According to the National Funeral Directors Association of America over 30% of Ohio residents chose cremation over other forms of disposition in 2010. That's a growth of over 26% from 2000 (Cremation Association of North America). You might be asking yourself why more people are choosing cremation? While some people cite reasons such as: Saves Land (13%) Simpler (8%) Environment (6%) Personal preference (6%) The main reason the average consumer chooses cremation over a traditional funeral service with burial is the cost of cremation is far less. Thirty percent of those surveyed gave cost as their reason for deciding to choose cremation. So how does the average cost of a cremation compare to other funeral costs and to burials? The average cost of a funeral at a traditional funeral home today is about $6,500, including the typical $2,000-or-more cost of a casket. Add a burial vault, and the average jumps to around $7,700. A cremation, by contrast, typically costs a third of those amounts, or less. If you keep it simple, though, the average cost of a cremation, including a basic memorial service, runs about $1,600. If you choose Cleveland Burial and Cremation at Malloy Esposito for a direct cremation and hold ...Read More

Flowers, trees, sparkling lakes, and four-leaf clovers called to Mimi. She always answered – handing a walking partner a four-leaf clover or laying her hands on the tree’s trunk encouraging it to “stay strong.” Mimi loved her Father’s world and shared that love with those lucky enough to walk with her. Perhaps she welcomed you into her home and you found yourself surrounded by skeins of yarn, glass paper weights, and signs of love on walls and mirrors. Or perhaps she served you a fresh salad made from her garden vegetables or a wonderful plate of her Vietnamese egg rolls or her homemade whole grain bread with homemade jam. Maybe she sent you a card with just a warm hello or a word of encouragement, or called you when you were in the midst of a personal crisis to say “You’ve been on my mind lately. How are you doing?” Or you called her on the phone to receive her customary “Hello Hello!” Whatever it was, it was filled with love and optimism. Marie Rene (Mimi) Varberg was born on February 18, 1947, in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. She studied German and English at Concordia College and shared her love of ...Read More
