Behm Family Funeral Homes

Behm Family Funeral Homes, a fourth-generation, family-owned funeral home, has been a pillar of Northeast Ohio communities since 1906. Founded by Walter C. and Alta E. Behm, the funeral home’s tradition of compassionate care has been passed down through the generations—first to Wilford and Betty Behm, then to their sons Michael, Timothy, and Ford. Today, the business is led by president Trevor Behm and a devoted staff of licensed funeral directors who continue the family’s commitment to trust, respect, and exceptional service.

Operating from two convenient locations—26 River Street in Madison and 175 South Broadway in Geneva—Behm Family Funeral Homes serves families across Lake, Ashtabula, and Geauga counties. Each location is wheelchair accessible with free onsite parking, an on-site chapel, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere designed to provide comfort during difficult times.

The funeral home offers a comprehensive array of services tailored to meet the diverse needs and wishes of the families they serve. These include traditional funeral and burial services, cremation services with an on-site crematory at the Madison location, memorial services, life celebrations, green burial options, and full veteran funeral services with military honors. For those seeking an eco-friendly tribute, green funerals minimize environmental impact through biodegradable materials and the avoidance of embalming chemicals. The staff is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to provide immediate assistance after a death or to help with pre-planning consultations.

Understanding that every life is unique, Behm Family Funeral Homes encourages families to create deeply personal tributes. Whether it is a quiet chapel service, a graveside ceremony, or a vibrant memorial filled with music and shared memories, the team provides the resources and flexibility to bring each vision to life. The funeral home also offers innovative comforts, such as Finley, a specially trained grief therapy dog available to visit families, schools, and care centers, providing extra emotional support.
