Divine Passage Funeral Home, LLC

Divine Passage Funeral Home, LLC, located at 175 N Douglas Street in Ripon, Wisconsin, is a locally owned and operated funeral home that has been serving families since 2013. Under the dedicated ownership of Kristy J. Martin (née Sadlon), a licensed funeral director and embalmer with over 25 years of experience in the funeral service industry, Divine Passage was founded with a clear mission: to provide a full range of high-quality funeral services and merchandise at the most affordable prices in the area. Kristy, who previously managed three local funeral homes for five years, is also a WI licensed intermediary, certified preplanning specialist, and a WI registered life agent for burial agreements. Her commitment to community and innovation was recognized when she was named the 2017 Ripon/Green Lake Professional Women's Connection Distinguished Woman of the Year.

Divine Passage offers comprehensive funeral services including traditional burial, cremation, casket and coffin selection, monument creation, and personalized arrangements and decorations. The funeral home is proud to be women-owned and is recognized for its inclusive environment, being LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safe space. The facility is fully wheelchair accessible with a gender-neutral restroom, and free on-site parking is available. Families can also take advantage of financial assistance options and language assistance services. Additionally, the business provides specialized veterans services including headstones and burial flags, pre-planning options through a dedicated pre-arrangements form and the 'Talk of a Lifetime' program, and extensive grief support resources including a daily email support for a year.

The team at Divine Passage prides itself on what they call the 'Divine Passage difference': a meticulous approach to embalming and preparation that treats each person with dignity and gentle care; a skillful commitment to going above and beyond the norm to create a memorable service that reflects the personality of the deceased; extensive experience through Kristy's decades in the field; and true affordability by keeping the facility modest and passing savings directly to families. As a locally owned and operated business not affiliated with any multinational conglomerate, all decisions are made at the community level, allowing for immediate response to local needs and support of other quality local businesses.
