Snyder Funeral Home - Flowers Chapel

Snyder Funeral Homes – Flowers Chapel, located at 619 East High Street in Mount Vernon, Ohio, is a historic and trusted funeral home that has served the community for generations. The building itself dates back to the 1860s, originally a grand residence on the wide East High Street, once traversed by a trolley car line. In 1948, funeral director Lawrence “Deke” Mills and his wife Martine purchased the home and established Mills Funeral Home. After Mr. Mills’ passing in 1958, Frank and Anita Flowers—a young couple from Warren, Ohio—bought the business in 1959. Under their dedicated leadership, the funeral home grew steadily, prompting two significant additions to the original structure in 1969 and 1974. When the Flowers retired in 1981, the Snyder family acquired the location, and Dennis Snyder moved to Mount Vernon to manage it. The Snyder family has been a pillar of north-central Ohio funeral service since 1922, and Flowers Chapel remains one of their 13 beautiful facilities.
