Shaffer Funeral Home

Shaffer Funeral Home has been a compassionate and caring presence in the Romney, WV community for nearly 70 years. Nestled in the heart of the town, our facility, housed in the historic Cornwell Mansion, provides a warm and inviting space for families to gather, remember, and say their final goodbyes. We believe that each life is unique and deserves a personalized farewell that reflects the individual's story and the love they shared with their family and friends.

Our Mission

At Shaffer Funeral Home, our mission is to provide compassionate, personalized, and dignified funeral services that meet the unique needs of every family we serve. We strive to be a source of comfort and support during one of life's most difficult times.

A Tradition of Service

The Cornwell Mansion, our home, exudes a sense of history and warmth, providing a comforting backdrop for funeral visitations and services. Beyond these somber occasions, we believe in being an active part of our community.

We eagerly open our doors to host various community events, such as Hospice gatherings, Rotary meetings, car shows, and our annual Community Trunk or Treat event. These events reflect our commitment to being more than just a funeral home-we aim to be a gathering place, a source of support, and a partner in celebrating life's diverse moments.

A Full Range of Services

We offer a comprehensive range of funeral and memorial services tailored to individual needs and preferences. This includes:

• Traditional Funerals: Formal services held in our chapel, often including a viewing, eulogy, and interment at a cemetery.

• Cremation Services: Simple and dignified services commemorating the life of a loved one following cremation.

• Memorial Services: Celebrations of life held after cremation or burial, allowing families to share memories and pay tribute to their loved one.

• Personalized Tributes: We work closely with families to create unique and meaningful tributes that reflect the personality, interests, and legacy of the deceased.

• Pre-Arrangement Services: Allowing individuals to plan their funeral in advance, providing peace of mind for themselves and their loved ones.

We understand that each family's journey is unique, and we are dedicated to providing compassionate guidance, understanding, and support throughout the entire process.
