Our History

Stephenson-Dougherty Funeral Home has served families in Avon and the surrounding communities for generations. Founded in 1925 by William Stephenson, our funeral home has remained a cornerstone of compassionate care in the community.

In 1952, the Dougherty family joined the business, bringing additional expertise and dedication to serving families during their most difficult times. For nearly a century, we have been privileged to help families honor their loved ones with dignity and respect.

Today, we continue our tradition of excellence while embracing modern approaches to memorial services, always focusing on creating meaningful tributes that celebrate each unique life.
