Burcham Tobias Funeral Home

Burcham Tobias Funeral Home, located at 119 East Main Street in Fairborn, Ohio, has been a trusted pillar of the community for over 55 years. Founded in 1959 by Warren K. Burcham, the funeral home began as a small white house on Main Street in the village of Osborn, which later merged with Fairfield to form Fairborn after the Great Dayton Flood of 1913. Warren and his wife Frances served local families with dedication until Warren's untimely passing in 1985. Frances then sold the business to her nephew, Skip Burcham, who renamed it Burcham Funeral Home. Skip continued the legacy of compassionate service for three decades. In 2010, Skip's former apprentice Kevin Jennings became manager, and the funeral home was briefly known as Burcham Jennings Funeral Home. Following Skip's death in 2016, the funeral home merged with another local tradition, Tobias Funeral Home, forming Burcham Tobias Funeral Home in April 2017 after another renovation. Throughout these changes, the guiding principle has remained Warren K. Burcham's motto: "Service is our pride." Today, the funeral home offers a full range of services, including traditional funeral ceremonies, contemporary cremation services, burial services, and onsite chapel facilities. The staff specializes in designing personalized tributes that celebrate the unique life of each loved one, whether that involves a military funeral, a service reflecting outdoor passions, or a simple cremation. They also assist with writing obituaries, creating keepsakes, planning catered events, and guiding families through insurance claims and Social Security survivor benefits. The funeral home is part of the Dignity Memorial network, which provides a 100% service guarantee, 24/7 availability, and prepayment plans with up to 10% savings. Burcham Tobias Funeral Home is committed to accessibility, offering a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot, free on-site parking, and a welcoming environment for all. With strong community ties, locally operated leadership, and a history of adapting to meet changing needs, Burcham Tobias Funeral Home continues to provide caring, dignified end-of-life services to Fairborn and the surrounding Greene County area.
