Cremation Services for Parma, Ohio Families
Slone & Co. Funeral Directors provides cremation services to families in Parma, Ohio, and throughout Cuyahoga County, using our own on-site crematory. Located on Lorain Avenue on Cleveland's west side, about 7.5 miles from Parma, we offer direct cremation, cremation packages that include a memorial or life celebration, and coordination with local hospitals and hospice for families who need us right away. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (216) 941-3434 to speak with someone now.
Because cremation happens on our own property, a loved one from Parma stays in our care from the moment arrangements begin until the cremated remains are returned to the family. Nothing is transferred to an outside facility, and no third party ever handles a Parma family's loved one.
Parma families choosing cremation have more than one option. A direct cremation is a simple, unattended cremation without a formal service beforehand, often chosen by families who prefer a private gathering later or a graveside committal of the cremated remains. Families who want a visitation or viewing before cremation can choose a cremation package that includes one. For families who want to gather and celebrate a life, cremation with a memorial service or life celebration lets us plan a ceremony, whether at our facility, a Parma-area church, or another location that felt like home to your loved one.
Our Spanish-speaking staff members and Hispanic Liaison work directly with Parma's Spanish-speaking families to walk through cremation options and paperwork, and our team can also help arrange shipping of cremated remains for family members living outside Ohio.
Why Parma Families Trust Our On-Site Crematory
Not every funeral home that offers cremation actually performs it. Many send a loved one to a separate, outside crematory with no way for the family to know exactly what happens along the way. Slone & Co. Funeral Directors owns and operates our own crematory on-site, so your loved one never leaves our care, and our own Crematory Manager oversees every cremation personally.
We are an independent, family-owned funeral home with deep roots on Cleveland's west side, and a full team of licensed funeral directors and embalmers is available around the clock. Our 178 Google reviews, averaging 4.54 stars, reflect the same steady, transparent care Parma families receive whether they choose direct cremation or a full life celebration.
