Funeral Homes in Shelby, OH

Lantzer Funeral Home has been family-owned and operated for nearly a century, with three generations of family involvement, including the first female funeral director in the lineage when Barbara Garver earned her license in 1997.

Watters Funeral Home has maintained continuous family ownership under Bruce Watters since 1984 and operates dual locations in Monroe County under separate brand names (Watters in Woodsfield and Brubach-Watters in Summerfield).

The funeral home's predecessor, the Ballinger family operation, provided ambulance service with 24-hour on-call staff and helped organize the Richwood Emergency Squad, pioneering emergency medical response in the area before fire departments took over those services.
