History and present
Located in Töölö, in Helsinki, Hautaustoimisto Autio Ltd. is a family-owned company, which started its operation in 1928 in Vyborg’s Kangaskatu.
Juho Autio established a funeral home after his young spouse Hilma had died. Broken by grief, as a father of four young children, he did not receive the help he needed to arrange the funeral properly. He decided to start a funeral office, which truly serves, so he could be of help to others at times of sorrow.
Juho Autio was one of the founding members of Finland’s Funeral Homes Union, in which his youngest son Leo Autio later significantly helped to improve the funeral industry. Leo Autio is currently the honorary chairman of the union. His daughters Sari Autio-Pettersson and Sisko Autio are continuing his work today.
With the experience and professionalism of decades, we offer close and careful practical help to homes of grief in all things related to funeral industry. Our office is part of Finland’s Funeral Homes Union and through that a part of international Al-IT. We are also a member of Memoria organization, which is a company owned by private sector funeral offices.
