Wood-Kortright-Borkoski Funeral Home

Wood-Kortright-Borkoski Funeral Home, located at 703 East Main Street in Ravenna, Ohio, has been a pillar of the Portage County community for over a century. Founded in 1909 by Walter and Bertha Wood in Chardon, Ohio, the funeral home moved to Atwater three years later and eventually opened its Ravenna location on North Chestnut Street in 1933. In 1936, the family purchased the former home of Judge I.T. Siddall at the corner of Freedom Street and East Main Street, which remains the funeral home's address today. Over the decades, the business expanded to serve multiple communities, including Kent, Atwater, and Mantua. The legacy continued when stepson Rob Kortright took over, renaming the business Wood-Kortright Funeral Homes. In 2005, Aaron Borkoski became manager, and the name was changed to Wood-Kortright-Borkoski Funeral Home. Today, it is part of the Dignity Memorial family, a network of funeral service providers committed to exceptional care and 100% service satisfaction.
