Some major additions have come to Ridge Hill Memorial Park!

We have completed our cremation scattering garden, Remembrance Grove. This serene area is situated near a calming stream, and allows a gentle return to nature for cremated remains.

We have also installed a new columbarium to replace the aging Last Supper monument that previously stood in the cemetery. This 244-niche construction was laboriously hand-carved and is a true work of art. We partnered with a local supplier, Ohio Headstone Company, for this project, and it came out beautifully.

Ongoing projects include the addition of new spaces for upright monuments and professional trimming around flush memorial markers.

As always, we offer pre-planning discounts and 0% financing. Further discounts are available to military, first-responders, and others.

Give us a call at 440-233-5113, or message us here on Facebook. Let's start a conversation about your legacy.

Joseph Bandagski, Jr. began his career with Ridge Hill Memorial Park more than 40 years ago. He was a dedicated and skilled member of our Grounds Crew. Sadly, last Friday he passed away. Although he was battling a serious illness, Joe showed up to work. Even though he didn't have to, he came to Ridge Hill Memorial Park and served with the same commitment he always had. He did that because this was more than just a job to him. It was a calling and a passion. He was a part of our family, and it meant the world to him to be able to serve all of your families. We will miss him dearly. Not only for his decades of experience and expertise, but for the wonderful man that he was.

Rest easy, Joe, and thank you for everything.
