Why Choose BLM?
Even though Brown Legacy Memorial is just opening and doesn’t yet have a facility, several unique qualities set us apart from competitors:
1. Personalized, Multicultural Focus
Brown Legacy Memorial is dedicated to serving the community with a staff that reflects the diversity of the people we serve. We understand cultural nuances and provide a level of care that resonates with these communities, while also incorporating multicultural themes for broader inclusivity.
2. Affordable Services
We are committed to alleviating the financial burden on families by offering affordable funeral services without compromising quality. This approach allows families to honor their loved ones’ legacies without the worry of excessive costs, which sets us apart from competitors.
3. Convenient, One-Location Services
By partnering with Castillo Funeral Home, Brown Legacy Memorial offers families the convenience of holding services and gatherings in one location. This unique setup eliminates the need to travel between venues, which is rare in the Toledo area.
4. Community Engagement and Advocacy
Led by Richard Brown III, a dedicated advocate for criminal justice reform and racial equity, Brown Legacy Memorial is more than just a funeral home. We are actively engaged in addressing broader social issues, ensuring our presence as a community-driven business.
5. Future Integration of Mental Health Support
Brown Legacy Memorial plans to include licensed therapists in our services, providing mental health support for grieving families. This innovative approach addresses the emotional needs of families during their time of loss, a service that many competitors do not offer.
6. Diverse and Inclusive Staff
Our team includes both African American and Latino professionals, allowing us to offer personalized, culturally sensitive services that reflect the communities we serve.
7. Modern Social Media Engagement
We are also using innovative outreach methods, including live social media events like “Ask the Funeral Director” and consistent social media posts, to engage with families in ways many traditional funeral homes do not. Together, these elements set Brown Legacy Memorial apart as a compassionate, inclusive, and community-focused funeral home, even in the early stages of our growth.
