Our Story

Our funeral home was established in 1905 by J.J. Martin in Ayrshire, Iowa, and later moved to Emmetsburg in the early 1920s. Over the years, our business has undergone changes, but our commitment to providing exceptional services has remained unwavering. In 1993, Alan and Tracey Mattice purchased the funeral home and have been operating it with dedication and compassion ever since.
