Christian E. Oakes

In 2009, Ed’s son, Christian E. Oakes, became the funeral home’s fourth generation Business Manager. Chris attended Holy Saviour Elementary School. He is a graduate of Salesianum High School and Moravian College with a Masters Degree in music and voice. He married Lisa Cavicchio on June 29, 2001, and they have five children. He is the cantor at Holy Saviour Church. Chris’s comfortable manner helps allay your questions and concerns. He is diligent with details.

The historic ambiance and charm of our 120-year old structure cannot compare to those of newer-built facilities that have moved to the area, but our history and tradition of serving families, surely can. The Ward Funeral Home wishes to acknowledge the allegiance of the families living in or outside of Linwood for their patronage over the past 75 years. Thank You.
