Our services to our communities began in 1916, with four generations of local families, to service with care and commitment to the Ohio Valley. At Chambers and James Funeral Homes, we have a tradition of providing professional service when our friends and neighbors are experiencing difficult times. Our caring staff is committed to provide guidance and support every step of the way—through pre-planning, burial and grief support. We know the people in our communities and the people know us.

Our two funeral homes were converted from large private family homes. Our facilities offer a relaxing home-like atmosphere with spacious seating and viewing areas.
Each funeral is an opportunity to honor, remember, and celebrate the life of a unique individual. There are many ways to personalize a funeral. We are experienced in developing personalized services. When the funeral is over, our service to you does not end. We can assist in family matters such as veterans benefits, social security, and insurance claims.
We are always here to answer any questions, concerns or comments you have about the services that we provide.
