My family and I would like to thank Joanna for all the love and care she gave us. She helped to make sure everything was done right for grandma’s service. It was a beautiful service. We live in Florida and had to have everything done over the phone and she was always there for us with any questions we had. When we got to Ohio we had to worry about hurricane Ian back home. Joanna was always checking up on us before the service, after and made sure we all made it home safe.

I appreciated the time and the care given to me when I was making the plans for my mother's funeral. This was the most difficult task I have had to undertake in my life, but Ben and the staff of Bauknecht's were so compassionate and understanding. They made sure everything went smoothly.

My family worked with Joanna Fowkes in the St. Clairsville location after we lost my Mother unexpectedly. During the worst time in my life, Joanna was compassionate, understanding, patient, knowledgeable, professional and so incredibly kind. She walked us through this process even when our grief was overwhelming. I cannot say enough good things about Joanna or thank everyone enough for all that they have done for my family. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars.

I truly appreciate all the kindness,
understanding, and continuous support I
received from Joanna Fowler in
coordinating the final arrangements for
my mother's funeral service. Joanna was
extremely professional and every detail
was right on.
When I threw in a special song request in
the final minutes she didn't even "blink
an eye.
Whatever issue arose …it was
"no
problem"
Coordinating a funeral service initially
long distance and then on site could
have been extremely difficult.…instead,
Joanna made it a smooth undertaking

Personally and professionally I have been dealing with Bauknecht-Altmeyer Funeral home for years. The staff is incredible and goes out of their way to make a difficult time easier. I have spent time with them at all hours of the day and night with grieving families and I am constantly amazed at the compassion and professionalism they bring to every situation and as a hospice nurse this is a crucial piece to bringing families peace and closure.
Thanks for everything you do.

I was very pleased with the care and Professional service Bauknecht-Altmeyer extended to my family.

My mother in law passed away in March. We was in contact with Joanna at the Bellaire location. She so caring and made Paul (my father law) and my self feel like she was part of our family. Joanna called me to come see Rhea before the showing. We had to make an adjustment with her hair. Joanna wanted Rhea to be perfect when Paul saw her. He was so happy he said she looked so pretty. Even after the service was over she called to check on Paul. Joanna didn’t have to do that but meant so much to our family. I would like to say Thank you Joanna, for everything you did for Paul and I.

Bauknecht-Altmeyer Funeral and specifically Ben Zonker, were extremely helpful, compassionate and understanding while taking care of my beloved wife's funeral. We live in Chesapeake Virginia and Ben took care of all necessary arrangements to bring my wife home to Bellaire. Everything went as Ben planned it and the service was beautiful. Bauknecht-Altmeyer Funeral and staff certainly made a difficult moment memorable. Thank you.

Serving as Pastor with many families during very difficult times in the loss of loved ones. Bauknecht-Altmeyer has always been very professional. I have received word from 100% of the families that their difficult time was made so much easier due to Joanna Fowkes! All made note of the care, compassion and professionalism she bestowed upon them!
Joanna has provided excellent communication to me through all the services we've worked together on. I also am witness to her care and compassion which is above and beyond. Very professional and so helpful, communicates up to the point of sending me a reminder of date and time beforehand. She has truly been a blessing to myself and all the families she cares for!
Well done!!!
