About Harter Family Funeral Home

Harter Family Funeral Home is a full-service funeral home in Ashland, Ohio operating under the Harter family name, though it is owned by Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in the country — something families who prefer independent or locally owned providers may want to consider. The home offers a range of services including burial and cremation, and the staff appears to handle arrangements with care and attentiveness based on customer feedback. Pricing information was not available for this review, so families are encouraged to request a General Price List directly from the funeral home, which they are legally required to provide. The home holds a 4.0-star rating on Google, but with only four reviews, that number reflects a very limited sample; most reviewers describe staff as kind, compassionate, and professional, while one review raises a concern about a miscommunication around a pet cremation arrangement that resulted in a lengthy trip without resolution — worth keeping in mind if clear follow-through on logistics matters to you.

We were very pleased with the way we were treated with both my parents funerals. They are kind, caring, patient and compassionate. It's been a couple years but I wanted to share.

I was so pleased with the respect and comfort that was given to me during the very difficult time of the passing of my husband. A special thank you to Kevin Harter for going above and beyond in helping me.

I called to make cremation arrangements for my dog earlier this week. The lady said they could, all I needed to do was drop my dog at the Mansfield location and she even said she would call them to let them know I was coming the next day.
