Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

          The Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company,
and separate Indemnity Agreements, provide for the indemnification of 
each director and officer of the Company in connection with any claim,
action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of his
position with the Company.  In addition, the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware ("Delaware Law") permits the Company to indemnify
its directors, officers and others against judgments, fines, amounts
paid in settlement and attorneys' fees resulting from various types of
legal actions or proceedings if the actions of the party being
indemnified meet the standards of conduct specified in the Delaware Law. 
           
          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions referred
to above or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion
of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post- effective amendment to this registration statement and to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material changes to such information in the registration statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions referred to above or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person against the Company in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                        CHEMED CORPORATION
                                 ___________________________         
                                           Date          

         In accordance with the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") of Chemed Corporation (the "Corporation"), you are hereby
granted an option to purchase _________  shares of the capital
stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Corporation upon the
following terms and conditions.           

         (1)  The purchase price shall be $________  per share. 
Payment thereof shall be made in cash or, subject to the next
sentence, by delivery to the Corporation of shares of capital
stock of the Corporation which shall be valued at their Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise, or in a combination of cash and such
shares.  Your right to pay the purchase price, in whole or in
part, by delivery to the Corporation of shares of capital stock of the
Corporation is expressly subject to the condition that such
shares are then being publicly traded on a principal stock exchange or
in the over-the-counter market, and whether or not such shares are
then being publicly traded, such right may be temporarily or
permanently revoked or withdrawn at any time and from time to
time by action of the Board of Directors of the Corporation without
any requirement that advance notice of such revocation or withdrawal
be given to you.           

         (2)  Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (3) and
(6), this option is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and
from time to time as follows:

     ___________  shares on or after _________________ , 199_
     ___________  shares on or after _________________ , 199_    

     ___________  shares on or after _________________ , 199_    

     ___________  shares on or after _________________ , 199_    


Once an installment becomes exercisable, it may be exercised at
any time in whole or in part until the expiration or termination of
this option.          
                             E-2

                         Page 7 of 22

         Neither this option nor any right hereunder may be
assigned or transferred by you, except by will, the laws of
descent and distribution, pursuant to a qualified Domestic Relations
order, or by a permitted transferee.  It may be exercised during your
life only by you or a permitted transferee.  Within fifteen (15)
months after your death it may be exercised only by your estate, by a
permitted transferee, or by a person who acquired the right to
exercise the option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of
your death.  At the time of each exercise of this option, you or the
person or persons exercising the option shall, if requested by
the Corporation, give assurances, satisfactory to counsel to the
Corporation, that the shares are being acquired for investment
and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof and assurances
in respect of such other matters as the Corporation may deem
desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.     

         (3)  This option, to the extent that it shall not have
been exercised, shall terminate when you cease to be an employee
of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, unless you cease to be an
employee because of your resignation with the consent of the Incentive
Committee or because of your death, incapacity or retirement
under a retirement plan of the Corporation or a Subsidiary.  If you
cease to be an employee because of such resignation, this option shall
terminate upon the expiration of three months after you cease to
be an employee, except as provided in the next sentence.  If you
cease to be an employee because of your death, incapacity or retirement
under a retirement plan of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, or if
you cease to be an employee because of your resignation with the
consent of the Incentive Committee and die during the three-month
period referred to in the preceding sentence, this option shall
terminate fifteen (15) months after you ceased to be an employee.

Where this option is exercised more than three months after
termination of employment, as aforesaid, only those installments
which shall have become exercisable prior to the expiration of
three months after you ceased to be an employee, whether by death
or otherwise, may be exercised.  A leave of absence for military
or governmental service or for other purposes shall not, if approved
by the Incentive Committee, be deemed a termination of employment
within the meaning of this paragraph (3), provided, however, that
this option may not be exercised during any such leave of
absence. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (3) or
any provision of the Plan, this option shall not be exercisable
after the expiration of ten years from the date this option is
granted.

                         Page 8 of 22

         (4)  The number and class of shares or other securities
covered by this option and the price to be paid therefor shall be
subject to adjustment as, and under the circumstances, provided
in Section 8 of the Plan.

         (5)  This option may be exercised only by serving
written notice on the Secretary or Treasurer of the Corporation.  The
Corporation shall deliver the shares to you against payment; 
provided, however, no shares shall  be issued or transferred 
pursuant to this option unless and until all legal requirements 
applicable to the issuance or transfer of such shares have, in
the opinion of the counsel to the Corporation, been complied with. 
Any Federal, state or local withholding taxes applicable to any 
compensation you may realize by reason of the exercise of the
option or any subsequent disposition of the shares acquired on
exercise shall, upon request, be remitted to the Corporation or
the Subsidiary by which you are employed at the time of exercise or
sale, as the case may be.  You shall have the rights of a
stockholder only as to stock actually delivered to you.          

         (6)  If you are or become an employee of a Subsidiary,
the Corporation's obligations hereunder shall be contingent on
the approval of the Plan and this option by the Subsidiary and the
Subsidiary's agreement that (a) the Corporation may administer
the Plan on its behalf, and (b) upon the exercise of the option, it
will purchase from the Corporation the shares subject to the
exercise at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, such
shares to be then transferred by the Subsidiary to the holder of
this option upon payment by the holder of the purchase price to
the Subsidiary.  Where appropriate, such approval and agreement of
the Subsidiary shall be indicated by its signature below.  The
obligations of the Subsidiary so undertaken may be waived by the
Corporation.          

         (7)  The Plan is hereby incorporated by reference.  Each
term which is defined in the Plan and used in this option shall
have the same meaning in this option as it has in the Plan.  This
option is granted subject to the Plan and shall be construed to
conform to the Plan.
                                Very truly yours,

                                CHEMED CORPORATION

Chemed Corporation

Dear Sir or Madam:          

         In connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8
to be filed by Chemed Corporation (the "Corporation") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission covering shares of the
Corporation's capital stock, par value $1 per share (the "Capital
Stock"), to be issued pursuant to the Corporation's 1995 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), you have requested me as Vice
President and Secretary to the Corporation to render my opinion
with respect to the matters to which reference is made herein.    
     
         I have examined and am familiar with the Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws of the Corporation, the minutes of the
meetings of its directors and stockholders, the Plan and the stock
incentives to be granted pursuant thereto.           

         Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the
shares of Capital Stock issued pursuant to stock incentives granted
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan will, when
issued in accordance with the terms of said stock incentives, be
validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation.          

         I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to said Registration Statement.                           

                             Sincerely,

                             /S/ NAOMI C. DALLOB
