For Gregory Vaitl, funerals weren't a family trade. Becoming a funeral director wasn't because he was following in the footsteps of a parent or because he'd experienced anything traumatic. It really was a calling.
For as long as he can remember, Greg has just been drawn to the industry-first attracted to the science aspect, then his desire to help families. He just couldn't stop thinking about it.
Why Lebanon? It's his home. Greg was born and raised in Lebanon County. He graduated from Lebanon High School in 1996 and earned an Associate's Degree in Applied Science of Funeral Service from Northampton Community College. Greg was awarded the Pennsylvania Funeral Director Student of the Year in 2007 and received his funeral director license in 2008.
While other members of his family have since moved to other parts of the state, Greg has felt compelled to stay. As the now owner and supervisor of Christman's Funeral Home, Inc., he's passionate about serving families with transparency and integrity in their time of need.
Greg is married to Alyssa Vaitl and has three daughters: Olivia, Addison and Scarlett. Active in the community, he is a member of Zion's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lebanon, Myerstown-Elco Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club of Lebanon and on the Board of CompeerCorps.
Kelly Ortiz grew up in Lebanon and is a 2005 graduate of Lebanon High School. She is a U.S. Navy Veteran and joined Christman's Funeral Home in 2013. Kelly and her husband, Abraham, have two daughters: Myalani and Khalia. She is an active member of Iglesia Nuevo Nacimiento. After experiencing her own loss in the family, she felt devoted to helping other families.
