Our New Hamburg Chapel has a long and rich history. The location at 291 Huron Street, had been a private family residence built by the Ernst Family in the 1870’s or 1880’s. The building began operating as the Bruce J. Omand Funeral Home in 1949. Mark Jutzi purchased the business in 1977, later changing the name to Omand -Jutzi Funeral Home. In 1980, Mark’s wife Karen Jutzi received her Funeral Directors licence and joined the business, changing the name to Mark Jutzi Funeral Home. An expansion in 1993 added two new visitation rooms that double as space for our chapel that seats 150 to 200 people, and a well appointed reception facility.

Our kitchen is fully equipped with plates, silverware, cups, refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher. The lounge and kitchen are wheel chair accessible from our parking lot.
Originally operated for many years by the McMane Family, our Milverton Chapel was located at 9 Pacific Avenue. Mark Jutzi purchased this funeral home from Wayne Huebner in 1980, changing the name to Mark Jutzi Funeral Home. In 1998, after operating at 9 Pacific Avenue for 18 years, a brand new facility was built just a stone’s throw away on 7 Spencer Street. Our current facility has two main visitation rooms that double as space for our chapel that seats 150 to 200 people, and a separate reception facility.
