Williams-Ducro Funeral Home

Williams-Ducro Funeral Home, located at 1071 State Route 7 in Pierpont, Ohio, is a trusted and compassionate provider of funeral, cremation, and cemetery services. As part of the Ducro Family of Funeral Homes, this facility carries forward a rich tradition of personalized care and community service. The funeral home’s history is deeply rooted in Pierpont; the original location was at 96 State Road #7 South, directly across from the Pierpont Presbyterian Church, and served the community faithfully for many years. In 2012, the funeral home relocated to the south wing of the former Pierpont Elementary School, a building leased from Wright Farms. This move brought a sense of nostalgia and comfort to local families, as the newly remodeled and updated space tastefully displays photographs of former graduating classes from the days when Pierpont School served as a K-12 institution. The funeral home is helmed by funeral director Bernard “Bud” Williams, Jr., continuing a legacy of quality and compassionate service.

Williams-Ducro offers a comprehensive range of services to meet diverse needs and preferences. These include traditional full-service burial, full-service cremation, and direct cremation, with transparent pricing available. The facility features a large, spacious chapel equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual technology, allowing families to create personalized DVD tributes using cherished photographs. Certified Celebrants Kathleen Shaffer and Constance Scheanon are available to help design meaningful ceremonies that reflect the unique life of the deceased. The funeral home prides itself on creating lasting and loving tributes, such as parking a tractor in the front yard, making quilts, or displaying woodcraft items. A particularly distinctive offering is the use of an antique horse-drawn hearse to carry a loved one to their final resting place, adding a touch of old-world dignity and respect.

Beyond standard funeral and cremation services, Williams-Ducro also provides casket services, monument making, pet funeral services, and funeral celebrant services. The facility is wheelchair accessible with accessible parking, and it offers on-site parking and an on-site chapel for convenience. Financial assistance is available for families in need. As a family-owned and operated business, Williams-Ducro Funeral Home is recognized for meeting high quality standards, and its commitment to personalized, compassionate care has made it a cornerstone of the Pierpont community. Whether planning a simple or elaborate service, families can expect guidance, respect, and a deeply personal touch.
