An open house was held at Joseph Vertin & Sons Funeral Home on Sunday, November 14, 1993, to celebrate a major remodeling project. The only major renovation up to this was the construction of an office addition in 1977.

The renovation of the 31 year-old structure was an important step in the long line of progress in the family owned business. Bringing the "home" atmosphere back into the funeral home setting was the basic concept behind the project. The renovation made the funeral home completely handicapped-accessible and more in tune with today' needs. The building is now about a third larger than it was previously, with a larger foyer/lobby area, a fireplace, a new chapel, new furnishings, a spacious arrangement room, and a comfortable lounge or second family room.
