Compassion and innovation are embedded in the roots of Busch Funeral and Crematory Services—and it all starts with our caring Busch staff.
In our latest blog series, Meet Our Managers, you will get the opportunity to learn all about each of our location managers on a more personal level.
Next up we have Bob Solich. Bob is one of Busch’s longest-standing employees at nearly 40 years of service.
Bob brings his passion for service and community involvement to both our North Royalton and Parma funeral homes where he manages both locations.
When I started at Busch, we had two funeral homes and a staff of about 10. We're now at eight locations and about 70 staff members.
Some changes have included the different types of services we offer, and the locations and demographics we serve. In the beginning, we did a lot of the same types of services. Now, we're able to serve families of different religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Every day, we're doing something different.
I would say it would be “significant.”
I have always had the pleasure of having a job where you are doing something that makes a huge difference in somebody’s life. I’ve always felt like what I do every day is significant to somebody.
There are a couple of non-profit organizations I am on the board of.
Visiting Nurse Association of Ohio
So probably the best restaurant in Cleveland is the Flying Fig in Ohio City. Not only is the food wonderful, but it also always has great creativity.
Toast in the Gordon Square area—it started off as a cocktail bar, but they now have really interesting food.
The one I probably go to the most is Opal on Pearl in Brooklyn. A really good friend of mine owns Opal and originally wanted to open a wine bar—but it's evolved to serve really good food, so everyone goes in there for dinner.
If anyone out there is wanting to learn more about the funeral profession, just give us a call. People always ask what it takes to be a part of the business and I always just tell them, “You just have to be really kind and have a desire to help others.”
We're all about being caring and professional. Everyone that works here is well-trained to deal with anything and can help anyone with whatever they may need.
In my world, I would call it polished. Our job is direct. It’s always understood who is in charge at a funeral or memorial service. Our staff is always dressed appropriately and following Busch policies and procedures.
If you’re interested in planning final arrangements with our Parma or North Royalton locations, book a time to meet with Bob today. Along with the rest of our caring Busch staff, he is trained and experienced to provide you with answers to all of your questions.
