Criss Wagner Hoskinson Funeral & Cremation Service, Newark OH

I thought they did a fine job for my Mother's Funeral. Very helpful and responsive, especially when we were arriving from out of State.

Staff was very friendly. Jon Wagner and staff took care of the services for my father 4 years ago and did a fabulous job for him so I went to him and Criss Wagner Hoskinson for my mother’s services as well earlier this month. They even provided Chips Ahoy cookies to celebrate my mom as that was her favorite cookie. Staff offered the family to stay later if needed beyond her calling hours. We were all very pleased with the care they provided for my dad and then my mom. Highly recommend.

My Mother passed away November 28,2023. I received so much compassion from the staff, especially Greta. She is absolutely wonderful. My Momma looked like an Angel resting and everything was laid out so beautifully. Pastor Dave Mason was wonderful. He gave us all so much comfort with his words and music. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

We were so thankful for the help we received in prepaying for our parents final expenses. Mr Wagner and Greta were so kind and their guidance was much needed. We didn’t realize our father would pass so quickly but the staff was there for us then also. We would highly recommend Criss Wagner Hoskinson Funeral Home. Thank you all. The Wilson Family

John helped me from start to finish. I was out of the country when I learned of the passing of my father. The nursing home needed decisions made immediately, and I didn’t even know where to start. John was able to take my phone call right away, and assured me that he would get my father from the nursing home and take care of him until I could get back into the states. After that, he helped me with all of the arrangements, and even added special touches to the service like having my dad’s favorite snack available for everyone to enjoy. The facility is beautiful, and the graveside service was perfect. My dad was a veteran, and John was able to get the veterans there for Taps, the gun salute, and the flag. John and his staff are knowledgeable and thoughtful and made a sorrowful situation a little easier. Cant recommend enough!

There are really no words to express our heartfelt thanks for the sympathy and support that Greta have extended toward our family during our loss.

They went above and beyond to make this difficult time as easy as possible. My Mom looked so beautiful just like she was asleep, they even took the time to polish her nails to match her outfit. So greatful.

During the darkest time of my life, the staff (especially Greta) at Criss Wagner Hoskinson was nothing but amazing. They carefully guided me through the process of planning my husband's funeral, assisted me in selecting and designing his stone, and continue to check on me, via text messages and providing resources to help with the grieving process. Thank you for everything

I would highly recommend. Very professional and friendly. They went far and beyond. Excellent

John and Elizabeth were great during a very difficult time in our lives. We got exactly the service we needed and the caring and compassion was sometimes overwhelming. I highly recommend them to anyone. There is no better company than Criss Wagner and Hoskinson.

Greta has taken care of or family needs for years. She always goes above and beyond. They make you feel like family. I have known Mr. Mitchell since I was a little girl and he always asks how I am and hugs me when I need it. Greta even accommodated us providing our own casket since my mommy wanted purple. They will make sure your every wish for your loved on is followed. We will be going there for many more generations.

Very professional and was very nice to deal with. Had family from Texas in and needed things to happen quickly and they were able to make things happen earlier than planned. Very supportive thru the whole process. Family has always used them over the years and never have had any issues! Thank you kindly for helping in our time of need!

At my time of grief, you don’t know where to turn luckily, through a recommendation of a friend I contacted Chris Wagner Hutchinson, and worked with the amazing, caring, compassionate Greta Blegvad I can’t say enough about her. She was kind and caring. Just what I needed at the moment I will forever be grateful.

The staff at Criss Wagner Hoskinson Funeral Home are very nice and helpful. I highly recommend them in your time of need.

Chris Wagner and Hoskinson did a wonderful job helping us say goodbye to my brother Gary. They took care of all the details and duties. We had an off sight service and viewing during horrible winter weather. They let us be the leaders and they were there to serve. Our family will be using them for any future needs.

Criss Wagner Hoskinson was very caring and empathetic with me and my family during our time of need. They took very good care of my mom and the arrangements that we made. They even contacted me after to make sure I was doing ok. Thank you for your wonderful service.

Extremely compassionate staff, they made the process very easy during a really rough time. They will treat you and your family well.

I cannot say enough good things about CHW Funeral Services and their staff. Particularly Brian who went out of his way to keep us informed of all the details involved in a cremation and ensured my son was sent to his final resting place with dignity.

I’m only giving them 5 stars because there is not a 10 star option.

Words cannot express how wonderful they are. They have taken care of my family for years. Very compassionate and professional. A true blessing during difficult times. If I could give them 10 stars I would.
