Family Owned vs. Corporate Owned
The words “family owned” are important. Here’s why it matters to you and to our community.
Doing business with a locally owned business directly supports local families and other businesses in your community. We use local vendors and support numerous non-profit organizations right here in in Vienna.
Other funeral homes have been operating in our community for years without many families even realizing they are owned by far away, publicly-traded corporations even though their names have not changed.
Demaine Funeral Homes, Murphy Funeral Home, Everly Funeral Homes, and Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home have been sold to national and international conglomerates.
These funeral service conglomerates keep the original family name on their businesses because they know that at your greatest time of need you are more likely to turn to a local business you feel you can trust, than to a national chain you know nothing about.
Ultimately, publicly traded companies are accountable to Wall Street and their investors. We hold ourselves accountable to you. That is the family owned difference.
I recently worked with Paradise Memorial Funeral Home during a difficult time, and I couldn't be more grateful for their exceptional service. From the moment I contacted them, they handled everything with professionalism and compassion.
Their staff went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and wishes, ensuring that every detail was taken care of seamlessly. They guided me through the process with empathy and sensitivity, making a challenging situation much more manageable for my family. The facility was comforting and well-maintained, providing an environment for me to discuss how to celebrate my loved one.
I recommend Paradise Memorial to anyone in need of compassionate and reliable planning and funeral services. Their dedication was felt, and I am grateful for their support.
