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 husband passed away in May and i knew exactly how to follow his last wishes. Adams Mason made…read morethat task so much easier. Writing the obit was so hard for me because my husband was such a great man and lived a wonderful life. How would i put it in words. Well, the obit was perfect. They took what info i had and worded it with such respect for him. Everyone was so supportive, i may have handled the last wishes for him on my own, but i never felt alone. My husband's funeral was everything he wanted and i will one day be using the services of this funeral home because of how they handled everything for my husband and made the worst time of my life a little easier.

I would like to start by saying that nothing is as painful as losing someone you love. Adam Mason…read moreFuneral Home was the best choice due to our needs (burial out of state, as well 2 day time frame). Not only were they the best but also the best priced. Funeral homes can be so different I've learned, some charging for EVERY little thing, pay for having chairs at the viewing, or severely overcharging for the flowers on top of the casket. Adam Mason Funeral home did not do that. Scott Mason is the person that took care of the whole funeral was wonderful. I was able to text him at nearly midnight when I thought of a question. He answered immediately with a response. The correct response. The preparation of my loved one was also outstanding. He looked like he was sleeping, cleaned up perfectly and so at peace. A memory that will stay with me forever, not the one at the hospital. They also worked with us wanting to bring my loved ones pet. No problem. We were also allowed to leave some notes in the casket with him, an issue that other funeral homes had. I have to say there is nothing negative at all about this funeral home, it's staff, or location. Go with a funeral home that is local, doesn't have corporate offices, those are the ones where you become a number. Again, I will highly recommend this funeral home to anyone who is in need because you're treated like family.

This summer I finally found a paper from his funeral. My husband and I went down to pay respect at his grave site. Only to find a marker was never purchased.

My family has used Eckard Baldwin for years. Professional service beautiful facility working with…read morethem has always been very easy and five star service all the time the compassion and empathy that is shown, especially when you're going through the trouble of dealing with your own problems because you wouldn't be at a funeral home for any other reason. Russ very much has taken care of my family at the loss of not just relatives but best friends through the years. There is nobody in my family that I know that is not going to be having their services done anywhere but Eckerd Baldwin so if you want the best, you just have to make the call do what's the best for your loved ones celebration of life. There's nobody better at it than Eckerd Baldwin.

We just used this company this past week when my mother passed away unexpectantly.. Let me tell you…read moresomething... The few that we met with were incredible in every way imaginable... We were able to speak and work with Russ, his staff members Stewart, and Stephanie on multiple occasions.. Every single time we spoke, they not only treated us with respect, and dignity, but also treated us like we were one of their own family.. They truly made us feel as though they were just as upset over our situation, as we were, helped us out quite a bit with decision making, and different choices that we had... If we weren't sure about what to do, they offered to do it for us, or give us their opinion, and/or on what they had done with their own loved ones in the past. As horrible of a situation we were in, they made it a bit more tolerable, and easier to comprehend... To tell you how incredible this group is, they even called us the next day to see how we were coping, and if there was anything else they could do to help us... Who does that????... This amazing organization, that's who!.. They deal with people during the worst times in their lives, and in some magical way, make them remember only positive things from it... Thank you to everyone at this facility, I will be recommending you to anyone and everyone that asks....

Founded in 1839, Akron Rural Cemetery has been renamed to Glendale Cemetery. One of the "park"…read morecemeteries like Mount Auburn near Cambridge Massachusetts and Hollywood in Richmond Virginia and Pere La Chaise in Paris, this uses the hills and promontories to present a more idyllic landscape compared to the flat "lawn" cemeteries. Quiet lanes for driving through or get a good workout by parking and then taking a hike. Politicians and industrialists and regular people are laid to reset here, with perhaps the most well known being Frank Seiberling (1859 to 1955) who founded the Goodyear Tire company that is based here in Akron. Plenty to see here and of course, a peaceful spot for a walk. Please remember that this is an "active" cemetery so be respectful with noise. [Review 1347 of 2024 - 266 in Ohio - 22370 overall]
