About Defenbaugh Wise Schoedinger Circleville
Defenbaugh Wise Schoedinger Circleville is part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral chain in the United States, which is worth knowing as some families prefer locally or independently owned providers. No information is available on current pricing for direct cremation or traditional burial, so families should contact the funeral home directly to request a General Price List, which all funeral homes are required by law to provide. The funeral home holds a 4.9-star rating across 31 Google reviews, which is a strong rating though based on a relatively modest number of responses. Reviewers consistently describe the staff as compassionate, attentive, and proactive — several specifically noted that the team handled details without needing to be asked, and a few mentioned receiving follow-up communication after services were completed.

a month agoThey were kind and very helpful at a time that I was in sorrow. They aided me in choosing what to do with services, where to have a service, and food I purchased for people who came was wonderful. The funeral went as planned. They were a great comfort to me.
