Jodi Schefers

FUNERAL DIRECTOR

My name is Jodi. I graduated from Tower Soudan High School back in 1993. My last name has ties to other names of Mattson, Pernu, Salo, and even Anderson. Like many others raised on the Range, I have moved away. I've had a few adventures, have some awesome stories and friends and family always seem to bring me back. I love adventure and I love helping others.

My husband Mike works for Aldi's. We have four nearly grown children. Our oldest works with me at the funeral home. Our boy just graduated as an electrician. Our two youngest are still in middle and high school.

Funeral service is changing. Please allow us to educate and serve you through what will be every one of our lives' journey. Death is inevitable. Life should be happy, on your terms, even while we honor and bury our dead. We are friends helping friends.
