Brookside Funeral Home & Crematory

As a sophomore at Kittitas High School in the late 90’s, our owner, Jamin Mohler, had just finished making his baseball bat in woodshop class. His friend and classmate, David Tatro, was intently working on a very detailed inlaid horse head masterpiece. When David’s life was cut short, with his woodshop project left incomplete, Jamin was given the high honor and somber responsibility of finishing David’s woodshop project. Once completed, the Mohler and Tatro families had dinner together, and Jamin was able to present the finished horse head project to David’s grieving family. This experience set Jamin on the trajectory of a lifetime in service to the grieving, caring for those who have experienced loss.

It was a simple woodshop project, but it was a defining moment in Jamin’s life. As a young teen, the fulfillment received by making a difference left an indelible impact. That mission has continued to define and shape the purpose and passion of Brookside Funeral Home & Crematory.

The families of central Washington and beyond have chosen to turn to the dedicated and professional staff of Brookside Funeral Home & Crematory since our inception in 2001. We are honored to be the leading funeral service provider in Kittitas, Yakima, and Chelan Counties. That is not by accident. Each family we serve receives unparalleled guidance and a family-first approach that you will not find universal in our profession. Truthfully, we are glad to be different.

We are so unique in how we serve families that we were nominated and then selected to receive the inaugural Washington State Funeral Home of The Year Award in 2019.

This was an unexpected and distinguishing honor that was granted to our firms by the joint convention of the Washington State Funeral Directors Association as well as the Washington Cemetery, Cremation, and Funeral Association.

To meet our staff, is to recognize that we are a team of dedicated professionals who serve our communities with unassuming, first-class care.

We are equally proud of our impeccable standing with the Washington State Department of Licensing and the Office of the Washington State Insurance Commissioner. We take our reputation seriously, and we recognize that each family we care for is entrusting us with the highest of sacred honors. It is our opportunity to serve them in the only way we know how..... with class, honor, and compassion.

As it was those many years ago with the Tatro Family and David’s horse head project, our family and our staff stand ready to make a difference, walking with you through some of life's most difficult moments, Because We Care!
