TOLEDO, Ohio — They met at a haunted house. So naturally, they’re getting married on Friday the 13th — inside a former funeral home.

Ryan Reyher and Stephanie Briceno-Rosas, a Grand Rapids, Michigan, couple, will tie the knot Friday, Nov. 13, at Mortuary Manor, the 60,000-square-foot former Urbanski Funeral Home at 2907 Lagrange St. in north Toledo that now operates as a funeral-home museum and paranormal investigation venue. It will be the first wedding ever held at the building, according to the Associated Press.

Their story started in the summer of 2020 at the Haunt in Grand Rapids, where Reyher met Briceno-Rosas and was immediately smitten. He asked her out at the end of August 2020, and six years later, the couple who share a love of all things spooky will marry on Friday the 13th, The Blade reports.

The venue is not your average wedding chapel. The building dates to the 1870s and was remodeled into a mansion-style structure in 1897. It became Urbanski Funeral Home in 1926 and served Toledo families for nearly a century before closing in 2025. Its tours take visitors through the embalming room, the autopsy room and a morgue where guests routinely pose for photos lying on a slab that juts out from a basement wall. Nine people are known to have died on the property itself, according to Haunted Rooms America.

For the couple, though, the spooky setting is the point. Their story started at a haunted house back home in Grand Rapids, and Friday the 13th — the unluckiest date on the calendar — is the day they chose to say “I do.”

Mortuary Manor’s first wedding leans all the way into the theme: guests who want to keep the party going can spend the night in a five-room suite for $200.

The building’s second life began after Urbanski’s Funeral Home closed in 2025. New owner Todd LaRosa reopened it as Mortuary Manor, a museum and ghost-hunting destination that has quickly become one of the most talked-about paranormal spots in Ohio — and now, apparently, a wedding venue too.

Friday the 13th weddings are rare enough. One inside a funeral-home museum, in a building where thousands were mourned? That’s a Toledo first — and a love story only this city could host.
