Monroe County Chamber of Commerce Member, Capaul Funeral Home, celebrates over 80 years of service!
The Capaul Funeral Home was originally opened by Clifford Capaul, a graduate of the Training School for Embalmers in Columbus, Ohio, in 1936 in the former Andrew Kurtz home at 2869 Lewis Ave in Ida. In May of 1938 he moved the business to the former Simeon Van Akin home at 2932 Lewis Ave, also in Ida.
Norman Capaul, also a graduate of the Training School for Embalmers, took over the business in 1944 when Clifford died in an auto accident while he was traveling home from a rationing board meeting. Norman purchased the business from Clifford’s wife and relocated to its present location which was the grand home of three Ida Area doctors. Norman ran the firm alone until 1955 when William earned his degree in mortuary science from Wayne State University. William worked briefly with his father until entering the service
and then rejoined the business in 1959, upon exiting the Army. He continued to operate the business after Norman’s retirement in 1976.
William’s son, David, joined in the operation of the business upon his graduation from Mortuary School at Wayne State University in 1986 and took over management of the business upon William’s death in 1990. On February 17, 2014, David’s son, Benjamin D. Capaul, joined the professional staff. Benjamin is a graduate of Wayne State University and is the third generation to graduate from the School of Mortuary Science at Wayne State University.
Capaul Funeral Home provides services tailored to your needs and desires. They understand the importance of services that honor the memory of a loved one and therefore proceed with the utmost dignity and respect. It is their mission to assure that every service they provide is as comforting and memorable as possible.
