About Merle E. Wood Funeral Home

Merle E. Wood Funeral Home is an independently owned funeral home located in Erie, PA. With only 4 Google reviews, there is limited public feedback available, though the reviews that exist average a 4.5-star rating; families may want to ask for references directly when making their decision. Direct cremation starts at $2,070, though comparison to the broader Erie market is difficult without additional local pricing data on hand. If you are considering this funeral home, speaking directly with staff about the full range of services offered and requesting a General Price List — which funeral homes are required by law to provide — would be a helpful next step.
