In The Beginning

The Vaschak Funeral Home in Youngstown, Ohio was founded by Joseph G. Vaschak, Sr. in 1907.

The funeral home was first located on Front Street then later moved to the former Burdman Home, which was located on Lincoln Ave. It was said that the prior owners told Joseph Vaschak when he was ready to move from that location, the building would be torn down rather than sold.

In 1965, Youngstown State University purchased the property for the expansion of their campus and the funeral home was demolished.
