Started by Ora O. Snyder in 1922, Snyder Funeral Homes is thriving behind the leadership of the 3rd, 4th, and soon to be 5th generation of the Snyder family.
There is something lovely about many generations of a family coming together in a funeral home. They put their family's name on their dedication and service to the families they serve and assist. Ora Snyder would be so proud of how far they have come. From a personal note, my first funeral was when I was 8 years old, and the funeral was for my older sister's best friend Monica who died at age 12 of a heart condition. I was very afraid to attend this funeral, I had never seen anyone deceased before. But to see my sister's friend in her casket..she looked lovely. She looked just as she did when she was alive.. and just looked peacefully at sleep. The embalmer and funeral home was perfect to her. This left a lasting impression on my life, decades later..and I have deep gratitude toward passionate funeral directors, embalmers..I hope they realize how truly valued they are to provide that last goodbye for grieving loved ones. Thank you Snyder family for providing compassion and dedication to so many families. God bless you
This wonderful family has helped me get through some of the worst days in my life! My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were treated with respect., and dignity. Toms team took care of every tiny detail. Their gently guidance, help and understanding eased some of the pain in my heart. Thank you so much!
What a wonderful family story. Everyone is so blessed to be able to see their family & work with them on a regular basis. Nowadays most families don't live near to one another, as career choices & opportunities cause them to leave the area where they grew up. This family's patriarch knew what he was doing by setting up funeral homes in nearby towns. It guaranteed his offspring (& their offspring) employment (if they chose to do so), & kept everyone close-by. Kudos to the Snyder family for choosing to do such an important service for their communities.
1 St of all would like to say Congratulations for being on business for 100+ Years and growing strong. You Guys are Amazing, And Clearly Shows you're not just doing it for the business but are truly dedicated to the Families suffering. By far You are a Great family. Too bad you're not located in California. The world needs more Families and people like you. Thank you for caring enough and for doing what you do for many years. God Bless you and tour Beautiful Family. 🤗💞
They certainly have built a wonderful family business on what the first generation started over the years. Put lots of money into expansion and their funeral homes are well kept. Their father would be so proud of how this business is today.
On the street I grew up on in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York there was a funeral home, Caratazzolo. Funerals were elaborate then. There would always be three cars plus a flower car and the hearse. There always gladiolas and other flowers on green wooden sticks all down the street when they left for the cemetery. It was on the corner of Stanhope Street and Irving Avenue.
Everything looks absolutely terrific except for the lack of vaulted ceilings. All of our funeral homes must have vaulted ceilings, it gives the families a sense of room to move about not be cramped. Also I’ve heard the most dangerous thing is a third generation funeral Director because that’s when they start leaving. Fortunately we no longer have to do first calls out here in Arizona and that includes the nasty stuff that you know exactly what I’m talking about. Doing first calls has always been the worst part of the industry as far as I’m concerned and now there are several companies that charge between 50 and $100 for a dignified first call using two people, dressed in three-piece identical suits. Our boss sold out to SCI and we just walked away from the entire funeral industry after the new owners moved in with a 1 inch thick policy manual! If funeral business for a large metropolitan city is a pressure cooker I think for a small community it could work out just fine.

AMAZING FAMILY ROOTS
Awesome story,

There always gladiolas and other flowers on green wooden sticks all down the street when they left for the cemetery. It was on the corner of Stanhope Street and Irving Avenue.
Beautiful family giving back to their community.
It's amazing that they all followed in their great grandfather's shoes.
There's already a future and a career and money made for them. Only an idiot would pass up on that.
What a great legacy
Hey, what's the song played at the beginning called?
Now that's Real Furneral service.
What a beautiful American family.

Would a good slogan be "You're dying to meet us".
What state is they are in?
