The home page states, "Since 1972, Bradshaw has had the honor of serving families in Saint Paul, Stillwater, White Bear, and Minneapolis," and displays "50+ Years Serving You." The Our Staff page says Jim Bradshaw graduated from the University of Minnesota Mortuary Science Program in 1964, is first-generation in funeral service, and founded the family business in 1972. He is listed with his wife Jayne as Founder and Chairman; the page notes Jim is a Past President of the Minnesota Funeral Directors Association and lists extensive board service, including the Saint Croix Valley Foundation and the Saint Paul Riverfront Corporation. Jayne graduated from the Minnesota School of Business and has served as Vice President and Secretary of the family business. Jason Bradshaw is listed as President/CEO, with the phone number 651-489-1349 on his staff entry; the About Us page names him Owner and President. His biography says he studied Biology at Pepperdine University, that the Bradshaws were recognized by Time Magazine in 2004 for their contributions to the changing world of funerals, and that since 2010 he has been responsible for the company's bio cremation project. Other staff listed include David Schindler, Controller, and funeral directors David Haroldson, Michael Sorrell (who the page says joined Bradshaw in 2009), Donald Winge and Anne Christ, among others. The About Us page sets out the firm's mission, promises and core values, including respecting the dignity of every person and appreciating diversity and inclusion. Individual state licence numbers are not published on the site.

For burial, the site says the firm can provide an immediate burial without a public service; a visitation, viewing or wake with a closed or open casket; a funeral service at the funeral home, a church or a private home; and a graveside service at a cemetery, and that a family may choose a public service, a private service or a combination. For cremation, the page says a family can have a traditional funeral service before a cremation, or a memorial service at any time with or without the urn present, and can keep the urn, scatter the ashes, or have the urn buried in a grave or columbarium where a service can be held. Funeral services can be traditional or, in the site's words, "something completely unique," and the page says the staff will do their best to accommodate cultural and religious funeral traditions. A memorial service may be held shortly after a death or weeks later, at the funeral home, at the final resting place, or at a family's home. On natural burial the page names Roselawn Cemetery, Resurrection Cemetery and Prairie Oaks Memorial Eco Gardens as Twin Cities cemeteries offering natural burial. The home page also mentions veterans services and preplanning. The website does not publish prices, package contents or timelines for any of these services. To ask about a specific service, cost or schedule, contact a location by phone; the 24/7 immediate need number published on the site is (651) 489-1349.

The General Price List page links to a General Price List, a Cremation Price List, a Casket Price List and a Vault Price List, with separate General and Cremation lists for White Bear/Stillwater and for Rice/Minnehaha. No price, rate or fee figure appears in the page text, so any cost, quote or estimate has to come from those price lists or from a funeral director. The same page publishes a "Guide to Funeral Expenses" explaining the categories a bill is made up of: Professional Services, covering the funeral director's work and assistance from Bradshaw staff; Facilities and Equipment, which the page says allows the firm to tailor cost individually because not everyone uses the facilities the same way; Transportation, most commonly use of a hearse, including cases where a death occurs out of state or out of the country; Merchandise, which covers caskets, urns, vaults, memorial books and folders; and Cash-advance Items, which are payments made on the family's behalf to providers such as florists, escorts, clergy, soloists and cemetery services, billed without markup. For a cemetery plot or mausoleum niche, the page says to contact the cemetery of choice directly, and that any Bradshaw location can be called with questions about that. To get current prices or a written estimate, request the price list for the relevant location or call that location. The preplanning page also offers a complimentary consultation that covers a price estimate and flexible payment plans. Nobody should be quoted a figure that is not on the current price list.

The page says that once contacted, the firm will make arrangements to bring the person who has died into its care and will set a time for the family to come to the funeral home to begin the funeral arrangement process. The 24/7 immediate need phone number published across the site is (651) 489-1349. An Immediate Need Form can also be completed online; it asks for information about the person who has died, whether a doctor or coroner has been notified and whether the body has been released, permissions to embalm or cremate, the physician signing the death certificate, and the contact details of the person legally responsible for disposition, including the best time to reach them by phone. To plan ahead instead, the Plan Ahead page invites people to contact the firm to schedule a complimentary, advance funeral planning consultation, and lists what it covers: service options, price estimate, flexible payment plans, essential documents, veterans burial benefits and travel protection coverage. A short form on that page collects name, phone, email and a message to book a free consultation. The page says the first step is to write down your wishes, indicating burial or cremation along with ideas for the service and a cemetery choice, then to schedule a time with a funeral director who can explain service options, merchandise choices and ways to pay. It says most families who preplan also choose to pre-fund, through a preneed insurance policy, a life insurance policy or another payment option, and that at the time of death services must be paid in full. Related resources include When Death Occurs, Arrangement Expectations, Veteran Forms and Hospice Resources. The site does not publish how long any step takes, what it will cost, or whether a given date can be accommodated; a funeral director at the location handling the arrangement answers those.

The page explains that where cremation normally reduces the body to bone fragments using heat, Green Cremation technology uses water blended with an alkali solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH). The body is placed in a pressurized stainless steel cremation chamber, water and alkali are added automatically, and the temperature is raised to 350 degrees Fahrenheit; water, alkali, heat and pressure are circulated to complete the process. The ashes are returned to the family. On its history, the site says that in February of 2006 the Mayo Clinic began using the process in its anatomy bequest program and then pioneered legislation making Minnesota the first state to have the option available to the general public. The site states that Bradshaw is the first and only firm in Minnesota to provide the service, and the South Minnehaha location page states that its crematory is the first in the country to offer alkaline hydrolysis. The environmental claims published on the page include almost zero air emissions, no vaporized mercury, caskets not being burned, roughly four times less carbon impact and about one eighth the energy usage compared with flame cremation, more than 20% more bone fragments preserved, and that pacemakers do not need to be surgically removed. The by-product goes to municipal water treatment. The site links to www.greencremation.com for more, and lists Green Cremation Services and a Green Cremation FAQ. Prices and scheduling for green cremation are not published; ask a location for the cremation price list.
