Nordgren Memorial Chapel traces its origins to 1910, when it was established on Belmont Hill in Worcester. More than a century later, the business remains under family ownership and operation, now spanning five generations. The funeral home occupies a position directly across from UMass Memorial Healthcare, with access from Route 290.
In 2009, Katherine E. (Johnson) Lehman became the first female funeral director in the company's history, marking a significant transition in the family business. She was joined in ownership by her daughter Erika M. Nordgren Mangsen in 2011, creating what the business identifies as Worcester County's only mother/daughter-owned funeral home. Both hold Type 3 Funeral Director licenses; Erika additionally serves as a licensed embalmer.
The funeral home maintains active membership in the National Funeral Directors Association, Massachusetts Funeral Directors Association, and holds BBB accreditation. Staff credentials include membership in Pi Sigma Eta, the national honor society for funeral service professionals.
