Why We Do What We Do....

Imagine if you will that your loved one has just passed away. Many people would call the same funeral
home their family has been calling for decades. That’s all right, but there is another choice. Traditional fu-
neral homes are often large beautiful buildings on meticulously landscaped property. When you have these
funeral homes handle the funerals of your loved ones you are paying for all of this. Additionally, there are
nice cars, large staffs, and other amenities for which you pay. With Bollinger Funeral Goods and Services,
you do not have to pay for all of these extra items. We operate out of a small store-front and then work with
you to ?nd alternative locations for services. By having a much lower overhead than traditional funeral
homes, we can offer savings of over 50% and even as much as 75%. Even our Direct Burial and Direct Cre-
mation (services without visitations or services) are considerably less expensive because again, we do not
have all that overhead for which you have to pay regardless of the type of service you select.

I have been a licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer here in Northeast Ohio since 1984 and I know how
funeral homes have to charge the families they serve. I believe that funerals do not have to cost as much as
they do to be meaningful to the survivors. I got into this business to
help people, and for the funeral of a loved one to be a ?nancial burden
to the survivors is not helping people.

When a service or visitation is desired, there are many other location
options besides funeral homes. Consider if you will that some people
have returned to days of old, with visitations in people’s homes. Oth-
ers are using churches, or fraternal halls, or other community locations.
Memorial services (without the physical decedent present) are being held
in libraries, parks, the zoo, yacht clubs, country clubs, golf clubs, etc. We
simply encourage people to “think outside of the box” so to speak and to
inform them of these options.
By calling us, we can assist you with free information on much more
fair-priced funeral solutions. We can assist you with advance funeral plan-
ning as well as at-need planning.
Additionally, we offer to the public a complete line of caskets, burial
vaults, urns (for humans as well as pets), headstones and monuments, and
other funeral merchandise at a considerable savings over most funeral
homes. We will deliver these items to the funeral home or cemetery of
your choice anywhere in Ohio. Other funeral homes must accept our mer-
chandise without additional charges by law, thus providing you more affordable options.
Our goal is to provide professional, caring, and digni?ed services to the people we serve without overpaying.
Call for an appointment or stop in and look around our showroom to see for yourself the available options for
your memorials and services and see how you can save hundreds and even thousands of dollars.

The Relationship Between
Paint and Mood

Painting is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to transform the look
of a space. The colors homeowners choose for their walls can give rooms their
own unique feel and even affect the moods of the people within them.

Finding the right shade for a bedroom or kitchen involves more than just se-
lecting the ?rst color that catches your eye. Design experts and psychologists
alike say it may be worthwhile to choose a color that helps you feel good rather
than just following design trends. The paint color you pick may add energy to a
space or create a tranquil retreat where you can unwind at the end of the day.

Blue -
To create a spa-like environment and a more serene space, look to shades of
blue in soft variations. Cool blues are soothing colors that can help lower stress
levels and promote sleep. That’s why blue is a frequent ?xture in bedrooms and
bathrooms. Just be advised that too much blue can make a room appear cold
and stark, so balance out blue with some warmer accents.

Orange -
Many people do not immediately consider bright orange for their homes, but
when used as an accent shade, orange can really brighten up a home. Orange
is considered a shade that expands creativity and imparts a youthful appeal to
a space. Consider an orange accent wall or a burst of color with orange throw
pillows. If pumpkin orange is a little too bold for you, tone it down by choosing a
more pastel, peachy hue, which is equally warm and energizing.

age 27, of 1025 Sunshine Court, died at 6:25 a.m. this morning,
April 12,1965 from his injuries. Thomas was born in Elyria on
April 27, 1937. He moved to Grafton a year and a half ago. He
was a salesman for Bob O’Donnell Distributing Company and was
