Albert Charles Walter founded Walter Mortuary Company, Inc., d.b.a. "Walter Funeral Home" in 1894. Albert's son, Donald C. Walter, then joined the family business. Their business was located in the 1200 block of Broadway, until the building of the current location at 4653 Glendale Avenue in 1986.
Mildred E. Walter took over ownership in 1955 upon the death of her husband Donald and was joined in ownership of the business by longtime directors, Paul E. Mathewson and Michael L. Johnson in 1984. At that time the vision of developing the Glendale site became a reality. Mildred passed away in February of 1993. At the end of 1994 the original funeral home on Broadway was closed after celebrating 100 years of operation. Paul Mathewson passed away in June of 2001, just as the plans for expansion of the Glendale facility were being finalized. Eric Mathewson, Paul's son, joins Mike in the family business. Locally and family owned for over 115 years. Walters Funeral Home continues to offer all forms of services for families in need.
