The Bradshaw family continues to meet the need of the community right where they are. We are mindful that our most valuable asset is our reputation and our success has been measured by trust of those families we have served for generations. Being family owned means we are accountable to the families we serve and our community and not some larger conglomerate. We understand the importance of community involvement and the gift of giving back.
Bradshaw renders all services in a spirit of equality and respect to those of all races, sexual preferences, faiths, nationalities, and cultures. Every human deserves respect, support, and love. We promise to welcome you into our care with our arms and hearts open.
When all is said and done, we are storytellers at heart. We will listen carefully and do our job well. A life that has ended becomes a celebration of the life that was lived. There are, of course, many ways to tell a story. It can be simple or grand. Solemn or spontaneous. But above all, every telling is unique. This is why we take pride in helping every family craft a remembrance that speaks to the heart with authenticity and hope. We also have a celebrant on staff who can meet with you to personalize and customize a celebration to honor your loved one's life.
Dear Friend,
As consumers, we are bombarded with promises every day. And every day it becomes harder to sort the hype from the hope. That's why we want you to know what our guarantee of absolute integrity and extra-mile service looks like in action.
Whether you come to us for a funeral arrangement or simply to gather information, here's what you can expect. And while we are far from perfect, no one will work harder to earn your trust. That's a promise too.
We accomplish the Bradshaw mission by helping people create meaningful events that celebrate the life of a loved one who died, helping to heal the wounds of loss, and bringing a spirit of renewal to all.
In all that we do, we are committed to:
Those we serve are our primary focus. With respect, dignity and personal attention, our team of caring professionals works with people to understand their unique needs, shares options with them, and respects their choices. Our goals are to follow through on what we promise and provide exemplary service.

Owner and Founder
Because we offer cremations at our Green Cremation facility, families take comfort knowing that their loved one will never leave the shelter of our care. Those who choose Green Cremation may select any of our Bradshaw facilities for services and ceremonies. Our trained professionals handle every step of the cremation process with dignity, integrity, and respect.
At Bradshaw, we have voluntarily adhered to the highest funeral industry standards for more than 40 years and every member of our staff is credentialed in the profession.
We are accountable to the families we serve - not to the stockholders and investors. We go above and beyond to earn your confidence today and for generations to come.
Bradshaw is proud to be locally and independently owned in an area filled with many chains and multinational conglomerates. Bradshaw has cared for Twin Cities' families since 1972 and we offer the level of compassionate care only a family can provide. Once we've had the honor of serving your family, we will always be here as your neighbors: familiar faces who can help.
We offer fair and reasonable pricing with a money back guarantee. Because we consistently earn a 99% satisfaction rating from the families we serve, we are confident that we will meet and exceed every family's expectations. We have never, and will never, turn away a family for lack of funds.
We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.
We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or digital files of the video are also available.
At no additional cost, we offer to live stream your loved one's Memorial Service directly to their obituary page on our website. The video will remain on the obituary page indefinitely unless we are asked to take it down.
We realize the expense of a funeral can be a burden. We provide the option for friends and family to make monetary donations to help cover funeral costs. These gifts can be made easily and securely online through our website, and are paid directly to the funeral home on behalf of the donor.
We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.
We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or Twitter page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
We offer one year of free daily grief support emails to the families we serve. It is important to us that we continue to comfort our families through the difficult days that the first year of grieving can bring.
