SCHROEDER-MICKELSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES

Our History

This is the year we celebrate 103 years

of continuous service to the

City of Shawano and surrounding area.

The Karth Funeral home was estabished in Shawano in 1909 by Martin Karth.  Originally located on Shawano's Main St. and then moved to its current location in 1921 when the funeral home building was constructed at the corner of Sawyer & Randall Sts.  Mr. Karth operated the funeral home for 56 years and later was joined by his sons Walter & Karl Karth.  Over the course of many years the funeral facility was constantly updated and improved. In 1976 the funeral home was purchased by Ron Kopitzke who retired in 1985, selling his interests to Russ Schroeder. In 1992 the funeral home was completely remodeled, a large chapel was added as well as parking areas and total handicap accessibility.  In 1998, Rob Mickelson joined the firm and today we proudly continue this 103 year tradition of service to the Shawano area as Schroeder-Mickelson Funeral Service.

In August of 2012, Partners Rob and Nancy Mickelson purchased the interest in the business from Russ and Teri Schroeder.  We are able to  offer complete pre-planning services, cremation services and monument sales. Our professional staff pride themselves on providing the finest professional and compassionate service to the families it is our privilege to serve, while always being respectful of their traditions, beliefs and resources.
