History

In October 1997, an expansion into Mingo Jct., Ohio took place with the acquisition of the Hoff Funeral Home, now known as Hoff - Shorac Funeral Home. Hoff Funeral Home was founded by Donald & Darlene Hoff in 1950.

Shorac Funeral Homes acquired the McClave-Chandler-Mills Funeral Home, in the North End historic district on June 20, 2008.  The former McClave Funeral Home  was the oldest funeral business in Steubenville, with roots in the 1895 establishment of a funeral home by D.F. Coe on North Fifth Street. Ira C. McClave joined the Coe Funeral Home as an apprentice funeral director and embalmer on November 5, 1906.  The business moved to what was the W.H. Lowe residence on Market Street, now occupied by the City Rescue Mission, on September 1, 1915. McClave and F.D. Hennesy bought the Coe Funeral Home January 1, 1924, and McClave assumed full ownership in 1928, with the funeral home renamed McClave Funeral Home.

These three locations now comprise what is known as Shorac Funeral Homes operated by Sam Shorac & his wife Ann Polsinelli Shorac.

Shorac Funeral Homes are proud to serve area families of all faiths.

Shorac Funeral Homes include a full staff of licensed funeral directors, embalmers & funeral service associates.
