Nitardy Funeral Homes has operated in Fort Atkinson since 1935, when founder Hilmar A. Nitardy established a dedicated location in the city three years after opening his first funeral business in Johnson Creek in 1932. In 1984, the Fort Atkinson location relocated to a purpose-built facility at 1008 Madison Avenue under the direction of Russ Nitardy, representing the second generation of family ownership. The business has since passed to a third generation of the Nitardy family. The current facility sits less than a mile from both the Merchants Avenue Historic District and the Main Street Historic District.

The Fort Atkinson facility includes a chapel, reception and event space, and accommodates both identification viewings and private viewings. No on-site crematory operates at this location; cremation services are arranged and coordinated through the Whitewater location.

This location does not offer on-site cemetery services, pet cremation, licensed grief therapy, or legal or estate planning services.

Families at the Fort Atkinson location frequently identify individual staff members by name in reviews — a pattern that, across five named individuals, points to consistently personal attention rather than a single standout.
