Newcomer Expands in Ohio

Paquelet and Paquelet & Arnold-Lynch Funeral Homes in Massillon, Ohio have been acquired by Newcomer Funeral Service Group. Paquelet has served the Massillon area since 1929, and is led by third-generation funeral director, Joe Paquelet, and his wife Charlene, along with their son Bud Paquelet, fourth-generation funeral director.

Joe Paquelet said “Charlene, Bud and I have been honored to serve generations of Massillon families throughout our careers. When the time came to think of what comes next for Paquelet, we found that the Newcomer family’s values matched ours, and know that together with our superb staff, they will continue to provide Massillon with the best funeral and cremation care possible. I am also pleased to say that we will continue working in the funeral home and serving families when called upon.”

Fifth-generation funeral director and President John Newcomer said “The Paquelets and their staff are highly regarded throughout the Massillon area for their care and professionalism, and their commitment to quality service aligns perfectly with ours. Our family is honored that they chose Newcomer to carry their legacy forward.”

Paquelet and Paquelet & Arnold-Lynch Funeral Homes will continue to operate under the same name, with the same great team. Newcomer will provide additional support as needed to continue the Paquelet tradition of excellence. When deciding who might be the best fit to carry on your legacy, we hope you will consider Newcomer. Please contact us if you have an opportunity to share.
