Everything You Wanted to Know About Funerals but Were Afraid to Ask
Thursday, May 21, 2026
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Northview Mortuary, 2060 Commerce Dr., North Mankato, MN 56003
Join us for 90 minutes of education, humor, and answers to your questions. We’ll start things off with a short program: “10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Funerals and Cremation,” and then we’ll open the floor to questions for the remainder of our time together. This will be a great opportunity to dispel myths, remove doubt, and start preparing for your or a loved one's funeral. Following the program, attendees may take a tour of the mortuary.
