About Us
 
Mike Coyne
Mike Coyne was born in Cleveland, attended St. Joseph High School and graduated from John Carroll University in 1968. He became a funeral director, his life-long goal, in 1969 and served his apprenticeship at McMahon-Murphy Funeral Home. He then worked at Mulqueeny Brothers Funeral Home in Painesville.

Mike came to work at McMahon Funeral Home in Willoughby when it was owned and operated by Lawrence McMahon. Mike purchased the business in 1976 and changed the name to McMahon-Coyne Funeral Home, with Mr. McMahon's blessings. McMahon-Coyne Funeral Home is a family operated business of which Mike is most proud.

Mike is known for his compassionate and gentle ways that enable him to give unique support to the families he serves. Together with sons Kevin and Seamus, McMahon-Coyne Funeral Homes will grow as the needs of our families grow, planning to add a crematorium facility in the near future. Mike and his family continue to pledge to earn the trust and confidence of all families in our community.

Anthony Vitantonio
Anthony Vitantonio is a third generation funeral director, continuing the Vitantonio family’s history of compassionate, professional care to grieving families in their time of loss. His grandfather, Anthony Vitantonio founded A. Vitantonio Funeral Home at 2097 Murray Hill Road in Cleveland’s Little Italy district in 1924. Anthony’s father Nicholas Vitantonio became a licensed funeral director in 1952 and worked with his father until 1968 when the funeral home was relocated to 2110 Murray Hill Road. That location had been the home of the S.A. Conti Funeral Home, which was started in 1907 and when purchased by Nicholas, became the Conti-Vitantonio Funeral Home. A second funeral home was opened in Mentor in 1980 on Center Street.

Following in his grandfather and father’s footsteps, Anthony joined the business in 1992 and became a licensed funeral director in 1997. In 2001, Anthony joined with Mike Coyne to form McMahon-Coyne-Vitantonio Funeral Homes.

Anthony is happily married with two children and is active in his home parish, Holy Rosary. He is very involved year long in the planning of the Feast of the Assumption, which takes place annually in mid-August in Little Italy.
