Aaron - Hodroff and Sons Funeral Home was established over 90 years ago in St. Paul. Two years later, the Hodroff family moved to the old Temple Israel located on 5th and 10th street in Minneapolis, while the Aaron family remained in St. Paul. The funeral home was relocated again to its present location at 126 East Franklin Avenue. The Hodroff's also had a location in North Minneapolis for a number of years. Abe Hodroff founded the funeral home. His two sons, Leo and William joined him in running the business. The Hodroff's later opened a location in St. Paul.
The funeral home changed hands twice before the Epstein family purchased it in June, 2004 from Service Corp International. No stranger to Minneapolis or to the Hodroff funeral homes, it was there that Henry Epstein began his career in funeral service. He worked at Hodroff's from the time he graduated from the University of Minnesota mortuary science school in 1968 until 1978. The Hodroff-Epstein Memorial Chapel Chapels are once again family owned and operated, a fact we are extremely proud of.
