The Columbus Memorial Center at 5464 North High Street serves as their original location, remodeled in 2013 with updated interiors and branding. The North Central Ohio Memorial Center opened in 2019 at 9 Chambers Road in Mansfield, positioned across from Mansfield Memorial Park Cemetery. The Mansfield facility includes a memorial chapel and dedicated catering space with countertops and full refrigerator for post-service receptions. Both locations offer arrangement spaces for in-person planning.
Their service philosophy centers on simplicity and transparency—four core cremation packages with itemized inclusions and no hidden fees. All packages include transportation within 30 miles ($4/mile beyond) and their proprietary Worry-Free Cremation™ process.
Ohio Cremation & Memorial Society opened in 1995 as the state's first cremation society, founded to give families a simple, stress-free alternative to traditional funeral homes. Operating from two locations—the Columbus Memorial Center on North High Street and the North Central Ohio Memorial Center in Mansfield—they serve families across Central and North Central Ohio including Columbus, Upper Arlington, Whitehall, Lancaster, Mansfield, Ashland, Bucyrus, Shelby, and surrounding communities.
The firm maintains its own private crematory, meaning loved ones never leave their professional care for third-party cremation. This vertical integration supports their trademarked Worry Free Cremation™ process, a 10-step identification protocol designed to eliminate the errors and anxiety that plague outsourced cremation arrangements. Remarkably, they held prices steady from 1995 until 2025, a 30-year price freeze that underscores their commitment to affordability.
Licensed by the State of Ohio Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors, they offer arrangements in-home, by phone, online, or at either memorial center. The Columbus location underwent a significant remodel in 2013, while the Mansfield facility opened in 2019 with modern chapel and catering amenities.
