Mohnke Funeral Home

Information may not be reliable

In 1916 Irving Wagner founded the Wagner Funeral Home and Furniture Store on Michigan Avenue in Big Rapids. It was told that for awhile he had sold a lot more furniture than assisting in funeral arrangements. By 1929 however, he had decided to buy a corner lot on Warren and Elm. First he had to move the building that was on the lot down the street a few blocks and then proceeded to build the largest building designated to be a funeral home between Grand Rapids and Traverse City. The naysayers were quick to point out that the area could not support a funeral home of that size and Wagner was determined to prove them wrong. Through hard work and self sacrifice Irving Wagner not only proved them wrong but also set a standard of service to the community that continues to this day, almost a hundred years later.
