SALEM — Stark Memorial Funeral Home has taken delivery of its second cremation unit, further expanding its on-site cremation services. This addition marks another step in Stark Memorial’s ongoing commitment to providing the highest level of care for the families they serve.

Stark Memorial first introduced on-site cremations in 2022 with the installation of their initial cremation unit. Since then, cremation has become an increasingly popular choice, with 60% of the families they serve opting for this service.

“As more families choose cremation, we wanted to ensure that we continue to provide the same high quality of care. We felt the need to add a second unit to meet current demand and to prepare for the future,” said Dan Madden, owner of Stark Memorial Funeral Home. “By adding this second unit, we can better serve our families with enhanced efficiency, ensuring that their loved ones will never leave our care.”

Stark Memorial remains the only funeral home in Salem with an on-site crematory, setting them apart by offering families the comfort of knowing that their loved ones are always in the compassionate hands of the Stark Memorial staff.
