Funeral Homes in Logan & Chapmanville, West Virginia

Honaker Funeral Home

Honaker is Logan's go-to full-service provider — offering the complete range from traditional burial to cremation to preplanning and aftercare support. They understand that many Logan County families are navigating both grief AND financial stress simultaneously. If you need a provider who can walk you through options at every price point, Honaker is the call to make.

Collins Funeral Home

Here's what makes Collins different from every other funeral home in this directory: owner Dale Collins worked as a coal miner for 5 years before attending Mid-America College of Funeral Services in Jefferson, Indiana, where he earned his degree in Mortuary Science. He didn't study death care from a textbook — he lived the same life, worked the same shifts, and faced the same economic realities as the families he now serves. That background isn't marketing. It's the reason he understands what a $5,700 funeral means to a family living on a coal miner's pension or a disability check.

James Funeral Home (Akers-James)

An established Logan independent. Akers-James provides traditional funeral and cremation services to Logan County families. In a 7-provider market, every additional option gives families leverage on pricing. Include them in your comparison calls.

Chatman Funeral Home

A smaller Logan independent. In the coalfields, smaller often means more flexible — on pricing, on timing, on accommodation. If the larger providers' quotes don't fit your budget, Chatman is worth a call.

Pond Funeral Home

Another Logan independent adding to the competitive landscape. Seven providers in a county of 33,000 people means nobody has a monopoly — and that competition is what keeps Logan's prices the lowest in the state.

Evans Funeral Home

Evans is Chapmanville's primary funeral provider — serving families along the Guyan Valley from their Crawley Creek Road location. For families in Chapmanville, Harts, Yolyn, and the surrounding hollows, Evans is closer than any Logan provider. They handle transportation from remote communities throughout the southern part of the county.

Freeman Funeral Home

The second Chapmanville option — giving Guyan Valley families a genuine local choice without driving to Logan. Freeman and Evans compete directly for the same Chapmanville-area families, which keeps pricing honest in the western half of the county.

UMWA Death Benefits

If the deceased was a United Mine Workers of America member, the UMWA Health and Retirement Funds may provide a death benefit. This is money many coalfield families don't know they're entitled to.

VA Burial Benefits — up to $2,004

📞 1-800-772-1213

Employer Life Insurance — check every job

Call every employer the deceased worked for in the last 20 years. Group life insurance policies often exist that families don't know about — even for jobs held years ago.

Church and Community Support

Logan's tight-knit church communities — Freewill Baptist, Church of God, Methodist, and others — often provide food, donations, and direct financial help. Don't hesitate to ask your congregation.

Direct Cremation — $1,050

If finances are the deciding factor, direct cremation at ~$1,050 is the most affordable option that gives the family control. Hold a memorial gathering at your church — most Logan County churches host these at no charge.
