My family and I had to us Shaw-Davis funeral home for arrangements for my niece who passed unexpectedly, and they were all wonderfully professional and did not attempt to up-sell us nor did they charge obscene amounts for their services. My family had had a longstanding relationship with another funeral home in town, and although their service has been professional, their costs had become incredibly high. Thus, we explored other options, and boy were we glad we called on Shaw-Davis. All of the staff there are exceptional, but we really came to know and appreciate Alena the most. She is a very kind and considerate person and very helpful in choosing service items and for knowing just the right words for an obituary or memorial plaque. We would highly recommend Shaw-Davis, and especially Alena in your time of need. read more

I cannot recommend Shaw & Davis highly enough. After a friend recommended them for my brother's cremation, I found their services to be far above my expectations. From the very first phone call, Mr. Kip Shaw was AMAZING. As someone coming from out of town, I truly appreciated the utmost respect he showed me. ​The pricing was fantastic and, more importantly, honest--the initial quote was exactly what I paid, with no surprises. Mr. Kip made me feel at ease during every interaction, and the entire staff was extremely pleasant. They took wonderful care of my brother and made a difficult process much easier. If you are local or from out of town, please trust Shaw & Davis with your loved ones. read more

My Daughter passed in Jan, I gave this funeral home a picture of my daughter and was told she would look her very best. Her hair was not fixed the way it was in the photo, they only put foundation on her not full make like she was in photo. Her clothes looked like they was just thrown on her. I would not recommend this funeral home to anyone. I was so heartbroken over losing my daughter and to see her not even close to looking the way she made herself was heartbreaking as well. Her service was rushed, family and friends was rushed out of the funeral home due to them closing at 7. Please DO NOT use this funeral home. read more

Amy Shaw handled a challenging funeral arrangement for our family, and she was terrific. She was timely, responsive, attentive to detail, kind and compassionate, and went way beyond her duties in the situation. It is times like these when you truly appreciate the combination of diligence, guidance and understanding that Shaw Davis, and Amy Shaw in particular, provides. Thanks again for all your support and understanding. I highly recommend Shaw Davis. read more

My experience was bad. They had no record of my appointment, Adam Shaw had little recollection of the conversation he had with my sibling 14 hours earlier, and didn't bother apologizing for it. I couldn't help but wonder if they didn't care enough about the family, how would they treat my dead brother when he was in their care. No thanks, Shaw-Davis. read more

I used Shaw/Davis for my father's funeral. They were exceptional. Our director was Liz Nester and she was so empathetic and professional throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend them highly enough when you are dealing with such a difficult situation. Liz made everything easier and was very clear about the entire process. The prices are very reasonable and they don't try try to talk into a more expensive service than what your family decided on. read more

Shaw-Davis provided cremation services for my father. Adam Shaw and his team were extremely accommodating to our family. He did not push unnecessary purchases, and was very gentle in guiding us through the options we selected...the pros/cons, prices, and the timing of the process. My family and I were so pleased with their level of efficiency, while demonstrating a high level of sensitivity and care. This was a very sad time for our family, but Adam Shaw and his team helped to make the situation palatable. I highly recommend their services. read more

The social worker at the hospice suggested we contact Shaw-Davis after our sister died, and we found them to be wonderful! Our interview was conducted with grace and understanding. The people at the service performed their duties professionally. We never had to ask for anything or try to find them because they anticipated all our needs and filled them. I would certainly recommend them to anyone. Thank you to the entire staff for making a very difficult time easier! read more

When my Mom passed away after a brief illness, I did some research on the funeral homes in the Columbus area. At first blush, Shaw Davis had the best price for what the family was interested in (2 viewings, a service, and cremation). While price was a component of the decision we were making, it was not the determining factor. My wife, brother, and I sat down with Adam who was very helpful as we discussed our options. There was no high pressure sales tactics and no attempt to upsell us into things we were not interested in. Adam educated us on the details and procedures that occur behind the scenes so that we had a good understanding of what to expect and how the whole process worked. One of our concerns (as I am sure everyone can relate) is how my Mom would look as she lay in repose. This was especially concerning to us as she had a nasty abrasion across the bridge of her nose and a scar just above the hairline from a recent surgery. Adam's team did a fantastic job. Neither of the injuries were visible. Their use of cosmetics was only what was needed and not over the top. They also painted her nails and used the lipstick that we provided to make Mom look better than we thought was possible given the circumstances. We remain deeply appreciative of their work and extremely grateful for their compassionate professionalism as they guided us through this difficult process. While none of us ever want to go through this...we all must unfortunately. I would highly recommend Shaw Davis Funeral Home for anyone who is choosing which facility to use for the cremation or burial needs of their loved one. read more

My family and I have used Shaw-Davis Funeral Homes for three of our family members, my grandmother, then my father and most recently my brother. They are wonderful to work with. Whenever I see Kip, it is bittersweet because we have lost someone but I know that my loved one and my family is in the best of hands and will be treated with the utmost respect. Kip and everyone on his staff are always helpful, kind, caring and patient and financially, Kip always works with us to get us just what we need, nothing more, nothing less. I highly recommend them and wish I could give them more stars than just 5. read more

If you have a loved one who has passed away and want it handled correctly Do Not Use this funeral home service!!! They botched my father's obituary writing the wrong date Of death by six months and wrote the wrong age and when it was brought to their attention Kip Shaw put the blame back on the family even though we had sat with Kip Shaw and wrote out all the information with him!! If this wasn't bad enough they claimed to continually call my phone number and not be able to get a hold of me when it was them who wrote the wrong phone number down. We were told we will be contacted prior to the obituaries running as to the cost and when the obituary was going to run neither of which were done and only found out the obituary had run when the family began getting embarrassing phone calls as to why we had waited six months for my father to pass before alerting anyone:( The poor service doesn't stop there:( My father had picked this funeral Home service as he was a frugal man and he Wanted to make things easier on his children and he would be so upset and disappointed as to how they handled it.Mistakes made every step of the way!!!!! I am the only family member in Ohio and This funeral home service not only couldn't get the right phone number but couldn't email as well. I'm not sure if they are illiterate or just don't care. Even after over $1000 was paid we could not get a receipt until I walked into the crematorium to pick it up. Losing a loved one is hard enough but I have to deal with incompetency makes it so much harder. read more

Very unprofessional and unsympathetic. Greeted us in tennis shoes, told us how "the General" - Mr. Shaw - scatters ashes of those whom the family does not want back at his beach house on Buckeye Lake. We had to call to find out our Mother had been cremated days before and was ready to be picked up. They then called back to see if we wanted her belongings back - she had none with her. They checked and said "Sorry, we mixed up the names. She doesn't have anything that needs to be picked up". What else did they "Mix up"???. The greeting at pick up was also very cold and unprofessional. Use Rutherford or Newcomber. read more

I did some research on the funeral homes in the Columbus area as I was from another town. Shaw Davis had a Cremation package which was so helpful, as I had no idea what I needed. Called other funeral homes & used that info to check others prices for the same items. While price was a component of the decision we were making, it was not the determining factor. I liked that they help educate me & was straight forward with their pricing. I sat down with Adam who was very helpful as we discussed our options. There was no high pressure sales tactics and no attempt to upsell us into things we were not interested in. Adam educated us on the details and procedures that occur behind the scenes so that we had a good understanding of what to expect and how the whole process worked. Perfection is the one word I would use for their care & service from beginning to end. Organized and professional! I am a business owner & evaluate the service I get from other companies. I always have complaints...lol...or recommendations. Not a one in this case. read more
