About Cuyahoga County, Ohio

Cuyahoga County spans roughly 457 square miles on Ohio's northeastern edge, bordering Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, and Summit counties, with more than 1.26 million residents as of the 2020 census. The county's population density means that families requesting cremation services, from Cleveland's urban neighborhoods to west-side suburbs like Lakewood, Parma, Brooklyn, and Fairview Park, are rarely more than a short drive from the Slone & Co. crematory. Cleveland, the county seat, sits at the heart of the county, and Slone & Co.'s Lorain Avenue location keeps cremation care centralized rather than outsourced to a facility outside the immediate area.

Cleveland's west side, home to Slone & Co., has a long tradition of serving both burial and cremation needs, including through public resources such as West Park Cemetery on Ridge Road, a city-owned cemetery in operation since around 1900. Whether a Cuyahoga County family plans a private direct cremation or a cremation followed by a public memorial, the county's geography and community resources make it possible to keep every part of the process close to home.
