At Ryan-Parke Funeral Home, we understand that funerals are for the living - they allow us to acknowledge that a life has been lived. Funerals provide an opportunity for us to gather to share, remember, and honor a loved one in a special way. They also provide closure to the bereaved by establishing a forum where family and friends can come together for support.

Originally a bungalow-style home, Ryan-Parke Funeral Home experienced the first of several major renovations in 1946. That year, two additional chapels were added, as well as various cosmetic changes to the building and surrounding property. Then, in 1960, the home was again expanded with an additional chapel, a new elevator, and a casket display room.
