Owen Family Funeral Homes Joins Titus Funeral Home
By Staff Report-
The acquisition includes the funeral home locations in North Webster and Syracuse, in addition to the crematory in Warsaw, according to a news release from Titus Funeral Home.
Funeral Director Cory Benz is the owner of Titus Funeral Home, which was founded in 1956 and can trace its Warsaw roots back to 1937. Benz is a certified crematory operator, pre-planning specialist and was recently awarded Young Adult Professional of the Year by Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce.
“Richard and Kym Owen have served the grieving in Kosciusko County for more than 30 years, providing unparalleled comfort during life’s difficult moments. Their funeral homes and crematory are known for their compassionate and trustworthy care. And, as the new owners, this will not change,” Benz said.
“I promise to maintain the same high level of care for which the Owen family and Titus Funeral Home are known for. There will be minimal changes in the day-to-day operations including our offer to maintain all staff in their existing roles. In fact, Richard will continue serving families as a funeral director. I am forever grateful to the Owen Family for their confidence in our team and for the opportunity to maintain their firms as local and family owned.”
In a letter sent earlier this week to those who have pre-planned funeral services with Owen Family Funeral Home, Owen said, “We know that Cory is an honest, compassionate and community-minded man. His reputation and work ethic have been greatly acknowledged in the Warsaw community. ... Cory recognizes that funeral service is a calling. He will serve Owen Family Funeral Homes and Cremation Services with thoughtful consideration and excellent service.”
With this purchase, Titus becomes the owner and operator of Kosciusko County’s only crematory, the release states.
