It's Official: We've Got Curb Appeal!

We're pleased to announce that earlier this week, Molthen-Bell & Son Funeral Home was singled out for a South Milwaukee Curb Appeal Award.

The 100-year-old funeral service provider has been a cornerstone of steady support in the South Milwaukee community, helping families and demonstrating civic good will as well.

The awards are presented annually to South Milwaukee businesses, homeowners and civic organizations who devote extra effort to their property’s beautification, through landscaping and other street-facing efforts.

"At first we were a bit surprised by the announcement," Colette Maass, the office manager at Molthen-Bell, admitted. "We've made a real commitment to South Milwaukee, we love it here. However, it's not every day you win an award for doing just a little extra to make the community better."

Maass went on to say that real kudos belong to JoAnn Brockman. "It is almost entirely through her effort and ideas each spring that Molthen-Bell transforms itself and its gardens into an award-winning contender," Maass said.

The recipients of the Beautification Awards are selected by the Beautification Committee in early August.

The awards are nomination-based, with participants being solicited using Facebook and an online form. Up to five winners receive a sign and recognition at a city council meeting or on city or mayoral digital platforms.

Other South Milwaukee businesses, civic groups and homeowners are encouraged to visit the City of South Milwaukee's Awards page to learn more about upcoming honors and participating in the initiatives.
