It was a few years ago, but I can't imaging a worse experience than the one we endured with…read moreSchermesser. My father was transferred to them from out of state. He was a dark complected caucasian from working outside most of his life. Also, he always wore a pencil mustache his entire life. Schermesser was given a recent photograph and father's favorite suite. Private family viewing for a few hours one day and general viewing for a longer time the next were the arrangements. We were shocked to find father with a bright pink complexion(picture a lady's powder blush compact) of a new born babe and clean shaven for the 1st time in his adult life. As shocking as that was, on the day of general viewing, before transportation to the cemetery we had to pick several beetles off dad's body and were plagued with flies swarming around the casket for the entire viewing. When we complained we were told insects come in with the flowers and there is nothing that can be done about them. I'm getting old, but I have never seen Pepto Bismo Pink used for make-up, and bugs never joined in the ceremonies.

My other siblings all lived out of state so we were stressing a bit on trying to coordinate my mother being transported to Canton and then making the arrangements for the church etc while we also tried to coordinate our travels. I can't stress how easy Rossi made the process. They coordinated everything and were so professional from start to finish it allowed us to focus on the pleasant thoughts we had with our mother over the last 90+ years. Thank you Rossi Funeral Home.

My experience with the loss of my grandpa was eased by the professionalism of the director. I was given the opportunity to help with the service which was a big deal to me as I too am a funeral director. Terry, the owner, went above and beyond what I am used to. He seemed to be instantly a part of the family- even drove the flowers to our house. I would use this funeral home again (assuming I lived in Akron). Should mention cost- very comparable to what is expected of most funeral services- and up front with charges. I am very pleased with all their services and dedication to my family at our time of need.

There was zero pressure. Which was greatly appreciated. Everything was explained to us, and if there were any questions they were answered in simple terms that were easy to understand. They asked questions about her life and wrote the obituary perfectly. Thank you for all the help.

I…read moredidn't expect my husband to pass but when I was asked who I wanted him to go too, you are never ready for that question, but the only place I could think of was Newcomer. I could not begin to tell you how professional and caring they were. Mallory, our director, walked my family through everything and if it wasn't for her, I don't know what I would've done. She had everything down to the finest detail. There was not a ton of makeup on my husband, that you have seen at other funerals, but he looked so natural and peaceful. Value wise, it was very affordable - not that I have ever checked funeral homes to see how much things cost. I am so glad that I chose them. They are top notch. Thank you so much for making a sad situation into such a beautiful, easy and thoughtful funeral for my husband. I give them a huge thumbs up.

Our most recent burial witnessed a member of the grounds crew desecrate the memory of our brother who was having his ashes buried on that day. This employee took a floral arrangement that had been set up on a table as we prepared for a committal service and threw it into the open cremation grave. We were mortified and when we complained to the cemetery office we were told basically "we do our best". Are these the same employees that are unloading the remains for the crematory? We are not going to take the chance.
