Our Information

Helping St. Paul Families since 1950

4.9 15 Reviews

Spielman Mortuary is a funeral home in St. Paul, Minnesota, serving families in the Frogtown neighborhood and surrounding communities. The funeral home provides burial services, cremation services, funeral and memorial services, pre-need planning, reception and catered events, ash scattering assistance, and green burial.


Spielman Mortuary traces its origins to 1950, when Kenneth and Helen Spielman purchased the National Funeral Home at 344 West University Avenue and renamed it Kenneth F. Spielman Mortuary. The Spielmans operated the business for more than three decades before selling to the Willwerscheid family in 1984, fourth-generation funeral directors in St. Paul, who abbreviated the name to its current form. The building retains much of its original architectural character and is the only remaining active funeral home in the Frogtown neighborhood, making it a rare surviving example of the Midway/Frogtown area's early 20th-century commercial landscape.


The facility includes a chapel, reception and event space, and dedicated areas for identification and private viewings.


Spielman Mortuary does not operate an on-site cemetery or on-site crematory and does not offer pet cremation, licensed grief therapy, or legal and estate planning services.


Families who have relied on Spielman Mortuary across generations frequently recognize individual staff members by name in reviews, noting their ability to navigate complex family dynamics and communicate clearly about arrangements and pricing.

They took very good care of my mother and walked us thru the entire process.they took care of everything so we could concentrate on what mattered.this is the third generation they have handled in my family and probably not the last.

Jonathan, our funeral director, was an absolute blessing. While one hopes not to need these services often, if you do, Jonathan and the wonderful staff are the group you want in your corner. Navigating family dynamics and strong emotions under such circumstances can be challenging, but Jonathan, Sarah, and the team were consistently understanding and reassuring. Jonathan was compassionate, patient, clear, and concise throughout the entire process. On the day of the service, every single staff member was ready, willing, and happy to assist with whatever was needed. Having unfortunately experienced multiple funerals recently, I can attest that the proactive readiness of this staff is exceptional. They made a difficult time much easier, and my family and I are incredibly appreciative of their support.
