The Gaines Funeral Home is a haven of peace and solace for the bereaved, dedicated to the memory of those who have passed on to eternal sleep. At Gaines Funeral Home, they strive each day to ensure the bereavement of our families is attended to and handled with dignity, compassion and professionalism.

Cleveland, Ohio –On Monday, January 25th, family-owned and operated Gaines Funeral Home will open its second location in Maple Heights, Ohio, at 5386 Lee Road. (The official grand opening will be announced soon.)

The new facility features four viewing rooms, a dining area for repasts and after-service family gatherings, as well as a full showroom with caskets, vaults, and urn displays.

Gaines understands changing times and trends that shape ideas about how families want to memorialize their loved ones, and demonstrates this awareness by offering customized services, tailored to meet the personal desires of individuals seeking alternatives to traditional options.

Their original location (9116 Union Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio) has been a neighborhood anchor on Cleveland’s east side for over 43 years.

When asked about expanding to the southeast suburb, CEO Kaye Gaines explains, “We’re in the business of helping others, and the opening of another location increases our accessibility and positions us to serve a greater number of families.”

Gaines recognizes the importance of giving back and making meaningful civic contributions, and views having a physical presence in the Maple Heights municipality is just the beginning. In fact, Gaines characterizes their community involvement as more than a mission; she considers it a ministry.

“While funeral care is our profession, our calling goes beyond the day-to-day operations of running a business. We’re here to be an active part of this community, working with local residents—especially children and seniors—to support, strengthen, and sustain the neighborhood.”

The Maple Heights location hours Monday – Saturday, 9am – 7pm, with family visitation from 6pm – 8pm. (Sunday hours are available upon request.)
