Our History
We at the Hummel Funeral Home, which has been serving families in the Akron area for over 110 years, have expanded our operations to include a Pet Services Division. We have staffed our Pet Services with professional, knowledgeable, pet owners and pet lovers. It has always been our tradition to care. Now in the third and fourth generation, we give complete service to every family that we serve. We appreciate the trust and loyalty that many families have had in us over the years and continue to strive to give every family the best possible service. We hope that we can help you or your family in your time of need. For more information, see our web site at: www.hummelcares.com
Paul Hummel III
President/Funeral Director
Growing up with pets, I know how important they are to their family. This inspired me to establish a pet service that families in Northeast Ohio could call and know that their beloved pet would be handled with compassion and respect upon their death. In 2006 I opened the first pet funeral service, operated by a family owned funeral home with over 100 years of funeral service to the community. This has provided me the opportunity to carry on our compassionate funeral ministry to our pet families.
