Funeral Director in Charge ~ Albany, NY
Robyn Deterling
“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.”
Managing Funeral Director ~ Akron, OH
Adam Byers
“Like most funeral directors, I work very hard during the work day, 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.”
Funeral Director in Charge ~ Columbus, OH
Alexys Gribble-Manning
“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.”
Funeral Director ~ Cincinnati, OH
Alex Mock
“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.”
Area Manager ~ St. Louis, MO
Barbara Capriotti
“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.”
