Family-owned businesses, such as Calhoun Funeral Home & Cremation Service build their reputation by delivering on their promises. For the Calhoun family, this means surpassing expectations as we serve our neighbors in Akron, Cleveland, and Bedford Heights.

We realize our neighbors throughout the area trust our expert staff to walk alongside them during some of life’s most difficult times. We listen and we care, and our years of professional experience help us highlight your loved one’s unique personality at the funeral and help you heal afterwards.

We remain a family-operated funeral home in every sense of the word. William E. Calhoun began his career in funeral service in Akron. His philosophy was simple: a funeral is a way to celebrate the life that was lived, to reflect on your loved one’s unique accomplishments.

Throughout our rich history, families trust us to arrange every detail of their burial or cremation with excellence. They know we’re here to help with the 100+ decisions that come into play when planning a funeral. From writing a eulogy or obituary, to planning a reception, to coping in the weeks and months after the funeral, generations of our family have helped our neighbors pay tribute to their loved ones.

We know details matter, and that’s why we do everything possible to make sure to offer our neighbors every assistance with a personal touch. If you’re thinking about putting your own funeral plans in place, we can help you plan ahead and answer any of the questions you might have to explore all your options.

From beginning to end, our family provides full care and attention, so you can focus on what matters most in life: your own family. Contact us today with questions, or to learn more about our preplanning services and all the ways we can help you. The journey of life is something to celebrate – and the Calhoun family is here for you every step of the way.
