Cawley & Peoples Funeral Homes

Cawley & Peoples Funeral Homes, with its Marietta location at 408 Front Street, has been a trusted pillar of southeastern Ohio for over 150 years. Rooted in a tradition spanning seven generations across four families, this independently owned funeral home has served Washington County and the surrounding communities with unwavering compassion, integrity, and dignity. The Marietta chapel, established in 1898, stands as a historic and welcoming place where families gather to honor, reflect, and celebrate the lives of their loved ones.

As a full-service funeral home, Cawley & Peoples offers a comprehensive range of services designed to meet diverse needs and traditions. Traditional funeral and burial services allow families to create meaningful ceremonies that reflect their faith, culture, and personal values. The funeral home also provides complete cremation services, including an on-site crematory for added transparency and peace of mind. Memorial services, graveside ceremonies, and celebrations of life are carefully crafted to honor each unique life. Preplanning consultations give families the opportunity to make arrangements in advance, ensuring their wishes are known and relieving loved ones of decision-making burdens during difficult times. Veteran services are a particular point of pride, with staff members who are themselves veterans and understand the significance of military honors, coordinating VA benefits and creating tributes that reflect a life of dedication and sacrifice.

Beyond arrangements, Cawley & Peoples offers ongoing grief support through a virtual Healing Hearts Grief Support Group, meeting the first and third Tuesday of every month, providing a compassionate space for coping and connection. The home also features wheelchair-accessible entrances, parking, and onsite parking. Families appreciate the personalized attention, clear guidance, and caring atmosphere that define the Cawley & Peoples experience. With additional locations in Lowell and Barlow, the family of funeral homes remains committed to serving every family with respect, from immediate need to planning ahead. Whether through traditional services, cremation, or memorial tributes, Cawley & Peoples Funeral Homes stands ready to help families navigate loss with understanding and support, just as it has for generations.
