A caring Middleburg Heights funeral home and celebration of life center

Celebration of life venue for services, gatherings and receptions at Arlington Memorial ParkA. Ripepi & Sons Funeral Home handles all types of services, from traditional funerals to celebrations of life, intimate gatherings to large events. With flexible spaces for funerals and receptions, the funeral home is a comfortable environment for planning services and hosting guests.

Families love our renovations, which include a beautiful entryway and a thoughtful alcove dedicated to Dan’s memory, and the new celebration of life center. A special place to remember a loved one, it offers modern technology, from streaming music to tribute video production, to ensure that services are deeply personal. The marble fountain in the funeral home was imported from Italy as a nod to our Italian roots.

Personalized memorials and multicultural services

Memorialization at Westminster Memorial Park and MortuaryAt A. Ripepi & Sons Funeral Home, we believe that every service should be as unique as the life lived. Our associates capture the essence of your loved one to create an event that honors your special person and gives friends and family a chance to come together and remember.

Perhaps it’s a barbecue in honor of the pit master, complete with bottles of homemade sauce for guests to take home. Maybe it’s a garden-themed party with a butterfly release. Or it could be a grand celebration of life with a putting green or a beloved antique car on display.

No matter your wish, no matter the detail, we handle it all. We will work with you and your family to ensure your needs and budget are met. From floral arrangements to music selections, decor, catering and more, we guide you through your choices with care.

Cremation in Cleveland

A. Ripepi & Sons Funeral Home specializes in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our all-inclusive pricing options. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none.

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with all the choices:

  • a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
  • a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
  • a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

There are many cremation providers in the Cleveland area. Here’s what you can expect when you choose A. Ripepi & Sons Funeral Home for your loved one’s cremation:

  • Custody of care guaranteed. Our identification pendant and custody-of-care program help safeguard the identification of your loved one.
  • Exclusive custody of your loved one. Once your loved one is in the care of a Dignity Memorial® provider or trusted partner, they’re in our care until they’re returned to your family.
  • Licensed, certified, conscientious staff. All Dignity Memorial crematorium operators in Ohio are licensed and certified by the Cremation Association of North America, or CANA. Unless there are special circumstances and your family has requested otherwise, only one person at a time is cremated. Additionally, the crematorium chamber is thoroughly cleaned before the next person is cremated.

Honoring veterans and public servants

We specialize in serving the veterans community of Cuyahoga County. We deeply appreciate those who have sacrificed for our freedoms and feel privileged to honor veterans and their families in need of burial services. Our experienced planners are dedicated to ensuring that every veteran is honored in a manner befitting their service and giving their families the support they need.

We also participate in the Dignity Memorial® Public Servants Program, which offers no-cost funeral services for career and volunteer law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency services personnel who die in the line of duty.

Grief support: professional counselors and a comfort dog

The loss of a loved one can be devastating, and many people don’t know where to turn or how to cope. We’re here to help you through the bereavement process—we want you to know you’re not alone.

Whether planning or attending services, you can opt to have our Labradoodle, Bentley, at your side. Many families have shared how having a comfort dog nearby has helped ease their grief and provided much-needed emotional support.

In addition, our grief library and the 24-hour Compassion Helpline® (services provided by Charles Nechtem Associates), staffed by professional grief counselors, are available day and night.

Funeral and burial planning in advance

In addition to assisting with an immediate need, A. Ripepi & Sons Funeral Home works with families to make final arrangements in advance. When you plan ahead, you relieve your family from financial and emotional burdens while ensuring your wishes are fulfilled. We offer in-person and virtual consultations, as well as a free Personal Planning Guide.
