DID YOU KNOW?
AI Overview
Based on available records, Evans Funeral Home in Norwalk, Ohio, is identified as having become Ohio's first provider of secure online funeral webcasting services in 2007.

Here are the key details regarding the early adoption of funeral webcasting in Ohio:

Evans Funeral Home (Norwalk, OH): In 2007, the firm began offering secure, live-streamed funeral services for family members unable to attend in person, with upgrades to their equipment in 2010 through Nationalwebcasts.com.

Schoedinger Funeral and Cremation Service (Central Ohio): By January 2009, Schoedinger was highlighted for offering live web streaming and archived online video, allowing remote viewing for military personnel and others.

Humenik Funeral Chapel (Brook Park, OH): Began offering webcasting services in April 2010 using technology from Sympathynet.com via their casket provider, Matthews International Corp.

Advanced Audio Systems (Cincinnati, OH): Founded in 1999, this company provides AV installations specifically for the funeral industry and serves as the parent company/hardware installer for FuneralVue.

The rise of these services was driven by the need to include distant family members due to health, financial, or military constraints.

One Misconception: We are at the funeral home 24/7 ?

Our normal office coverage is 9:00-5:00 M-F, but you will see our owners and staff cars in the parking lot at odd hours. We have a wonderful answering service after 5:00 PM, weekends, and holidays (IF we don't answer it ourselves) seven days a week.

In the event of inclement weather WE are still available, but we don't live at the funeral home. As we respond to hospitals, nusing homes, hospice, coroner and EMS accidents 24/7 - usually responding within 20 minutes 24/7/365.

We also own and operate the only crematory in Huron County since 2013. We have refrigeration for nine, 4 gurneys, 6 casket carts, lift for up to 600 pounds, all white fleet of funeral service vehicles, and maintain our 145 year old building, which was built in 1880.

If you have any unique questions, message our page.
