Kirkpatrick Funeral Home

Kirkpatrick Funeral Home, located at 554 Washington Avenue in Washington Court House, Ohio, is a family-owned and operated funeral home that has been serving Fayette County and surrounding communities with dignity and compassion since 1913. Founded by Ansel W. Kirkpatrick upon his graduation from the Cleveland Embalming School, the business began in New Holland at 28 South Main Street and has remained under continuous family leadership for over a century. In 1948, the Kirkpatrick family expanded by purchasing what was then known as the Klever Funeral Home in Washington Court House, establishing a second location that has become a cornerstone of the community.

Together, they uphold the time-honored tradition of treating each family as their own, blending traditional values with respect for diversity and individual spirit.
