Toland-Herzig Chosen
"Small Business of the Year"
by the Tuscarawas County Chamber of Commerce

The Toland-Herzig Funeral Homes of Dover and Strasburg, Ohio have been awarded the 1998 "Small Business of the Year" presented by the Tuscarawas County Chamber of Commerce at their 40th annual banquet held Tuesday, January 19, at New Philadelphia, Ohio.

Toland-Herzig was chosen in part for "...its exceptional service to area families and the integrity in which it conducts business," and was also cited for "...the caring programs and services it offers to families," said the Times Reporter newspaper in a related story.

The firm, which is also celebrating its 70th anniversary in 1999, continues to receive statewide recognition for its unique grief support program.  The program consists of a ten week structured support group, monthly on-going social outings, and special activities such as "A Walk to Remember" and "Ribbon of Remembrance" Memorial Day campaign in addition to an annual grief seminar and professional workshop, which for the past six years has brought nationally known speakers in the field of grief and bereavement to the area.  All of Toland-Herzig's bereavement services are offered free of charge and open to any area residents who have suffered a loss.
