Ducro Funeral Services are first class. Megan made sure everything was taken care of with knowledge and compassion. All of our special requests were accommodated. We can't thank J.P. and Ducro Services enough for guiding us through this difficult time. My family and I highly recommend their services.

Ducro Funeral services truly deserves all 5 stars! My mother passed away on Christmas Eve evening. JP himself and his staff attended to our needs without ever missing a beat, as if they did not have their own family and festivities going on. Every part of the services were personal and perfect, fit for a queen. We can not thank them enough for their professionalism, availability and guidance during this most difficult time. (We chose the horse drawn hearse which was a special touch in our opinion.)

The entire staff at the Ducro Funeral Home was incredibly professional. Their kindness and compassion made a very difficult situation for my family very manageable. The personal touches they offer make all the difference in rememberance of your loved one. JP has created a family type atmosphere as he and his staff will be with you every step of the way. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you to everyone involved in the services for Annette Garber. I could not have done it without them.

VERY unhappy. They didn't listen to us the family that said nothing about planting a tree or buying things from their (not sure what it was called) like tribute store. However they assured us they would post it as well as put something out at the funeral for donations but instead there was nothing at the funeral and ONLY on one of the 3+ obituaries is where i FINALLY found one small place at the bottom with $0 collected.
That's very understandable seeing how hard I looked before I FINALLY found the one place. However, they were consistent in that on everyone of the obituaries they put the WRONG birthdate and have still NOT corrected it. Ron was born on August 13, 1948 not 2021 and he died on February 6, 2021. Also they knew money was VERY tight and ALL of us heard the one man talk about a casket rental of $99 for the viewing (since he will be cremated) but when another man came in the first man (I'm trying to leave their names out of it) denied ever saying anything at all like that even when we repeatedly questioned him.
I have since learned that in these situations many places have ways to handle this with no charge at all. Instead, we were charged $495.00. That makes it that much harder for me to pay this bill especially as I keep running into one thing after another like finding out that there's no life insurance. I know we all felt very bad even asking what happened about the rental.
Since we all loved him VERY MUCH, it hurt deeply trying to go the cheapest we could without being disrespectful but the reality is money is tight. I guess it's ok as long as Ron knows how much he was loved and wasn't here to see us squeezing on the money. I will say they were surprisingly fast with the death certificates which I appreciated very much. posted by his wife Dorothy

After losing our father and a husband of 43 years unexpectedly, Ducro offered a phenomenal service for our family. I just had to leave a review and I never do this. Everyone that we dealt with throughout the cremation process, picking out urns and remembrance necklace lockers for ashes, finalizing paperwork and receiving my fathers ashes and death certificates, was so polite and understanding.
While emotions were haywire as they usually are at this time, we felt that they took priority for our family and focused on our immediate and individual needs per person. I highly recommend Ducro in Ashtabula! Thank you all for helping us through. I know my father was taken care of.
