Why Local Ownership Matters

Ean Sinn • September 27, 2025

Meet the owners!

When you choose a locally owned funeral home, you’re not just supporting a business - you’re supporting your community. Every dollar spent with a local provider helps keep resources, jobs, and care right here at home.


But here’s something many people don’t realize: funeral homes are often sold to large corporations or consolidators without ever changing the name on the sign. Families may believe they’re working with the same trusted local owners, when in reality, ownership has changed quietly behind the scenes.


That’s why it’s so important to check. Visit the funeral home’s website - the owners should be clearly listed. If they’re not, don't hesitate to ask them.


At Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center, we’re proud to be family owned by Ean and Crystal Sinn and rooted right here in this community. We answer only to the families we serve, not to corporate offices, shareholders, or out-of-town owners.


When the time comes to make a choice, choose a funeral home that keeps your trust, your care, and your money close to home. Our website is always available for browsing, and we promise full transparency in ownership, services, and pricing.

At Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center, we know that attending a funeral procession can feel unfamiliar or intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. A funeral procession is a meaningful tradition that allows family, friends, and the community to accompany the deceased from the service location to the cemetery or final resting place. Participating with respect and understanding helps honor your loved one while providing comfort to the family.
