Lantzer Funeral Home

Lantzer Funeral Home is a family-owned and operated funeral home serving Beach City, Ohio, and the surrounding Stark County communities since 1924. Founded in June of that year by Elza and Minnie Adams, the business originally operated at a different location before moving to a larger facility at 231 Second Avenue in 1934 to accommodate families who preferred calling hours and services at the funeral home. In 1938, the business became Adams-Lantzer Funeral Home when Edward Lantzer Jr., a graduate of Cleveland Mortuary School, married the Adamses' daughter, Veda, and joined the family operation. Edward Lantzer Jr. purchased the funeral home outright in 1953 and renamed it Lantzer Funeral Home. He operated the funeral home until his death in 1978, after which his daughter Barbara Garver and her husband Clinton continued the business with assistance from Veda. Barbara Garver earned her funeral director's license in 1997, representing the third generation of family involvement. Today, the funeral home is located at 230 2nd Avenue Southeast, Beach City, OH 44608, and can be reached at (330) 756-2121. Lantzer Funeral Home offers a range of dignified services, including burial and cremation options. The facility is wheelchair accessible with an accessible entrance and parking lot, and on-site parking is available.
