My family has been part of the fabric of New Carlisle for over 100 years. Generations have used this funeral home. The service provided for my mother failed in nearly every way. Trostle's mismanagement ruined her graveside service. Nobody was scheduled to assist for the urn to be buried at the cemetery. We had to come back a week later to bury her. It's been over two years now with multiple phone calls and her death date is still not engraved on the tombstone! As I am writing this, it's Memorial Day weekend... It's time to show respect and do better!

Thank you to technology. I had the best seat in the house to watch the wonderful Celebration of…read moreLife for my father-in-law. We loved this man dearly and his send off was probably attended by many. Unfortunately, I was not able to be there physically and typically one would say that they would be there in spirit. However, this funeral home was able to allow the people who live far away to view his ceremony on Facebook Live. I am thankful that I was able to hear all of wonderful things about my father-in-law instead of waiting for my husband to come home to tell me the details. Keep doing what you are doing.

Not prepared for the loss, the sadness, or for all the decisions that we needed to make quickly. When we went in for our consultation, everyone at Adkins Funeral Home was very compassionate and helped us through a very difficult experience. Walter, the Funeral Director, guided us through the decision making process, explaining every detail of the options we had for the services. When we needed things explained several times, because it is hard to focus when you are grief stricken, he was always very patient and understanding. Walter was extremely professional. His experience and knowledge of what needed to be done every step of the way was a relief and weight off of our shoulders. Once all the arrangements had been made, we felt at ease in knowing everything would be taken care of. They spent time getting to know us and learning about our Father so they could help us in honoring his life. The Funeral Associate, Sheri, helped us write the Obituary and she took care of getting it published in the paper and on their online Obituaries page. A beautiful Memorial video was made from our pictures of our Dad, it was thoughtfully made and was very touching. They took extra care and consideration to make sure our wishes were met and that everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Adkins Funeral Home because the compassionate care and professional services help the family through an extremely sorrowful process in a way that gives peace and closure.

Caring, compassionate, and informative. Back in early October of 2021, during the worst days of…read morethis horrible pandemic, when funeral homes were (still are??) "booked solid" weeks in advance, this place became a never imaginable "lifesaver" for me and my husband's family. My husband lost his battle against Covid on 10/2/21. Most area funeral homes, including the one his family usually uses, weren't even going to be able see us to make arrangements for close to a month or more. Imagine how HORRIBLY busy they've all become!! People were/are waiting weeks, even months to bury their loved ones. Zerkle was able to find the time to see us within the first week after our loss, and schedule his service within two weeks time. This has been an impossibly difficult time, as many like myself have sadly discovered. I am not originally from this area, and am very grateful this place was recommended to me. A Yelp review I never planned to make, but helpful, I hope, if you're from this area. Trent and his staff were extremely helpful, guiding us through all the steps that needed to be taken. They were with us in ever sense of the word, before, during, and after the service. I will be forever grateful.

But that was nothing compared to the fact she lay there, open casket IN A PINK BATHROBE. My Aunt was one of GRACE and people referred her as LOVELY as she was a woman of dignity.

I never thought I'd be writing a review for a funeral home. But believe it or not, this is one of…read morethe most important decisions you can make. Recently, and unfortunately, my best friend from high school passed away. She was young, the illness was just devastating and she was just...gone. Out of respect for the family, I will leave it there. The staff was very friendly and sincere. They took great care of my dear friend and were very respectful. I can't seem to find the right words without it coming out wrong, but I will just say she looked better and at peace. I thanked them profusely with how wonderful she looked. In addition, they obtained pictures from the family and made an amazing slide show of her life. The way they put it together you'd think they knew her. They were very compassionate all the way around. The visitation was in the evening and they do have a closing time. With the amount of people that showed up, we definitely went past that time and they didn't mind. They just wanted everyone to take their time...and time is exactly what everyone needed. No one can make sense of how fast this all happened and it's so final. I can only speak for myself and what I observed...but a lot of people were grateful for their attention to detail and not being rushed for anything while paying their last respects. On funeral day, they were amazing! It was like a fine choreographed dance from the time you pulled in with your car to the time you left to go to the cemetery in your car. I was so happy my friend had such an amazing final resting ceremony. Once again, this was so unbelievable that we all lingered there too. They didn't mind, after all...this is it. I guess I can wrap it up with saying...they gave her the final platform she deserved with prodigious dignity...and it was appreciated by all. "Thank You" doesn't seem like it's enough, but it's all I got.
