Expansion

Expansion occurred into East Cleveland with the acquisition of a second location in 1972.  This move was coincidental to and consistent with the growth and migration of the Black population to some of Cleveland's eastern suburbs.  As Black migration continued to the southeastern communities surrounding Cleveland, William further expanded the business with the acquisition of a third facility in Warrensville Heights, Ohio in 1996.

Starting in the 1960's and continuing through the 1980's, William and Mary were joined in the business by their children, William F. (Pepper), Marcella B. Cox, and Marina B. Grant along with two granddaughters, Victoria A. Boyd and Lisa C. Taylor.  The tradition of "Quality, Compassionate, Care" begun by Elmer Boyd and continued by his son, is still visible in the service renderd by his third and fourth generation off-spring.

"It is our mission to provide families who are experiencing the loss of a loved one sympathetic, compassionate and professional service in the same manner we would want for ourselves."
