Brookside Funeral Home & Crematory announced the opening of its new location in Wenatchee on January 1, 2024. Expanding from its Ellensburg and Yakima bases, Brookside aims to address the growing need for funeral services in Chelan and Douglas counties.

Owners Jamin and Kara Mohler view their profession as a service to the community. "We focus on being a family and relational business that seeks to treat families the way we would hope to be treated if we were in their situation," Jamin Mohler stated. He emphasized the small-town nature of their funeral home, noting the involvement of their daughter, Mahala Mohler, in the family business.

The decision to expand into Wenatchee was spurred by increasing service requests at the Ellensburg location from Wenatchee families. "The reception and the incredible outpouring of support has been both humbling and heartwarming. This community is eager to have a choice, and we are honored to be one of those options," Mohler remarked.

Jamin Mohler passionately expressed the importance of maintaining a personal and compassionate approach. "It is important to us that we do not outgrow or extend ourselves beyond our ability to personally and compassionately serve families. We have an incredibly gifted staff who is dedicated. Our locations are all staffed with licensed and genuine staff members. However, if we grow only for the sake of growing and not to intentionally fill a need and care for a community, then we have lost our focus on this calling of funeral service. We are here, as our slogan says 'Because We Care.'"

Adding a unique aspect to their service, Brookside features Beacon, an Australian Labradoodle and certified funeral service therapy dog. Beacon's profile is available on the company's website.

Brookside Funeral Home & Crematory invites the community to visit the new location at 201 N Mission Street, Wenatchee, or contact them at 509-888-2050.
