Let's celebrate life

Imagine one last trip to the links for the avid golfer, with commemorative golf ball and tee sets for guests to keep at hand. Envision an international-themed celebration for the world traveler who always shared her adventures, complete with world cuisine catered by our professional staff. Your imagination is the limit: Our talented team of professional funeral directors specialize in fulfilling almost any final wish.

Of course, traditional religious ceremonies remain a classic choice, and military funerals mark a special way to celebrate those who served our country. Select elements from each service to create the ideal ceremony—and count on us to guide you every step of the way.

History

Nicholas and Mary Gattozzi founded Gattozzi Funeral Home in the Cleveland, Ohio, neighborhood of Collinwood in 1946. In 1972, under the direction of Nicholas Jr. and Rose Marie Gattozzi, we expanded to our current location, Gattozzi & Son Funeral Home in Chester Township. Funeral directors Jerry Ritola and Jay Jones joined in 1992 and 1997, respectively, bringing more than 60 combined years of experience serving families in need.

In 1999, we became part of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery providers, assuring our clients an even higher level of customer satisfaction backed by attention from a locally-based team.

The Gattozzi family began with a commitment to a high standard of service, and throughout our history we have continued to maintain that same high standard. The team at Gattozzi & Son Funeral Home upholds this heritage and commitment to our community.
