Fares J Radel Funeral Homes and Crematory have a long history that traces our roots back to 1878. By 1902, our company had grown to where it already needed a newer, larger, facility. We continued to change with the times, being one of the first funeral homes in the entire country to replace horses and carriages with automobiles in 1912.
Our company continued to look forward to the future by building a new funeral home in Newport, KY in 1927. More recently, Fares J Radel opened a new 10,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility, on over 2.5 acres in Cincinnati. This facility includes a large visitation room, a private family viewing room and a banquet facility for up to 100 people. Here, catering is available from simple hors d’ oeuvres’ to full dinners. This is also the only private crematory in the Greater Cincinnati, Ohio area.
In 2008, we built a contemporary 5,000 square foot funeral home in Cold Spring, KY. Its modern rooms provide an elegant place to remember a loved one. These modern facilities provide an atmosphere that many families appreciate.
We have a history of being progressive in serving families throughout the region. There are reasons this flexibility and versatility are important when selecting a funeral home.
From the Simple to the Elaborate
Funerals have changed dramatically in the over 125 years since we opened our first, modest facility. Many of these changes have been at the desires of families who began to look at more non-traditional funeral services. Every step of the way, we’ve been there to help family’s create services and celebrations for their particular desires. As cremations became more popular, we were pleased to offer the Greater Cincinnati’s first private crematory.
Now, we are able to offer catering and a wide variety of options to fit the specific desires of families in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. This versatility is becoming more important in pre-planning.
Versatility in Pre-Planning
More and more families are discovering that our versatility and flexibility, in pre-planning, can add a tremendous amount of peace of mind. We are able to better deliver services that are specifically requested.
We know many families are moving away services that are profoundly sad, to services that celebrate the life of their loved one. In many cases, more traditional funerals of the past are being replaced by these celebrations of life. These types of services are being embraced by those who are pre-planning their funerals and we are proud to assist them at Fares J Radel Funeral Homes.
When pre-planning your funeral it is important to work with a team who understands your desires and can offer suggestions to help you achieve them. You’ll find us to be open-minded and flexible.
If you are considering pre-planning your funeral, understand ALL of your options. We invite you to work with our team of progressive professionals to pre-plan the exact service you desire.
