History
Established in 1845.
Wise Funeral Service has been in continuous operation since 1845, owned and operated by the Wise family, now in its fifth generation.
William Wise, a gifted carpenter and cabinet maker sold coffins and his sons became the first embalmers and funeral professionals in Bucyrus.
Wise Funeral Home began operating at its current location in the late 1920s and saw renovation and expansion in the 1960s and early 2000s.
Today, David Wise, William's great-great grandson, and Nate Roshon are serving families and creating meaningful, thoughtful and valuable experiences.
