Hastings Funeral Home

Hastings Funeral Home, located at 9268 Main Street in the heart of Ellsworth, Michigan, has been a trusted pillar of compassionate care for the local community. Since joining the Mortensen Funeral Homes family in 2019, this chapel has continued a legacy of service that traces its roots back to 1980 when Mortensen Funeral Homes first opened its doors in Central Lake. Today, Hastings Funeral Home stands as a proud extension of that family-owned tradition, offering personalized and affordable funeral services to families in Ellsworth and the surrounding Antrim County area.

The funeral home provides a full range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of every family. From traditional funeral services and visitations to cremation options and pre-arrangement planning, the experienced staff guides each family with empathy and professionalism. As part of the larger Mortensen network, Hastings Funeral Home can leverage the resources and expertise of multiple locations, ensuring that every detail—from obituaries and floral arrangements to chapel directions—is handled with the utmost care. Additionally, with the spring 2024 addition of Chestnut Street Crematory in Central Lake, families served by Hastings Funeral Home now have access to local, dignified cremation services without the need to travel far from home.

The facility itself is designed to be welcoming and accessible, featuring a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot, as well as on-site parking for guests. While the home is currently listed as temporarily closed, it remains committed to serving the community through the Mortensen network, which continues to operate actively from other locations. Families can still reach out via the main contact number or through the parent company’s website for immediate assistance.

Hastings Funeral Home places a strong emphasis on pre-planning, helping individuals make thoughtful arrangements in advance to relieve their loved ones of burden during difficult times. Grief support resources are also readily available, including a year-long program of weekly messages designed to provide strength and comfort. The staff’s dedication to the community is evident in their ongoing growth—with seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren within the fourth generation of the Mortensen family—reflecting a deep personal investment in the families they serve.

In short, Hastings Funeral Home combines the warmth of a small-town funeral home with the comprehensive resources of a multi-location organization. Whether you are in need of immediate assistance, wish to pre-plan, or simply seek guidance, the team at Hastings Funeral Home—backed by decades of experience and a genuine commitment to care—stands ready to walk alongside you during life’s most challenging moments.
