We recently had the honor of placing the first loved one in our newest columbarium, the Four Apostles.

This monument serves as a striking centerpiece within Midlawn Memorial Gardens. The craftsmanship, granite, and bronze detailing were thoughtfully designed to reflect strength, faith, and lasting remembrance.

A family entrusted us with this inaugural niche placement, and it was carried out with the same care, dignity, and respect we provide to every family we serve.

Above-ground placement offers a clean, secure, and beautiful resting place; and as you can see, the setting remains peaceful in every season.

We are honored to care for families in Union and throughout Franklin County, and we take great pride in continuing to invest in our memorial gardens for generations to come.

Many families don’t realize this when choosing cremation.
Not every funeral home performs cremation on-site. In most cases, your loved one is transported elsewhere for the cremation.

At Midlawn Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens, we have owned and operated our own on-site crematory for many years. Cremation takes place here, on our property, under our direct care.

Your loved one never leaves us.

When the time comes, details matter. That is why families throughout Franklin County and the surrounding area continue to place their trust in us.
