Funeral Homes in Rochester, MN

Cease Family Funeral Home represents four generations of family ownership, with the fourth generation (Kara Cease Bowman) having earned her mortuary science degree in 2022, continuing a legacy that began with Kevin Cease joining the business in 1984.

The original Bodelson Funeral Home has been serving the community since 1960 and was purchased by John Mahn in 1986, expanding into a new facility in Zumbrota in 1998 as part of the Mahn Family's multi-location network across Goodhue County.

Cory Michaelson worked alongside his father at the funeral home during his school years and later obtained an MBA from the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management, bringing both family tradition and advanced business education to the operation.
