Newcomer Akron

Newcomer Funeral Home provides cremation and funeral services, along with obituary notices, flower sending, preplanning and grief support resources. The family has served Akron since 1893 and says its cremation and funeral prices are well below what other area funeral homes charge.

The home is open around the clock, seven days a week, and the phone line is answered at all hours for families facing a death. Families can also request an appointment, preplan online or ask for a planning guide. The funeral home hosts receptions and offers a scholarship program.
