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

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

To everyone at Bauknecht-Altmeyer Funeral Home.
Thank you for the care you gave my mother and our family.
Robert Griswold and Joanna Fowkes left no detail that was not addressed or taken care of. You guided us with grace and dignity in providing Dorotha Fowkes with a fitting tribute to a life well lived.

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.

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!

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.

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.

My grandma had passed away in Tampa, FL. at the age of 103. At the time I was in the Keys on vacation, and hurricane Ian was now heading straight for our homes, stressed is an understatement. With leaving the Keys early and heading home to prepare for Ian, and making the funeral arrangements all at the same time, Joanna Fowkes was able to handle the obituary, flower spread and ribbons, choosing pamphlets, thank you cards, procession, absolutely everything through text messaging for me. She was a god-sent, a helpful, compassionate and loving person. There were no surprises due to her transparency and explanations on what to expect for what was prepaid and what additional choices and costs there were. She was also able to convert a memorial video from iCloud to a dvd and play it during the viewing. Joanna went above and beyond for us, She became a member of our family that day.

My sincere gratitude to Joanna Fowkes for making this go smoothly and without stress.
