Our Roots in Steubenville Run Deep

In 2008 we acquired the McClave-Chandler-Mills Funeral Home in the North End historic district. The former McClave Funeral Home was the oldest funeral business in Steubenville, with roots in a funeral home established on North Fifth Street in 1895.

Today Steubenville families use our Wintersville funeral home, and every pre-arrangement once held in Steubenville is now with us there. Read our full history.
