Terry began working at his dad's funeral home when he was very young. He mowed grass, planted flowers, pulled weeds, and washed cars. It was a very natural progression for Terry to continue his journey following in his dad's footsteps to becoming a funeral director, and eventually owning his own funeral home.
Terry attended St. Vincent-St. Mary High School and went on to pursue his BA in Communications from the University of Akron. He then served his 2 year funeral apprenticeship and was soon a licensed funeral director in the State of Ohio. Terry has a very special quality about him that really helps the families he meets.

When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
By providing surviving family and friends with an atmosphere of care and support in which to share thoughts and feelings about death, funerals are the first step in the healing process. It is the traditional way to recognize the finality of death. Funerals are recognized rituals for the living to show their respect for the dead and to help survivors begin the grieving process.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
