Charles F. Snyder Funeral Homes & Crematory recently renovated their King Street location in downtown Lancaster. Renovations included the introduction of an expansive picture window to the front of the building which adds bright, natural light to their large visitation room. Furthermore, ceilings were demolished in order to bring in new lighting. Heavy drapery was removed to call attention to the building’s architectural details, and along with the neutral shades of paint color, create a fresh, airy feeling of openness. The audio and visual equipment, as well as the restrooms, were also updated.

The Snyder Family repurposed some of the furniture in order to add a modern flair but keep the feeling of nostalgia. New furniture and wall art compliment the changes. The drapery was donated to the Fulton Theatre to use for backdrops and scenery.

“With the changing times, we want our customers and the community to know that we are here to stay and have a great urban environment setting in which to offer our services,” explains Chad Snyder. “Visitors have shared that it feels like a whole new place, and we welcome Natural Awakenings readers to stop by and take a tour.”
