Funeral Homes in Ellsworth, MI

Peterson Funeral & Cremation Services has operated continuously since 1932 in the historic William Mitchell mansion, built in 1890 for one of Cadillac's prominent lumber barons, maintaining continuous family ownership and operation for over 90 years.

Founded in 1949 by Joseph B. Thompson, a 1945 graduate of Wayne State University of Mortuary Science, the funeral home was established as a true family business with his wife Hildreth, who notably served as cosmetologist and organist and used sign language to assist deaf and hearing-impaired families.
