Ridge Hill Memorial Park

Joseph Bandagski, Jr. began his career with Ridge Hill Memorial Park more than 40 years ago. He was a dedicated and skilled member of our Grounds Crew. Sadly, last Friday he passed away. Although he was battling a serious illness, Joe showed up to work. Even though he didn't have to, he came to Ridge Hill Memorial Park and served with the same commitment he always had. He did that because this was more than just a job to him. It was a calling and a passion. He was a part of our family, and it meant the world to him to be able to serve all of your families. We will miss him dearly. Not only for his decades of experience and expertise, but for the wonderful man that he was.

Rest easy, Joe, and thank you for everything.

We are pleased to announce that the landscaping will be done in our new cremation scattering garden this season! Attached are initial renderings we've received from the landscapers. This is another way we intend to serve those choosing cremation, in addition to our glass front niches and existing columbariums.

You may notice that the Last Supper monument at Ridge Hill Memorial Park is being removed. It was in need of significant repairs, and the decision has been made to replace it. We are very pleased to partner with Ohio Headstone Company for the addition of a brand new Last Supper monument which will include cremation niches! Unlike the old monument which was made of concrete, this will be made entirely of granite. The images below are the project renderings. We're excited to offer another cremation option to our community!

Any military history buffs out there? We have a 105mm Howitzer on display at Ridge Hill. If you're in the cemetery, stop and take a look at it and the veteran monument nearby. This Howitzer was donated by the US Army, and it's been here for the past 21 years.

We appreciate all veterans, which is why we have a dedicated section at Ridge Hill just to honor them. We also offer pre-planning discounts to veterans and their families.
