Why Choose Us

A History of Trust And Compassion

For more than 150 years our funeral home has been providing families with dignified, compassionate, and reliable service. When Ross C. Dejohn, Sr. affiliated himself with the Flynn-Froelk Funeral Home in 1950's, he made a commitment to building on the outstanding service they had offered the northeast Ohio community since 1869. Ross DeJohn, Jr. then went on to purchase the funeral home in 1986 from the Mylott family. Joining the business in the late 1990's, Ross Dejohn, III then brought us to our third generation of family ownership. Now with four locations to serve our community, families trust our compassionate service that extends beyond traditional funeral services.

Celebrant Services

Many times a family may not know how to proceed in planning a funeral or memorial service for their loved one because they do not have a clergy person or other officiate. Our Certified Life Celebrants can provide a celebration of life service that is unique to your loved one and your beliefs.



Cremation With Care

We are one of the only funeral homes in Lake County that has its own on-site crematory. This enables us to be able to control the process of cremation from start to finish. Our crematory staff is professionally trained by the manufacturer and handles each cremation with the utmost care. All of this gives our families peace of mind knowing their loved one never leaves our care. You are even able to view the beginning of the cremation if this is what you choose to do.



Green Funeral

As more and more people become concerned about the effects on the environment of traditional burial and cremation, the consideration of a green funeral is becoming increasingly popular. There are environmentally friendly options for burial, cremation and services.
