Not Your Average Funeral Home

David, Apprentice Funeral Director at Waltner Simchak Funeral Home, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets Waltner Simchak Funeral Home apart from the many other funeral homes and services in Ohio. David told us that, while they offer very low prices — which haven’t been raised in many years — they don’t cut costs at the expense of the service. Instead, they strive to keep their prices affordable and give their customers value while choosing to take a smaller profit for themselves.

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Waltner Simchak Funeral Home and how they work to make the world a better place. David shared with us that they’ve been in business for 100 years and have no desire to move — they are there to help the community. When a family needs the team at Waltner Simchak Funeral Home, the family is the boss for that time.

Building Success by Helping Their Customers

When we asked David about Waltner Simchak Funeral Home’s secret to such a strong online reputation, he told us that he and his team are out to do general good for people. They never up-sell anything at Waltner Simchak Funeral Home and are simply there to help their customers in their time of need.

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Waltner Simchak Funeral Home has spread the word about who they are and what they do by running obituaries on Facebook, but most of their business comes from word of mouth.

Clearly, David knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s his expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Treat everyone the same. Whether they have a million dollars in the bank or very little money, they should all get the same care.”


Congratulations to the team at Waltner Simchak Funeral Home for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, David, for taking the time to speak with us!
