General Info

Our funeral home was founded in Mount Eaton, Ohio in 1888 by Jules Desvoignes. Mr. Desvoignes operated a furniture store and funeral home at our current location on Main Street. Following his untimely death in 1926, Jules son, Harris W. Desvoignes, a local school teacher and funeral director, took over the business. It was known as the Desvoignes Funeral Home until 1973 when C. Waid Spidell purchased the firm. The firm was known as the Desvoignes-Spidell Funeral Home until 1980 when Waid opened a second location in Brewster, Ohio and changed the name to Spidell Funeral Home. The Brewster Chapel is located in the former North Brewster Elementary School. Waid's son, Scott W. Spidell, joined the business in 1991 following graduation from mortuary science school and purchased the business from his father in 2006. In 2009 Navarre native John L. Feucht joined the firm. John has been serving families of Stark County for more than forty years with the Atkinson-Feucht and Karlo-Feucht Funeral Homes. Spidell Funeral Home remains a family owned and operated business dedicated to our community and the families we are honored to serve.
