With brothers who were Funeral Directors, Donald Martens realized the profession offered a wonderful opportunity to serve the local community during their time of loss. As a result, he opened his first funeral home in Cleveland in 1959. His sons, Donald Martens, Jr. and Dean Martens, followed in their father's footsteps, became licensed Funeral Directors themselves, and joined their father in tending to the funeral needs of several generations of Northeast Ohio residents.

Daniel L. Berry's family had been Funeral Directors in the Cleveland area for nearly 100 years, and Daniel also decided to follow his ancestors in practicing this time honored profession. In 2001 Daniel Berry and the Martens family combined their talents resulting in the formation of Daniel L. Berry & Donald Martens and Sons Funeral Homes. This partnership of two of Cleveland's most respected names in the Funeral Service Industry has over 125 years combined experience as Funeral Directors to their credit, and have performed funeral services for tens of thousands of families in the local area.

We met recently with Donald Martens, Donald Martens, Jr., Dean Martens, and Daniel L. Berry, and listened as they provided this overview of the services available at Daniel L. Berry & Donald Martens and Sons Funeral Homes;

Daniel L. Berry & Donald Martens and Sons Funeral Homes is a family-owned and operated funeral home. We provide a complete range of funeral services, including traditional funeral services, cremations, memorial services, veteran's services, and services for all religious denominations. We will guide you through all of the funeral arrangements, and advise you on every detail, including bereavement counseling, obituaries, clergy arrangements, casket and monument selection, and post-funeral reception planning.

We specialize in customized funeral services, such as Celebration of Life Funerals designed to commemorating a person's life. We provide Memory Boards, and have the capability to provide custom music during the visitation and the service. Families are encouraged to supply us with photographs, VHS tapes, and music that we can transfer to DVD format in memory of their loved one.

In addition to our facility at 11210 Detroit Avenue in Cleveland, we opened a second funeral home in November 2006 at 26691 Detroit Road in Westlake to service the Avon, Avon Lake, Bay Village, North Olmsted, Rocky River, and Westlake communities. Many of the families we have served throughout the past years have migrated to the western suburbs, and our new location is a great resource for all the families we have served over the years who now live in the Westshore community.

The Berry and Martens families have a longstanding tradition of serving the funeral needs of Cleveland families with compassion and professionalism. For more information, please call Daniel L. Berry & Donald Martens and Sons Funeral Homes and don't forget to tell them The Westlake, Ohio Community Advocate sent you!
