About Rutherford Funeral Home-University

Rutherford Funeral Home-University is an independently owned funeral home located in Columbus, Ohio. As a full-service provider, they are equipped to handle both cremation and burial arrangements, with direct cremation starting at $1,995 and traditional burial starting at $2,385, which falls on the more accessible end of the pricing spectrum for the Columbus area. The home holds a 4.2-star Google rating, though with only 5 reviews, that score reflects a very limited sample and may not offer a reliable picture of the overall customer experience. Families looking for a locally owned alternative to larger corporate funeral chains may find this a worthwhile option to explore, but it would be reasonable to ask additional questions during an initial consultation given the limited public feedback available.

We had our little Miz Kittie taken care of here. They were absolutely fantastic. Kind, caring, concerned and wonderful listeners. She died in June of 2014. Our cat BabyBoy has Cancer. Vet says 1-2 months at the most. I am definitely calling them.
