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. How shameful she was on display in such a way that was an embarrassment to her and her dignity. Shame on you Burcham. Shame on you!

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.

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.

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!

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.

I have a fascination with old cemeteries. So on a recent visit to Wright State, the boy decided…read morethat I might be interested in visiting here. Its an interesting combination of old and new that combines history with the future. The old - The original cemetery contained 45 grave sites although only a handful of the markers survive today. Dates on some of the remaining ones date back to the early 1800's and it was originally a family cemetery for the family that lived on the site before it became Wright State University. The new - In the 1970s, expansion of the cemetery was approved for the medical center to inter the bodies of those who had donated their bodies to the medical school. The boy's grandparents had done this and so it was nice to find the brick honoring them and remembering how nice it is that they wanted to continue to do good in death as they had in life. It was a lovely way to honor family members, and as it was Memorial Day, they had been decorated with flags and some family members were there with flowers remembering their loved ones.
