Services
The Akron location operates as an arrangement office rather than a full-service funeral home. Located at 388 South Main Street, Suite 440, this office provides consultation space for families in the Akron area. For families requiring chapel facilities, Heritage maintains a dedicated chapel near Canton with seating capacity for nearly 100 visitors. All cremation services are handled at Heritage's owned facilities: Ohio Cremation Center and All Ohio Crematory. The organization emphasizes that families need not visit funeral homes or merchandise selection rooms to complete arrangements.
Heritage structures services around simplicity and transparency. Refrigeration is included in plan pricing, and the organization explicitly states it will not promote expensive service options or overpriced caskets.
Heritage Cremation & Burial Society operates as an independent, family-founded cremation and burial company serving Northeast Ohio since 1995. The organization was established by Ohio Licensed Funeral Director John M. Falk with a specific mission: offering families a simple, sensible, and affordable alternative to traditional funeral homes. Unlike conventional funeral homes that maintain casket showrooms and embalming facilities, Heritage built its model around direct service delivery—meeting families in their homes or convenient locations rather than requiring visits to a funeral home.
The Akron arrangement office at 388 South Main Street, Suite 440, serves as one of six regional offices spanning from Cleveland to Youngstown. Heritage owns and operates two dedicated cremation facilities: the Ohio Cremation Center and All Ohio Crematory, described as Ohio's newest and most advanced cremation facilities. This vertical integration eliminates third-party crematory transfers—a significant operational distinction from competitors that contract out cremation services. The organization maintains 24/7 availability with licensed professionals, transfer staff, and crematory operators on call year-round.

My husband recently passed away. I can't say enough about Heritage. They are kind and compassionate. They helped make a really bad situation a little bit better. Losing a spouse is hard. I'm also handicapped. They came to my home so I could sign the paperwork, all to make it easi...
