If a business is only as good as the team that runs it, then Molnar Funeral Homes is top tier.
As the leading funeral service Downriver and in the surrounding area, Molnar is dedicated to providing exceptional service to every family that entrusts them with their loved ones. Since its founding in 1923 by Hungarian immigrant, John Molnar Sr., Molnar Funeral Homes has been owned and operated by the same family.
Following the untimely death of both John Molnar Sr. and his son, John F. Molnar in the late 50’s, the business has experienced tremendous growth and flourished to acquire their third and fourth locations in 2016.
Today, Molnar is led by licensed funeral directors, Angela M. Molnar-Ferguson, of the 4th generation, and her husband, Larry A. Ferguson. Although in semi-retirement, John S. Molnar, of the 3rd generation, remains a steadfast presence in the daily operations.
“Dedicated to providing exceptional service since 1923.”
In its near century since opening, Molnar has not only grown from a home-based funeral home to four unique and beautifully appointed chapels, but they have also expanded their services and cultivated a team of compassionate professionals who are proud to serve families during a difficult time. Molnar offers burial services, on-site cremation, pre-planning services, and a one of a kind graphic design center. They have the ability to make custom keepsakes for families, ensuring memorable celebrations of life. All of this has been made possible with the help of the talented Molnar team.
The Molnar team consists of 15 licensed funeral directors including John, Angela, and Larry; two pre-need specialists; and many team members including graphic designers, administrative assistants, support staff, and maintenance that help the business thrive. While not all from the Downriver area, Angela says “We are an integral part of the communities that we are located in, and fortunate to have several employees involved in both civic and community organizations.”
Several team members have even been with Molnar Funeral Homes for over 25 years, and because of their varied talents and experiences, the team is well equipped to assist families with whatever they may need. In many ways the team is an extension of the Molnar family. They’ve always fostered an environment where team members can come to work and make a difference. At the end of the day, they truly care about one another in the same way any family would by being there for each other through life’s biggest milestones. Even as the business has grown exponentially over the years, a strong foundation ensures their promise to each and every family remains the same – they are with you every step of the way.
“‘We are with you every step of the way’ means being with a family from the moment they call us to handle services for their loved one, during the time they are with us, and even after services are completed,” explains Angela. “Our commitment to the families we serve never ends and we are always here.”
Following a loss, knowing that your loved one’s arrangements are being handled empathetically is a relief. The Molnar team uses decades of experience to help families grieve by removing the stress of uncertainty. Rather than pushing cut-and-paste options, each family is presented with a wide variety of funeral services and merchandise that allows them to create a unique service that best honors their loved one while remaining within their means.
Molnar is looking forward to many more years of growing and serving the community as they have done for generations. ◆
