THE BRICKMAN FAMILY TRADITION

The tradition of directing funerals in the Brickman family started in 1910 with Charles P. Brickman Sr. He opened his own home as a funeral home at 7204 Superior Ave. across from St. Francis Catholic Church in Cleveland. Five of his sons decided to serve families as funeral directors and embalmers with him.

In 1952 they purchased Judge Brewer's home in Euclid. Charles P. Brickman Sr. died in 1953. Eugene, Charles Jr., Paul Sr., Frank and Ralph continued to serve families from both locations until the funeral home on Superior Ave. was closed in 1968.

Paul, Frank and Ralph had six sons follow them into funeral service. Ron, Den, Bill, Joe, John and Phil were proud to have worked side by side as funeral directors and embalmers with their fathers.

From 1952 to 2005 the Brickmans served Euclid and surrounding communities from the Euclid location. In February of 2005 the Brickmans were terminated from employment by Brickman & Sons Funeral Home in Euclid. The Brickmans did not quit. They would have been forced to serve families in ways unacceptable to them, their fathers and grandfather.

Wanting to honor and serve families as they were taught by their fathers and grandfather and to uphold a tradition of a family owned and operated business, Ron, Den, Bill, Joe, John and Phil decided to start a new funeral home for Eastern Cuyahoga and Lake Counties. They purchased the former Utopia Club on Euclid Ave. in Willoughby.
