Michels & Lundquist Funeral Home & Cremation Service

Michels & Lundquist Funeral Home & Cremation Service has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in New Port Richey and the surrounding West Pasco communities for over forty years. Established in 1964, the funeral home was founded when James Michels relocated from Duval Funeral Home in Tampa to manage the New Port Richey location, joining Walter Lundquist, who had been serving local families since 1959. Both men brought deep personal commitment to funeral service: Michels began his career at age fifteen in Michigan and became a licensed funeral director by age twenty-two after moving to Florida, while Lundquist was inspired by his uncle, a fellow funeral director. Their shared vision created a legacy of dignified, personalized care that continues to guide the funeral home today.

Now operating as the Michels & Lundquist Chapel within Brewer & Sons Funeral, Cremation & Cemetery Services, the funeral home offers a comprehensive range of services designed to honor every unique life. Families can choose from traditional funerals, simple cremations, and customized memorial services, all supported by a professional and devoted staff. The on-site chapel provides a warm, accessible space for gatherings, and the funeral home is fully wheelchair accessible with ample parking. Specialized services include grief support, urn selection, military burial services with veteran burial flags, and pre-planning options to ensure peace of mind and preserve personal legacies. The caring memorial directors assist with every aspect of planning—from casket choices and music selection to flower arrangements and local accommodations.

Conveniently located at 5228 Trouble Creek Road, just two and a half miles from downtown New Port Richey, the funeral home serves Pasco County and nearby areas including Port Richey, Hudson, Holiday, Tarpon Springs, Trinity, and beyond.
