral & Cremation Services hosted an open house and ribbon cutting with Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce members Wednesday, April 3 to celebrate the completion of the new facility in the Crossing Meadows Business Park.

The funeral home/chapel, located at 587 W. Lucas Lane, is just under 8,000 square feet.

“Our chapel can seat over 100 people and the community room/reception room can accommodate about 100 people,” said Vice President Joe Mahn. “We hope that people find it a welcoming, spacious facility with convenient off-street parking. It is all one level and handicap accessible.”

The facility is open and able to serve families now. Mahn said they don’t have set office hours yet but are available 24/7 to answer the phone and assist with any questions. They can schedule times to meet at the Ellsworth location as well.

Mahn Family Funeral & Cremation Services also has locations in Red Wing, Rochester, Zumbrota, Lake City and Pine Island, Minn. They chose to expand to Ellsworth after many community members reached out to them asking them to expand their services. Mahn and several staff members are licensed in both Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Mahn finds being a shoulder that families can lean on in difficult times to be rewarding. He is also thankful for the community’s warm welcome and support.

“To know that you’re really making a difference is really helpful,” Mahn said. “When times are tough, you know that your job matters and you’re helping them through the hardest times of their lives. That helps me get up every day.”
