Anthony Funeral Homes & Crematory

Anthony Funeral Homes & Crematory is a family-run funeral home serving Summit and Stark counties, with locations in Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow and Green. The firm traces its roots to 1917, when Kucko Funeral Home opened on Exchange Street in Akron, and the current ownership is led by David Anthony with his children Eric Anthony and Katie Anthony-Clapp, both licensed funeral directors.

The Akron home on the Massillon Road address is a 17,000 square foot facility that the firm says is the largest in Summit County. Its Community Room hosts funeral luncheons for up to 100 people and nonprofit events. Families can plan burial or cremation services, prearrange ahead of time, send flowers, and find obituaries on the website, and the staff says it will carry out arrangements exactly as directed.
