“Like most funeral directors, I work very hard during the workday, but I’m always home for dinner with my family. Family time is extremely important to me, and my employer understands that. They value me as an employee and want me to be successful and happy.”

“I feel very valued and respected as an employee. I'm young, and a lot of young directors don't feel that way and their superiors don't make them feel that way. When I have an opinion or a suggestion, I actually feel like I'm listened to.”

“I think I am lucky to get to come to a job where they care about their employees.”

“I chose Newcomer because I liked the diversity, how many families they serve, all different types of families they serve. There are directors here all from different walks of life, varying levels of experience, from other states. It has been a great opportunity for me to learn different skills and techniques to help families.”

“I chose to work at Newcomer because for me, it offered the autonomy that I had felt when I worked at other smaller firms, but then also had resources of the larger places I've worked with. Having both of those things together at one place was something that drew me to Newcomer.”

“When something comes up, when something needs to change or something needs to be addressed, there's always someone, whether it's IT, Human Resources, Accounting, any time that there's a concern, there's always a direction where you can go where someone's going to help you.”

“I actually get to do something incredibly rewarding. I have more time with my family at home and have begun to spend a little more time with families who have lost a loved one. I feel at home and it is hospitality in a very rare, genuine form.”

“Working for a family-owned company is like no other, and the Newcomers truly care about the families that we serve, and you can see that in every decision that they make for the company. They allow us to do our jobs, they trust us to do our jobs and to make the right decision for families, and they treat us really well and care about our wellbeing.”

“Joining Newcomer straight out of college as an apprentice allowed me to return home to Akron. I am now the Managing Funeral Director and am truly impressed by the dedication our associates show each and every family we serve on a daily basis. Our team goes above and beyond to provide high-quality service at an affordable price. There’s no place I’d rather be.”
