Elise Schumacher-Manager

Elise Schumacher has been a licensed funeral director for the past 10 years, and most recently, managed a monument company in New Ulm, Minnesota. She lives in Prescott, Wisconsin with her husband Craig and their 2 sproodles, Porter and Maggie Jo. Elise and Craig also manage Starkson Family Life Celebrations & Events, the funeral home in Prescott, serving families through the funeral and cremation process. In their free time, they love to travel for Craig's college basketball games as a referee, spend time with their families on the lake fishing, and cook together at home with the pups. Elise also does a little makeup artistry as a hobby, and has so much fun helping brides to feel beautiful and pampered on their big day!

 

Elise feels that her calling from God in life is walking alongside families in their grief journey, believing that even and especially after the funeral, people deserve the utmost care and guidance as they navigate their loss. Having personal family experience with child loss, she has a special place in her heart for families who have experienced the same. She has created a cemetery memorial garden for this cause, and most recently found great honor in partnering with Halos of the St. Croix Valley. Elise and Craig are so grateful to be serving this area for many years to come.
