Not Your Average Funeral Home

Steve, the funeral director at Wintz & Ray Funeral Home, took some time to chat with our team regarding the business’ outstanding online reputation.

According to Steve, the thing that really sets Wintz & Ray Funeral Home apart from others in the area “Funerals are difficult. There is much to process and so many details. It’s a one-time thing, you need to use someone that you can trust and get it right.”

“Our mission is to serve families in a time of need, families that call on us during a difficult time to ease their stress. Working with us allows people to look back and know they did the right thing. We provide families comfort during a difficult time.”

Building Success By Keeping Up With The Community

According to Steve, the key to the company’s success is communication. He says they maintain their reputation by, “Keeping up on facebook and consistent website development.”

The following is Steve’s advice to other businesses that are working on their online reputation:

“Be active, professional and ethical in everything in you do. Educate the people online that are looking for your services.”


Congratulations to the team at Wintz & Ray Funeral Home and Cremation Service for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Steve, for taking the time to speak with us!
