The J. Henri Morin & Son Funeral Home was founded by J. Henri Morin in 1900 after immigrating to Spencer from Canada in the late 1800's. He began the business along with his wife Ida who assisted him in the numerous endeavors that were necessary in providing funerals mostly in families homes. As the need to provide funerals in a place that was larger and more convenient for people to congregate, the family residence at 23 Maple Terrace was renovated into a funeral home in the 1930's.

His son, Alfred, who worked with his father in the 1930's operated the funeral home until retirement in 1973. "Fred" as he was known, was very active in Spencer and the area. He donated the first ambulance to the newly formed Spencer Rescue Squad back in 1959. He was a charter member of the Spencer Exchange Club, Spencer Fish & Game, D.P.H.S. Scholarship Fund and served as Vice President of the Spencer Savings Bank.

During this time several renovations were made in the old family three decker to accommodate the increase in use of the building.

In 1973, the family business was turned over to Alfred Jr. "Al" is involved with many local organizations including the Spencer Exchange Club (Past President) D.P.H.S.

After several renovations and additions , the building is now modern operation with handicapped entrance, restrooms and central air. Both facilities have off street parking for over 60 cars.
