Jeanine, Most mortuaries maintain the records, but I was told that they really are not required to do so. If a funeral home is bought by someone else, they usually maintain the records as well, but I have heard of some that have not. Anderson Brothers became Sundseth - Anderson. And that funeral home now belongs to Washburn - McReavy. Washburn - McReavy is the largest mortuary "company" in Minneapolis. They are very good about maintaining records, but the previous owners may not have been. I would suggest you contact them and inquire if the records from Anderson Brothers and Sundseth-Anderson are still on file. Also - Lakewood Cemetery maintains records that often include more than just the basics. So if Washburn - McReavy does not have them, you may get a bit of information from Lakewood. Jo Hogle <<Can anyone tell me anything about the Anderson Brothers Mortuary that was in Minneapolis back to at least 1935? I have information about the death of Paul A. Gunders 9/18/1935, he was age 72 years. His obit indicates that mortuary as the one making his funeral arrangements with burial at Lakewood Cemetery. I am looking for those records . . . any suggestions about what happens to mortuary records when they go out of business??? Thanks for any help you can offer. Jeanine>>
