Our History

On July 15th of 2008 the Strawbridge family was dealt with a traumatic blow that turned into a blessing in disguise, when Stephanie, Roberta, and Barbara were laid off from their place of employment. By July 26th Stephanie’s vision of owning her own funeral business was becoming a reality when they secured their location at 3612 E. 116th. Beginning in October of 2008 the family worked tirelessly day and night to form Strawbridge Memorial Chapel; the first funeral home in the City of Cleveland to be established by an African American Woman.
