Snyder Funeral Home - Gunder/Hall Chapel

Snyder Funeral Home – Gunder/Hall Chapel, located at 347 West Center Street in Marion, Ohio, stands as a distinguished provider of funeral and cremation services in north-central Ohio. With a legacy spanning over a century, this chapel is the result of a thoughtful union between two deeply rooted funeral traditions: the Gunder/Hall & Folk Funeral Directors, established in 1910, and the Denzer-Farison-Hottinger & Snyder Funeral Home, which traces its origins to 1866. Today, it operates under the fourth-generation leadership of the Snyder family, who have been serving the region since 1922.

The chapel also provides veterans services, pet funeral services, and the convenience of an onsite chapel for services and visitations. Accessibility is prioritized with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot, and on-site parking is available for guests.

The history of this location is rich with community ties. The funeral home was originally established in 1910 by M.H. Gunder, who converted a state-of-the-art home at 347 West Center Street into a funeral parlor. Over the decades, it evolved through the dedicated stewardship of Larry Hall and Dave Folk, who together provided more than four decades of loving service. In 2015, the Snyder family—already respected for their professionalism and integrity—was chosen to carry forward this legacy. Clay and Chad Snyder, along with their dedicated staff, merged the operation with their existing Marion location, the Denzer-Farison-Hottinger & Snyder Funeral Home, creating a unified team focused on continuity of care.
