About Ware Funeral Home

Ware Funeral Home is an independently owned funeral home serving the Chillicothe, Ohio area. As a full-service provider, they offer both cremation and traditional burial options, giving families flexibility in how they choose to honor their loved one. Direct cremation starts at $1,995, which is a reasonable entry point for the region, though families should ask for a full General Price List to understand the complete range of costs. Reviewers on Google have given Ware a 5.0-star rating, though that score is based on 22 reviews, so it reflects a smaller sample than some larger providers — the consistent feedback does suggest families have felt well cared for during a difficult time.
