Karlo-Feucht Funeral Home owes its existence to the 1995 merger of Karlo & Sons Funeral Home in North Canton with the Atkinson-Feucht-Shaidnagle Sunset Hills Chapel.

In the early 1990s, the owners of Sunset Hills Burial Park wanted to provide Stark County families with a comfortable funeral home conveniently located across from their cemetery. Using the building of the former Duff’s Buffet Restaurant, they created three visitation chapels, a coffee lounge, a children’s play room, a large selection room and two arrangement offices.

When it opened in 1993 as Atkinson-Feucht-Shaidnagle Sunset Hills Chapel, the home was staffed by the funeral directors of Atkinson-Feucht-Shaidnagle Funeral Homes of Massillon and Navarre. It was the first Stark County funeral home that was not a converted residence. Atkinson-Feucht-Shaidnagle had been part of the community since its inception in 1906 as Gordon & Hollinger.

Karlo & Sons Funeral Home evolved from the former Lewis & Greenho Funeral Home located on the corner of Bitzer and South Main streets in North Canton. When Mike Karlo moved his family to North Canton in 1950, he renamed the business “Lewis & Karlo Funeral Home” and moved the operation a few buildings south to 512 South Main St. His sons, Mick and Ron, joined the family business in the 1960s. The business underwent two additional name changes – first “Lewis, Karlo & Sons Funeral Home” and later, “Karlo & Sons Funeral Home.”

After Karlo & Sons Funeral Home became a part of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral homes in 1995, a decision was made to include the Karlo name at the Sunset Hills Chapel, thus creating “Karlo-Feucht Funeral Home”.
