Five generations of the Johns and Carabelli families have created legacies in stone and bronze throughout Northeast Ohio’s cemeteries and graveyards. Their company is responsible for the massive granite oblisk that marks the grave of John D. Rockefeller in Lake View Cemetery, and the interior marblework of the Louis Comfort Tiffany-designed Wade Memorial Chapel nearby.
Monument making is the family business. In this episode of ThriveTalk, Northeast Ohio Thrive editor Marie Elium sits down with Michael Johns, CFO and master stone carver, and Monica Johns, president and design specialist, from The Johns-Carabelli Co. Semerano Monuments & Flowers. They talk about creating lasting memories of those who have passed on, the company’s rich history and their own family’s plans for a monument at Lake View Cemetery.
The Johns-Carabelli Co. Semerano Monuments & Flowers company has offices in Brookpark, South Euclid and Chardon. Their website is jcmemorials.com.
