The Martin, MacLean, Altmeyer Funeral Home & Crematory was named the Business of the Month at the Wellsville Chamber-of-Commerce Luncheon yesterday, Sept. 24. Before becoming Martin-MacLean-Altmeyer the MacLean Funeral Home on Riverside has been serving Wellsville going back to the 1800s. Back before my memory the MacLean FH was located in a building that use to stand on what is now the Eagle's parking lot. Since I can remember it is now located in Civil War Gen. Riley's home a couple of blocks down the street.
The Altmeyer family of funeral homes got its start in 1917 when James P. Altmeyer opened his first place of business in Wheeling, WV. It is privately owned and operated. In 1990 they bought both the Martin Funeral Home in East Liverpool and MacLeans in Wellsville. One of their newer locations is the home and chapel in Calcutta. They offer a full range of funeral services from pre-arrangements, counseling, embalming, cremation and conducting the funeral. A couple of years ago they began offering burial arrangements for pets. Altmeyers now own and operate 16 funeral homes in three states.
Shown above, from the left, presenting the Business of the Month plaque is Chamber President Randy Allmon, Chamber Member Mary Morse and MMA Funeral Directors Debbie Koffel, Matthew Watson and Mike Sigler. Koffel is very familiar in Wellsville activities. Not only active in the Chamber she is also a member of the Veterans Memorial Council.
