Our Story
We've learned a lot about caring for families over the years. We realize that we aren't just caring for a loved one, but the entire family. People come to us during their most difficult times, and we respond with kindness, understanding and expertise. Our goal is to make everyone feel at home as we work with them to create a memorable service in honor of a beautiful life.

One-stop convenience
Sunset Funeral, Cremation Services & Cemetery provides complete care at one location to better serve our families in the North Olmsted community. By bringing together Sunset Memorial Park and Dostal Bokas Funeral Services, we're able to give our families additional support and comfort by having their loved ones remain in our care from the beginning.

Serving families of all faiths since 1929
As a non-denominational cemetery, we've been serving families of all faiths since 1929.

170 rolling acres of beauty
Our cemetery sits on 170 rolling acres and shares the border with the Cleveland Metro Parks and overlooks the beautiful Rocky River.

Quality, sincerity and trust
We've been providing funeral and memorialization services to the area for nearly 100 years and have built a reputation on quality, sincerity and trust with services that celebrate the life of each individual and respect the wishes of every family. We offer a complete suite of services, including several chapels and banquet rooms for gathering after the service.

Every life is worth remembering, always.
We illuminate paths to peace with personalized ceremonies and memorial tributes that honor your loved one.
















What Families Are Saying
Veronica and Candice were so patient with my Father at the time my Mother passed away. Although my family has many years in the funeral/cemetery business it is different when the person passing is your own loved one. They both took great care of my family and answered all of our questions with professionalism.

Jackie and Torie made the arrangements very seamless, were very compassionate and so very patient. My family has used the cemetery services several times before, but I also chose to use the funeral services this time as well and I’m so glad I did! I’d do it again in a heartbeat. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
