Avram Funeral Home 

Avram Funeral Home is Mayville Area Chamber of Commerce’s spotlight business of the week.  Owner, Allen “Al” Avram purchased the funeral home in 1999 and has years of experience in the funeral business.  He understands that each family is unique and has personal requests and traditions which are of utmost importance to him and his staff. 

As a funeral director, Al provides funerals respecting all faiths, creeds, and customs.  He has a well-qualified and competent staff.  Funeral packages are available in a wide range of price categories to meet the needs of all segments of the community and funerals of all sizes.   

Avram Funeral Home also does pre-planning of funerals.  Pre-planning provides you with the time needed to make practical, detailed decisions that reflect your standards, lifestyle, taste, and budget and they will make sure that your choices will be carried out as planned.  Also, when you pre-plan your funeral, Avram Funeral Home will advise you of the total cost.  By locking in today’s funeral costs and setting aside funds to finalize your plan, you do not have to worry about escalating costs and it will relieve yourself from future worry and your survivors from an unexpected expense.  Avram Funeral Home even has an online planner on their website that can get you started. 

In addition to the Mayville funeral home, Al purchased the Marsh Funeral Chapels in 2016.  Him and his wife, Kathy, do make time to enjoy their favorite things; snowmobiling, Harley motorcycle trips, and spending time at the lake.

As a Non-Profit organization, all of their funding is used for accomplishing their mission of providing emergency medical care.  MAAS is funded through three main sources – billing for services provided, service contracts with the governmental units serviced, and memorials and donations (donations may be tax deductible).  

Planning for MAAS began in late 1975.  Over several months of preparation, MAAS was officially in service in October 1976.  Operations were based out of a small garage, that was shared with Mayville Police, across from the Mayville Fire Department.  Over the next several years, MAAS call volumes grew.  In July 2005, MAAS moved in to our new building at the corner of M-24 and Lynch Drive.  MAAS put our second ambulance in to service in August of 2014.  

Most EMT volunteers see the job as a rewarding challenge, a learning opportunity, good hands-on experience for other healthcare professions (including doctor or nurse), a chance to make a difference in the lives of others, and an opportunity to give back to their community.  Their staffing comes from a variety of backgrounds and situations – some are college students, some retired, some work full or part-time jobs in a many different industries.  Each is considered a paid, on call volunteer.  What does that mean?  That means that each of them volunteers to work on an ambulance.  In turn, MAAS provides a reimbursement program that compensates them for the time they worked. 

​ Although we use the term volunteer, it is not completely accurate.  In order to be a member of MAAS, each must complete an EMS training course, pass the State of Michigan licensing exams to become a licensed MFR or EMT, and complete CPR certification.  Additionally, each must attend continuing education sessions to earn credits for license renewal. 

​ HELP IS WANTED for EMS staffing.  Yes, there may be costs involved for the training, but it could possibly be reimbursed once you pass your exam and certifications and become a member of our team.  Please contact James Welke if you are interested in learning more.  EMS is a great way to serve your community, as well as learn valuable skills that can help save lives, and could be beneficial in your career path. 

The Mayville Area Ambulance service is located at 5802 Lynch Drive and you can contact James Welke at 989-843-6136.
