About Us

At Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center, with locations in Trimont, Welcome, and Sherburn, we understand that planning a farewell for a loved one can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re here - to offer compassionate guidance, heartfelt support, affordable options, and a place where every detail is handled with care by people from your own community.

Our thoughtfully designed facilities host everything from funerals and celebrations of life, visitations, receptions, and other community events that bring people together in meaningful ways. We believe every life deserves to be honored with a ceremony as unique as the person it celebrates.

Our mission is to simplify the planning process while helping families create deeply personal, healing experiences. When you walk through our doors, we want you to feel comforted - surrounded by warmth, understanding, and people who truly care.

Ean Sinn, owner and funeral director, began working locally at the funeral homes in Trimont, Sherburn, and Welcome at the age of 17. Ever since then, Ean planned to return to Martin County to serve the area where he grew up. After graduating with his Bachelor's Degree, majoring in Mortuary Science at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, he completed an internship in Winona at the Hoff Celebration of Life Center. Ean later worked in eastern Wisconsin for several years, before returning to Martin County to open his business with his wife, Crystal Sinn, and employee Greg Wohlhuter.

Rather than building from the ground up, they looked for an opportunity to renovate an existing space. After looking throughout the area, Ean approached the Trimont United Methodist Church board in March 2023. A unique idea was presented to the board, for them to sell the church building to the funeral home and to continue to host their usual church events.

On July 14, 2023, the purchase of the church was finalized, and renovations began. By November 6, 2023, the Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center was officially licensed and opened its doors with the initial renovations complete.

In October 2024, the Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center partnered with St. Paul’s Community Church in Welcome, creating a new chapel to extend our business's reach to cover more of our community.

In April 2025, the footprint of the business expanded again with the purchase of the First Congregational Church of Sherburn, leading to the licensing of the Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center – Sherburn Chapel.

Together, these three buildings have become cornerstones of community support and connection, hosting not only funerals, visitations, and celebrations of life but also educational seminars, blood drives, concerts, farmers' markets, and more. Partnerships with local churches and organizations continue to strengthen our mission, ensuring that Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center remains a place of connection, comfort, and care for families during their most difficult times.
