We are a family owned funeral home which was founded in Akron, OH in 1917.
The concept that drives the people of the Anthony Family Funeral Homes is that funerals and grief are very real -- real people, experiencing real grief, many for the first time, from real families. We don't look at a dead person as an opportunity to increase the bottom line. When a bereaved family walks through the door of one of our homes for the first time, we see an opportunity to help someone in pain. We know the firestorm of emotions you are experiencing. Your heart is on your sleeve and it is our job, our duty, to respect those sometimes frightening emotions by being gentle and soothing, but above all, honest. We are honored by your trust in us at such a time and we commit ourselves to earning that trust by being faithful to you and your needs This website is provided as a service to our customers, as well as for the greater community.
