About Shorten & Ryan Funeral HomeMason

Shorten & Ryan Funeral Home in Mason, Ohio is an independently owned funeral home, which typically means families work directly with the owners rather than through a corporate management structure. As a full-service provider, they are equipped to handle a range of end-of-life needs including both cremation and traditional burial arrangements. Direct cremation starts at $1,895, which is a reasonable entry point for the Cincinnati metro area and positions them as a mid-range option for families watching their budget. They hold a 4.3-star rating on Google, though with only 14 reviews, that score reflects a relatively small sample and may not capture the full range of family experiences — worth keeping in mind as you gather more information.
