The funeral home's natural limestone chapel seats 125 with additional overflow capacity, featuring modern audio/visual systems for video slideshows and wheelchair accessibility via ramp. The 130-acre cemetery maintains a park-like atmosphere with ponds, waterfalls, flowering hedges, and mostly flat markers preserving natural aesthetics. All buildings and memorials feature Minnesota pearl pink granite for distinctive local character. Three mausoleums serve the cemetery: the historic 1933 Sunset Chapel Mausoleum with stained glass and brass doors; Chapel of Peace (1980s) with modern design; and Chapel of Angels (1999) with glass-front niches and a dedicated wall for public servants and veterans. Recent updates include 2015 administrative office remodeling and 2017 glass-front niche installations.
Sunset emphasizes personalized service over one-size-fits-all approaches, working to incorporate individual passions and hobbies into each ceremony.
Sunset & Kapala-Glodek Funeral Home and Sunset Cemetery have served Minneapolis families since 1922, when investor Fred Ossanna helped bring the vision to reality. Located northeast of downtown just off I-35W, the combined funeral home and 130-acre cemetery allow families to handle all arrangements—funeral, cremation, and burial—at a single location. The property borders both Minneapolis and Saint Paul, making it accessible to families throughout the Twin Cities.
The funeral home's limestone chapel accommodates 125 guests with overflow space, featuring cathedral-like vaulted ceilings and geometric stained-glass artwork in a non-denominational setting. Sunset Funeral Home also welcomes families from Kapala-Glodek Funeral Home, which provided personalized service in Minneapolis for over 85 years before joining forces with Sunset.

I wanted to thank you for all of your help during a difficult time. The staff was amazing and we received a lot of compliments from friends and family on how special the celebration of life was for my father. Thank you again for your care and service throughout the process.
Sunsets was very helpful and kind. They were awesome with working with the other funeral home that picked up my aunt.
We have been working with Kara on preplanning our funeral. She provided information that will help us preplan a funeral that fits our needs perfectly. She made no attempt to upsell us services or items . We found her assistance and knowledge to be invaluable.
Very welcoming and informative presentation. No pressure in decision making. There software tools were quite sophisticated.
