In 1892 the Monreal Company
Funeral Home was located at 26th St.
and St. Clair Ave in Cleveland. The funeral home
was opened under the direction of
Joseph Monreal. In 1917 the business
had moved to 110th St. and St. Clair
Ave. This was one of the first
buildings designed solely for the
purpose of a funeral home. During
the next nineteen years the second
generation of Monreal' s (William,
Frederick, John, and Phillip) took over
the business. In 1936 the business had
expanded to a second location at 151st
St. and Euclid Ave. Still under the
direction of the second generation of
Monreal's, the funeral home expanded
again in 1957 to a third location on
Vine St. in Willowick. The Monreal
Company is the original funeral home
of Willowick and St. Mary
Magdalene's Parish. During the 15
years in Willowick the business turned
over to the third generation of
Monreal's (William A. Sr. and James)
and then moved to Eastlake in 1972.
Between 1967 and 1972 the two other
locations had closed their doors
leaving the business in Eastlake.
During the last 25 years in Eastlake
the Monreal Company Funeral Home
has moved on to it's fourth generation
of Monreal's (William A. Jr., Edward,
and Mary Pat). 
This new year brings
the original Monreal Company
Funeral Home 105 years of service
and 25 years being part of Eastlake
and surrounding communities.
