It was at that time that the new Vaschak Funeral Home was built and established at 3100 Canfield Rd. in Cornersburg. At the same time, Michael J. Kirila, Sr. owned and operated the Kirila Funeral Home at 258 Poland Ave, in Struthers Ohio, which he founded in 1952 after moving to Youngstown from Mercer, PA.
In 1981, when Mr. Vaschak was ready to retire, Mr. Kirila, Sr. purchased the funeral home on Canfield Road. His son, Michael J. Kirila, Jr. became the sole owner and operator of the now "Vaschak-Kirila Funeral Home".
