Wulff Godbout Funeral Home

Wulff Godbout Funeral Home, located at 560 West Seventh Street in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is a cornerstone of compassionate care in the community, boasting a rich history that spans well over a century. Founded in 1884 by August Wulff, a 24-year-old German immigrant and cabinet maker, the funeral home began as a modest operation serving families from his own home at East Seventh and Bradley Avenue. In those early days, August handcrafted his own caskets and transported them by horse-drawn wagon — or sleigh in winter — embodying a deeply personal approach to funeral service. The business grew, and in 1911 August’s son Arthur joined, prompting the name change to A.L. Wulff and Son Undertakers. Later, in 1964, the family moved the funeral home to a larger, modern facility at 1485 White Bear Avenue, now known as Crestwood Park Mortuary, to better serve the expanding East Side community. The tradition continued when Gregory Wulff, the fourth generation, took the reins, leading significant growth. In 1988, the family acquired Godbout Mortuary at 560 West Seventh Street, creating the Wulff Godbout Funeral Home we know today. A third location, Woodlane Mortuary at 2195 Woodlane Drive, was added in 1990. Through every generation, the Wulff family has maintained an unwavering commitment to integrity, respect, and service excellence.

Today, Wulff Godbout Funeral Home provides a full range of funeral and cremation services, including burial, cremation, and onsite chapel services. The facility offers wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, free on-site parking, and prepayment plans to help families plan ahead with confidence. With a 4.7-star rating from 66 reviews, the staff is known for their compassionate, personalized care. A beloved member of the team is Jackie, the funeral home’s therapy dog, who offers comfort and calm to grieving families.
