Our Story

Oberlin-Ford Funeral Home was purchased by Earl C. Oberlin, Sr. in 1922 and known as Pray and Oberlin Mortuary. After Mr. Oberlin's death in 1927, the name was changed to Oberlin Funeral Home and was operated by Thelma Oberlin, one of the first women in Ohio to be licensed as a funeral director and embalmer.

In 1936, Mrs. Oberlin married B. Burr Ford who was also a licensed funeral director and embalmer, and he died in 1952. On February 1, 1956, Thelma and her son, Earl C. Oberlin, Jr., formed a partnership known as Oberlin-Ford Funeral Homes.

A new chapel was added to the facility in 1960, which gave the opportunity to offer multiple services if needed. In 2003 and 2004, a children's room, a new entry ramp, and a covered walk-way were added. Also, new automatic doors were installed to aid anyone with a physical challenge. A crematory was installed and began operation as Northwest Ohio Cremation Service. The Crematory was installed in our Greenisen Chapel in Bryan. This added another level of care offered to families in Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana. No longer do you need to trust another entity to care for your loved one who chose cremation as their final disposition.
