Willwerscheid Funeral Home & Cremation Service - West-Heights

A History of Helping St. Paul Families Since 1886

Since 1886, the Willwerscheid family has helped St. Paul families navigate grief and plan funerals, cremation services, and life celebration services.


Our business was started by John Adam Willwerscheid, a second generation American and father of eight over 100 years ago. While a lot has changed since then, our commitment to caring for families hasn't. We know that finding the right funeral home is important, and we are grateful that families continue to trust us to take care of their loved ones.


We provide options for every family's needs and budget including many cremation, burial and memorialization options and assistance with life celebration ceremonies, veteran's services and shipping. Our West Heights Chapel on Wentworth Avenue is a convenient option for West St. Paul families. You can also find us on Grand Avenue in St. Paul.

The Willwerscheid group was exceptional through this entire process. Anytime a loved one is lost, it is difficult. This group was nothing but helpful through every interaction, giving us options every step of the way and providing helpful insight regarding pathways we may not have considered without their guidance. Thank you, Keith & Angela Kinsley
