I randomly discovered Newcomer Funeral Home while attending a service of a relative of one of my…read moreclose friends. This funeral home took care of Jackie and her family and that was a huge plus. RIP Gloria! As a result of my positive interaction with them and how they ran a great service, I did more research, went back and talked to Adam, Kim and Sue later that day. All three were SUPER-helpful during an emotional time for me and my friends. As someone looking to finalize my living will plans and pick out a funeral home, my intuition told me to connect with them and this was the perfect opportunity--I had it on my to-do list for a year. I'm excited to talk to John in the future regarding my situation. I highly recommend Newcomer for anyone looking to assist with their funeral needs! They have a Grove City location, but my review is for the Powell location. Both locations are easily accessible to I-270 and other main roads. Again, figuring out which funeral home to use is a huge portion of the battle!

Their availability, patience, exceptional level of care and direction were invaluable to us throughout this process. Their efforts brought us comfort when we needed it most. I highly recommend without hesitation Newcomer Powell if you find yourself in need of this type of assistance. You won't find a more compassionate group who are truly committed to making the journey through the process as easy as possible.

It's small, and I didn't see much except the meeting room, but it's tasteful and welcoming inside. Plenty of parking outside. The staff were very empathetic, patient, and helpful, both on the phone and in person. Anyone coming here is having a rough time, and has many important decisions to make while simultaneously dealing with strong emotions. They understood that, and helped me through things. They have many options for every part of the service, and prices are reasonable.

There haven't been any technical difficulties with the music or power point presentations.

It would've been 5 stars, (I wanted to do 4.5 actually) but I'll get to that- just wanted to say…read morefirst of all the service for my husband's grandfather yesterday was exceptional. Andrew, our officiant, took the time to make sure he understood who my husband's grandfather was as a person by hearing personal stories and meeting everyone he could. I thought that was great. The services at the chapel and gravesite were excellent and a perfect mix of poignant yet concise. My only negative was after we returned from the gravesite to collect the items that had been set up for viewing during the service. It apparently wasn't discussed prior and we had no idea where things were- my brother in law went to check where the service had been and one of the employees kinda snapped "don't go in there!" Well... we had no idea where to look. Finally we were directed to where everything had been set up in bags for us, which was nice. But being the end of our day, the little snappiness and how unclear this had been kinda left a bad taste. So, just maybe something for them to remember in the future, remind the family where they can pick up the belongings when they return. :) Otherwise, I am very grateful for all the work these people do and how attentive they were to our needs. Thank you all!

We lost my grandma after a long battle with dementia. At the end, she was barely recognizable from…read moreher usual, elegant self and I was dreading the funeral even more. When we saw her, she looked like her old self. No longer skin and bones, but beautiful which is something I didn't think possible when she passed. It actually made it harder to bury her she looked so good. The employees were all very nice. The only reason I removed a star is because the nice young girl who coordinated everything for us then, tried to do a little up selling as all of us grandkids were at the cemetery while she was being buried. That was tacky. Contact people a week or so to follow up and offer the trinkety stuff, not while people are hugging and crying.

I was told then they were running 3 to 4 weeks behind because of repairs to their equipment. Now they are 4 to 6 weeks behind, atleast! Absolutely unethical to take people's money and then have them wait nearly 2 months to get their beloved pets back. DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS HERE! If you want your beloved pet home in a timely manner, go somewhere else. It's been a month after I was told 2 to 3 weeks, which at the time felt like an eternity. I called this past Sunday as it was going on 4 and was told I would hear from someone that Tuesday or Wednesday. It's now Friday and I was just told it will be another week. I can't even begin to explain how upset and angry I am. Losing my boy was a shock and devastated me. I just want him home. 4-6 weeks to get your babies back? Unacceptable. Never again.

My dog passed 12/3/23. He was with West Vets and Schoedinger handles cremations for them…read more On 12/21/23, I left a message for Schoedinger because I have not received his ashes yet. I offered to come pick up his ashes, as my vet said they are short staffed, do not have enough people to pickup and drop back off. I received a call from a lady named Wendy. She said if I wanted to pay $100 more, they would place his cremation as "priority" and I could pick up ashes the same day I pay, that he was in their "queue" and it would be another week or so. I think that is a horrible policy - the fact that they are trying to make more money off of people who are grieving a lost family member truly is disturbing and disgusting. If they are short staffed, then they need to hire more people. They should be ashamed - people are grieving and you are attempting to prey on their sadness for monetary gain. I wish I could give you 0 stars.

Hill funeral home handled my moms funeral - my family and I were left feeling horrible. Her funeral…read morewas held September 6th 2024. The obituary when posted on Facebook had a middle initial In my moms name. I called to let them know my mom doesn't have a middle initial. No problem they made the correction and reposted. However on the day of the funeral they printed the obituary cards with the middle initial. For my mom I brought in her dress - makeup - diamond earrings and a cross ring she loved to wear. When I walked up to the casket I see no earrings or ring! They forgot to put them on her! Also my mom wore her hair in a long braid and I sent a picture. Very simple long braid with a black rubber band. What they did was put in a blue rubber band laying against a black dress with a silver Barrett with some of the silver worn off in her hair. Looks like they found it on the floor and decided to put it in her hair. The picture I sent was simple braid with black rubber band. Then we were given the name of a pastor that they provide. He was to call me a few days before the funeral so I could share information about my mom. Well he never called. So I called Hill to let them know he hadn't reached out. They said I could meet with him a little before the visitation. I wasn't happy about that but what choice did I have. I meet with him and try to give him some information about our mom and family. He talked about the death of his father and how it affected his family. He literally only said my moms name once the rest of the sermon he referred to her as lady! Her boyfriends name is PJ and he referred to him has TJ!! All of this was so overwhelming. We had also given a video to be shown at the end of the service. When it was played the volume was so low no one could hear it!! Then at the burial site we were to be given the sign in book and the video back. They forgot to do that as well it was left in the hurst the entire weekend. Our family cannot have a do~over!! All Hill could do was apologize and for me and my family that isn't enough. This is your family business how can you literally do everything wrong! I wanted my moms funeral to be about love for her and how much she will be missed. Because of Hills lack of concern or care we were left feeling that we let her down and she wasn't honored they way she should have been.
