Originally known as Hansen-Shoenfeld Funeral Home, the business was founded in 1939, by the partnership of Mathias J. "Mat" Hansen and Otto Schoenfeld. In 1945, the partnership between Mat and Otto was dissolved due to the ill health of Mr. Schoenfeld. The funeral home then became solely owned by Mat Hansen and renamed Hansen Funeral Home.
Later that same year, Mat moved the business to a home located on the Southeast corner of Prospect Street and St. Paul Avenue. To help make ends meet during those early years, Mat worked at the funeral home during the day and also worked as a 3rd shift supervisor at the Beloit Iron Works.
