Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions, Akron

I never write reviews but this place deserves so so so much more praise for the over and beyond they went for my son and daughter in law. Losing a baby is the hardest thing anyone could possibly ever go through and for them of enduring it two times in a row planning a funeral wasn't easy by no means. The mom had battled back and fourth over the phone and email with the hospitals, pathology department and funeral home. Trying to get this baby to the funeral home and be put to rest. With so many unanswered questions and such pain they were feeling the whole world felt like it was coming down. Joe one of the workers made it very clear he was not playing about the situation and that the baby was being picked up by his staff and they were going to answer our questions!! Within 5 minutes Mr Joe got everything he needed and they were able to name the baby and with joes help arrange a funeral for their stillborn baby boy. In such a horrible time Newcomers funeral home turned over a 2,000$ arrangements into a very very reasonable amount. Reasonable isn't even the right words for this they basically handed everything to my daughter in law with such sorrow and hat they hardly payed anything at all. She came home with tears of joy with a little gift they had gave her for the baby. I can't say how amazing this place is and how much they truly truly care for everyone involved and they will absolutely do everything in their power to make things absolutely perfe t!!!!nNewcomers thank you for everything!!

My mother and I had a wonderful experience here. I believe it was a woman named Melissa that was our funeral director. She was very kind and walked us through everything giving us as much time as we needed. There was no pressure about any services and the home is very reasonably priced.

I had called a previous funeral home after my dads passing, I didn’t like the vibe I got from them it just didn’t feel right. So I called newcomer the next morning. From the first phone call with Charles to meeting them and the arrangements I felt so at ease with newcomer. They are very respectful and made the process as easy as it could be for me and my family. Thank you Charles and Newcomer family for helping me and my family through this process.

Joe went above and beyond with helping me plan my father’s funeral. I could not ask for a better service for my father. It was beautiful. Also, Kimberly Watson was very professional and kind. I would not use another funeral home. Thank you for helping me. I can’t express enough the gratitude I have for your funeral home and staff.

I can’t say enough about how well Newcomer treated my family! Funeral Director Melissa Kemp helped every step of the way, always being so respectful and guiding us during a difficult time.
