From the Lassahn Funeral Home website:

"Our History
Our funeral home was established toward the end of the civil war, in 1864, by Frederick Lassahn. Frederick was a blacksmith, wheel wright and cabinet maker by trade. His blacksmith shop was located on the southeast corner of Belair Road and Fullerton Avenue, in the Overlea area. It was through his trade that he became involved in the funeral business. He would supply caskets, which he had made, and rent horse drawn hacks to the local funeral directors in the area. His son, Henry C. Lassahn, followed his father's footsteps into the business. As did Henry's son, Edgar F. Lassahn, Sr., who became the third generation of his family to work in the funeral business. Edgar later married his wife, M. Eleonora Albrecht. Edgar and Eleonora had three children, two of which, Edgar F. Lassahn, Jr. and Ronald C. Lassahn also followed their ancestors footsteps and entered into the business during the mid-1900. Edgar, Jr. married Carol Cherko Lassahn. Carol, whose family owned and operated a funeral home in Yonkers, NY, also currently works with us.

In 1969, Edgar, Sr. purchased the Kingsville Inn. After two years of renovations, he opened our second location, E.F. Lassahn Funeral Home, P.A. Later, in 1990 and 1994, Edgar and Carol Lassahn, Jr.'s two children, Edgar F. Lassahn, III and L. Heather A. Lassahn both entered into the business making them the fifth generation to work in the business. Edgar (Fred), III’s wife, Lara and their oldest daughter, Alexis, now work at the funeral home. Heather’s son, Joseph, also works with us. Alexis and Joseph are the sixth generation of our family, to work at the funeral home.

Then in 2016, recognizing the need in the communities we serve, we added our own on-site crematory, Chesapeake Cremation Services, to better serve families.

It has been and continues to be our family's sincere desire to help families through the difficult time of suffering the loss of a loved one."
