Our Story: A Legacy of Service

Crandall Funeral Home has a rich and storied history that dates back to the 1870s when Ben Broezel, a barber, began operating a funeral business in the community. Later, he was joined by John Ensch, and they operated a furniture store and the funeral business, known as Broezel & Ensch.

In 1928, Clifford A. Crandall I moved his family to Mauston and became the partner of John Ensch, operating the business as Ensch & Crandall. Clifford later purchased the full business shares and renamed it Crandall & Sons. At that time, the business operated as both a funeral and furniture business. Funerals were held in area churches and the homes of the families they served.

Following the war, Clifford again was joined by his sons in the operation of the business, which now included furniture, carpeting, flooring, LP Gas, and the funeral business. In 1961, James C. Crandall purchased the business from his father and sold the furniture portion of the business in 1963. He continued to operate the funeral business, which is now known as Crandall Funeral Home. In 1987, Jim retired and sold the business to Andy and Chuck, who have been operating it since then.
