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

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.

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.

JoAnna helped us during the passing of our aunt/great aunt/ &great/great aunt, Mildred Martin. She was so personal and kind. We feel she was a blessing to us. The process was made much easier with her to help us.
Thanks JoAnna!

Bauknecht-Altmeyer Funeral Home provided excellent service during a difficult time. They helped me make decisions about my mother’s services that I couldn’t have done alone . Grace Furbee and her staff were friendly, compassionate, kind, and professional from start to finish. They handled everything with the sensitivity and ease needed in the difficult area of death. All the logistical items were clear, and they took the time to explain everything in detail. They definitely took our feelings and emotions seriously and that was very much appreciated. They truly made a difference during such a difficult time and I can’t thank them enough !! Thank you , Thank you , Thank you!!!! With Love , Brittany Griffin and family ! ❤️

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!!!

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.

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

It has been said that into every life a little rain must fall and each of us must experience the tragedy of losing a loved one. On the darkest of days just a small ray of sunshine can bring comfort and hope for tomorrow. In my darkest hour, the ray of sunshine bringing me comfort and hope came from the caring hearts of the staff of Bauknect-Altmeyer (St. C), specifically Joanna Fowkes. She guided my family through the most difficult time of our lives and remains in contact with us as we continue to process our grief. We all have to go through this but because of Joanna and folks like her, it doesn't have to be as hard. My family and I are grateful and appreciate all you do!
