NORTH WEBSTER — Titus Funeral Home and Cremation Services presented its updated facilities at 8056 E. 500N in North Webster with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday, June 3, followed by an open house.

“We’re excited to continue to be a part of the North Webster community,” said Titus Owner and Co-Funeral Director Cory Benz. He welcomed the community to stop by and see for themselves the updates made to the facility. The event, which also features refreshments and hors d’oeuvres provided by Charcuterie by the Lakes, will continue until 2 p.m. There are also giveaways to local area businesses.

“The goal of the renovation was to lighten the mood; to make the space more home-like, so  the families we work with can focus on fellowship and grieving in a comfortable environment. We’ve worked to bring some of the outdoors into the space and to reflect the lake communities we serve, while making the space more comfortable for all who come through our doors.”

Some of the community partners the funeral home works with regularly were also present to share products and information, including Sue’s Creations, Stillwater Hospice, Allison & Associates Medicare Advisors and North Webster-Tippecanoe Chamber of Commerce.
