The funeral home traces its origins to 1950, when Kenneth and Helen Spielman purchased the National Funeral Home at 344 University Avenue West and renamed it Kenneth F. Spielman Mortuary. After more than thirty years of family operation, the business was acquired in 1984 by the Willwerscheid family, fourth-generation funeral directors in St. Paul, who later shortened 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, preserving a piece of the Midway/Frogtown area’s early 20th-century commercial landscape. The facility includes a chapel, event space, and private viewings, and serves families throughout the region without an on-site cemetery or crematory.

Located at 344 University Ave W, the funeral home sits just a short distance from Western Avenue train station and Little Mekong Plaza, a nearby park. It is about a mile from Western Park and the Purple Heart Memorial Highway, with North Marion Street and University Avenue West forming key nearby roads.
