Wanton-Horne Chapel of Peace has always been a funeral home since
its original construction. Before it was the Chapel of Peace, it was Rizzo Funeral
Home since the 1930's.
The Wanton-Jones-Horne Chapel of Peace was born to
Ryton Wanton, Major Jones, and George Horne on June 1, 1993. Developing
from a dream while working for the E.F. Boyd and Son Funeral Home,
that we too, would one day own our own funeral home.
In 1988, the paths of the three of
us changed. Ryton became employed with the H.M. Martin Funeral Home
whom I give much credit to teaching me the business. Major and
George continued to work hard towards their goal. In 1992, the ideal
became reality when the State of Ohio licensed us as a
corporation.
In 1996 we changed our name to the Wanton-Horne
Chapel of Peace, Inc. Funeral Home.
