WHAT WE OFFER
The services.
Across four faith traditions, the names of the services change. The care does not.

Our work falls into four broad services: the funeral or homegoing service, the visitation or wake, the committal or burial, and pre-planning. Each is shaped to the family’s tradition. Two of these — the funeral service and the visitation — have their own sub-pages below; we have written them in the language of the current pack.
The pack switcher in our navigation changes the language and the rite names; the services themselves are the same chapel, the same staff, the same Cleveland cemeteries. We do not run separate operations for separate faiths.
A traditional Christian funeral service — Scripture, hymns, eulogy, prayer of committal. We work alongside your pastor; we do not replace him.
A time before the service for family and the community to gather, view the loved one if they choose, and offer words of comfort.
The committal at the graveside — a brief, dignified service at the cemetery. We coordinate with Cleveland’s Catholic, Jewish, and historic Black cemeteries, including Calvary, Holy Cross, Mayfield, Hillcrest, Lake View, and Highland Park.
For families who choose cremation, we coordinate the cremation locally; we offer columbarium placement, scattering coordination where the tradition permits, and graveside interment of cremains.
Sitting with the family before the time of need. Many families come to us as planners — making the decisions they hope will be a gift to the children. Our pre-planning conversations are unlimited, no-pressure, and free of charge. We have not charged for a pre-planning conversation since 1991.
A traditional service in the Christian (default) tradition typically runs $5,800 to $9,200 depending on casket selection and cemetery. A Catholic Mass with full Vigil and committal at Calvary, $7,400 to $11,200. A Jewish halvayah with simple pine aron and Mayfield cemetery, $4,200 to $6,800. A Black-church homegoing service with full obituary booklet and repast support, $6,800 to $11,400.
These are typical ranges, not contracts. We provide the General Price List at our first conversation. It does not change after that conversation.
