Snyder Rodman Funeral Center

I would describe Snyder Funeral Homes and more specifically Clay Snyder and the staff with the Snyder Rodman Funeral Center in Delaware, Ohio as caring, compassionate, conscientious, responsive and proactive. We have had need of their services to deal with unfortunate circumstances recently (12/2022), historically (11/2001) and in between and they have consistently executed with excellence. They were flexible, provided answers and solutions, surprised us with small, but meaningful touches and if something was not right, they fixed it. They paid attention to the logistical details and our individual desires, as well as showed concern for our physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing in both the days prior and weeks following the service. We very much appreciate the help they provided our family at such a critical time.

It’s hard to think about using a funeral home. And even harder when an immediate decision has to be made. But Snyder Funeral Homes was the perfect choice for our family. I was out of town when I had to call Snyder Funeral Homes before business hours. I received a call back within thirty minutes, had an appointment that afternoon, and by the end of the week, everything was completed. I communicated with Mike all week long, and he helped me navigate things I didn’t even realize I’d have to take care of. Ivy has communication skills that every business wishes they had. She has checked on me after the fact to let me know that Snyder Funeral Homes is still there to help if I need anything else. It isn’t an exaggeration to say that the using Snyder Funeral Homes was seamless, made easier still by the fact that their attention to detail was undergirded by their compassion and their knowledge.

On September 18th of this year I lost my father. I am 27 years old and had lost my mother when I was 16. I am an only child and had no clue what to do or where to even start with the planning process. The staff at Snyder Rodman made everything incredibly effortless. Working with Joe was like working with someone I knew my whole life, he just got me and my husband completely. Having him by our side gave us the strength to get through the hardest day of my life. The service was set up in the most beautiful way, the music choice was spot on, and the fact that we are almost two months out and they are still checking on me and my family warms my heart to no end. Thank you Snyder Rodman for making the worst situation so easy to bare.

The funeral home and more specifically, Lee the funeral director was amazing from beginning to end. My mother in laws death was sudden and we had no idea where to start. I was told to just pick a place on the map close by and I was so lucky I chose well. They were so supportive and all the pricing was up front and clear. Once decisions were made, they took care of everything. They were thorough, respectful and understood when we needed time to process. We appreciate them so much!!!

My wife, Lisa, passed fairly suddenly at 58 years old. Needless to say, she was the heart and soul of our family, so we were all traumatized and in shock. Lisa made her last wishes known, and she wished to be cremated, but all discussions were very preliminary, as nobody our age really expects to die in the prime of life. Michael and everyone at Snyder Rodman funeral home acted more like family then a company. They explained everything simply, and in a caring manner, allowing us the time to process all the information. Mike’s philosophy was simple: “Lisa was a very special individual, and she deserves a special ceremony. We only have ones so we are not gonna let anything go wrong.” Mike and his staff helped plan my wife’s celebration of life/memorial, and didn’t even fret when we had to bump the date. I guess that the best I can say about them is that Lisa would’ve loved them. My family certainly did and we owe them our eternal thanks for their kindness, understanding and sympathy.
