Two were family members, one recent one was a friend with no connection to Bill or his funeral home. I am so very impressed to say I couldn't tell the difference in the compassion, time given, quality of care and overall service provided to the recent widow in her sudden time of need as was given to our family in previous funerals. Everything was beautiful and the staff was wonderful. Bacarella Funeral Home is the place to go in this time of life if a person wants the respect and dignity in such a sensitive time.

Every choice was easy, they helped above and beyond at every turn and took a hands on approach to the entire process. Even in the midst of this pandemic the professionalism shown was outstanding. We have used Bobcean in the past many times and although the Robert Gilbert family is new to Bobcean, they are not new to how to properly and respectfully do business. They are truly carrying on the "family" feeling just as when Art, Lee and Jim Bobcean ran the business. I will always be thankful for the help and guidance Bob gave to my family and I during this time.

We entered and no one was around. I said "You-Hoo?" and no one answered. My niece opened the first available door and saw a woman in a black skirt suit with her blouse untucked and in bare feet standing over an open casket. This woman came out, still disheveled and in bare feet and greeted us. (We should have left then but they had already picked up the body of my sister. She led us to an elevator, which had a huge bag of garbage on it, and took us to a downstairs meeting room. Among other things, she was not prepared for our appointment. She kept leaving to get things she needed. I wanted just a plain cremation because we were planning to inter her elsewhere in the summer. Many times, she said that "they" could help with that. She seemed to be interested in making more business. The funeral home wrote what I believe was an AI generated obituary after I had given her a detailed statement that I wrote. The saleswoman told us that the home would call when they received the death certificates. They did not. I called and had to pick them up at another inconvenient location. Finally, they did deliver my sister's remains, re-emphasizing that they would like to help us with her internment. Deli8vering my sister was the wrong time to ask for more business. I had to write the real obituaries and submitted them to the Monroe News and the Toledo Blade. A couple of weeks later they delivered an "advertising mug" and a corrected obituary. This certainly was too late, and the mug was in poor taste. Just because Merkle Funeral Home has several locations does not mean they are good at what they do. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!

We all felt entirely welcomed throughout the entire process. Due to Easter we were 6 behind others and they went above and beyond to meet our expectations. My mother looked absolutely beautiful due to the excellent and highly professional embalming processor. We honestly came together after the funeral and was astounded on how perfect this funeral service was. I will NEVER chose another funeral home service, the staff was overly professional, nice and made it as if it was their own being shown. We have lost 4 members within a week and we've decided that we will be using Newcomer for them and in the future. If you want the best services for your friends, family and guest please choose no other than Newcomer Cremation Funeral Services. They will make you comfortable with any selection you make, offering many different options that best suit your family and finances. Look no further, I'll definitely recommend Newcomer to anyone!!!! 5-STARS!!!!

First and for out-of-towners, location. Walker's is simple to find with a friendly location just west of Corey Road. There is a Corey Road exit of I-475 which made discovering Walker's easy. Parking, too, was more than ample given the business has two parking lots to the east and west. To the north is the Sylvania Arboretum making the view from the front of Walker's peaceful and beautiful, even while gazing over a busy street. Guest services. By this I mean greetings and salutations given by the Walker staff. I was made comfortable entering the large and beautiful building. Two Walker staffers were there to greet me in friendly fashion, and they attire was spot-on professional. They suggested the party name, kindly point the direction of the rooms AND suggested I sign the Guest Register. Very nice. The room and viewing areas were well appointed, not entirely understated by a calming color scheme, well managed accoutrements and nice facilities for men & women. There were HDTV for family picture flow. The placements of flowers were well arranged. Leaving I was thanked by Walker staff for attending. In my mind I don't imagine there being a smoother operation in Toledo.
