About Us

We are a family owned and operated funeral establishment providing service in the communities of New Hamburg and Milverton and their surrounding areas. Founded in 1977 by Mark Jutzi. Our two chapels were owned and operated by Mark & Karen Jutzi for over 26 years. Since 2003 Mark & Karen's son and daughter-in-law Trevor & his wife Ellen Jutzi have owned and operated both locations while Mark & Karen continue to be active in the day to day operations of the funeral home. "Our Family Serving Your Family" aptly describes our desire to provide professional and caring funeral services to the families of our community and beyond.

Mark & Karen Jutzi
As our founders and namesake, Mark & Karen have a long history of caring and personal service to both communities. Both growing up in the Milverton area, Mark & Karen formally adopted New Hamburg as their home over 30 years ago. Mark received his funeral directors licence in 1967 and after several years of employment in various industries he purchased the funeral home in New Hamburg in 1977. Karen received her funeral directors licence in 1980 and served along with Mark until the transfer to the next generation in 2003. Mark and Karen's genuine friendliness and deep commitment to walk with families in their time of grief and loss has made them trusted friends to many in both Milverton and New Hamburg.

Trevor Jutzi
Born in Milverton, Trevor was actually raised in both the New Hamburg and Milverton Communities. He has been employed in various capacities with the funeral home, officially receiving his funeral directors licence and joining our firm in 1990. Since becoming the owner in 2003, Trevor has continued his commitment to caring, professional service here at the funeral home as well as a broad involvement in sporting in both communities.

Ellen Jutzi
A lifelong native of Milverton, Ellen has worked with the Jutzi Family since becoming a member in 1989, upon her marriage to Trevor. Ellen received her funeral directors licence in 1991 and was employed at Schreiter-Sandrock Funeral Home in Kitchener from 1990 to 1999. Now acting as co-owner, assisting in day to day operations, keeping involved in the community and tending to the needs of her children fill up Ellen's time.

Andrew Koch
Born and raised in New Hamburg, Andy has been employed in various capacities with our family since 1992. After graduating the University of Guelph in 1996, Andy attended Humber College receiving his funeral directors licence in 1998. Currently residing with his family in New Hamburg, Andy has learned to know many families in the Milverton community as well.

Currently Traci Jutzi, Ken & Katherine Roth and Mike & Norma Weiler all provide much needed day to day assistance on a part-time basis. We really appreciate their care and commitment.
