Funeral Services And Cemeteries near Independence

“Our family not only experienced one of the worst losses of our life (wife/mother/grandmother) but also had the difficult task to coordinate the wake/funeral across state lines. We’ve never dealt with such a situation but Vodraska handled all of the details for us seamlessly by working with the out-of/state funeral home. Additionally, Dan took the time out of his busy schedule to meet with my family to plan the wake and funeral virtually, picking out the casket and prayer cards while also getting us in touch with the local church to plan the mass. Dan and his team were very accommodating to our unique situation and schedule and we are very grateful.“

“I could not be more impressed with the solemnity and professionalism that Joshua and everyone else at Fortuna displayed in helping our family every step of the way from the planning of the showing, to the funeral and burial of our Mom. Their Funeral Home is immaculate and modernly updated. Everything went as seemlessly as possible with services. I could not recommend them more. Thank you for helping our family through this difficult time.“

“Cleveland Cremation made everything so easy when my mother passed away. Signing paperwork online was super convenient and their communication and compassion was wonderful. When a loved one passes away, you don’t even know where to start and it can be overwhelming. They really eased a burden for me at a really difficult time. I am so grateful and highly recommend them.“

“The professionalism and attention to your personal needs was the reason why we chose Cracian, they literally took care of everything we needed and allowed us to host a beautiful ceremony for my sister. Thank You All for everything you do for those in a crisis. It was an honor to get to know some of the folks at Cracian-Berry.“

From the moment we met with them after my dad passed I felt confident and assured they had everything under control and they were there to provide not only their services but and perhaps more importantly sincere kindness and compassion. They worked with us to ensure that my beloved dad was honored and cared for with respect. Heartfelt thanks Justin, Tom and Kurt❤️“

“There is a reason Brown-Forward is a Shaker Heights institution. Over the last 50 years BF provided professional, compassionate service for five family members during life's most difficult moments. Rob and Judy and now Brad have helped my family through arrangements for my grandparents, an uncle and my own parents always with patience and a loving demeanor. I would offer my highest recommendation for anyone experiencing such a loss.“

“I had such a kind experience with Joe. He was so caring, empathetic and took care of my needs. I lost my husband of 27 years unexpectedly and never had to deal with a Funeral home before he explained everything, gave me time and even provided water, juice and snacks. If I could give Joe more than 5 stars I would. The front desk lady was so kind and even listened to me when I called being so devastated. 10/10“

“On the behalf of my family and I, we would like to thank Charles and his staff for making my grandmother look so peaceful and beautiful. Many of her guests as well as myself, said they never seen the deceased look so natural & alive. She truly looked as if she was just sleeping peacefully, which put us at peace. Also, the heartfelt support they provided from the initial call to the burial was greatly appreciated.“

“My father was smart enough to pre-plan and I was with him when we made those arrangements many years ago. It was one simple phone call and everything was handled and taken care of when he passed. Bryon was my person. He gave me his personal cell phone number and said to call 24/7 with any questions or concerns. He kept my brother and I completely informed. Since my brother and I decided to shift some of the arrangements that were made, Bryon gave us great recommendations and suggestions and modified the contact as needed. Plus was able to reserve us the small Chapel that was at the cemetery since the weather was not in our favor. I can't thank everybody as a whole at BKB as I probably spoke with just about everybody there for one reason or another and everybody was wonderful!! I can tell you I will be heading there shortly to pre-plan my own funeral as I want my family and loved ones to be taken care of as wonderfully and effortlessly as I was!“

“Babitt Busch provided an unforgettable and unique experience for our family to pay tribute to my husband Gerald who was an historian and reenactor for many years. The final endeavor he studied and collected for was Viking History and that theme was incorporated in this tribute. The casket spray was a woodland creation rather than the traditional roses or flowers and our visitors were just amazed when they saw it. The coordinator Caitlin made that happen and this was a really great tribute to him and our guests got to remember him in the way they knew him best from woodland Indian reenactor up to the present. A true result of being able to think out of the box and it was overwhelming. A perfect farewell to an amazing husband, dad, and remarkable friend to many.“

“This cemetery is a beautiful place, filled with lovely trees and wildlife that I enjoy seeing each time I visit. People here are hard-working and friendly. Each day I visit I see them working--cutting grass, opening a grave site, chopping up trees that have fallen in recent storms. My husband's grave was covered completely with dirt shortly after the burial, his grave marker was placed a day after it arrived at the cemetery, and his plot has been seeded with grass. I recently ordered a vase container for fresh flowers. The assistant who handled the ordered treated me warmly and even called me the next day when the vase container was set at the grave. I constantly see a white car driving around and monitoring the place, so I always feel safe there, as do others who walk through for exercise or take their pets for a trot. I feel the place is well cared for daily. Many grave markers are covered over with grass; some are quite old, and it appears that family have not been there for years nor done any maintenance around the memorial sites. I recently located my great grandfather's site, and I plan to trim the grass around it and add a fall wreath.“
