How to Find Stewart & Calhoun Recent Obituaries
The official Calhoun Funeral Home obituary page provides first-name and last-name search fields and location filtering. Use the Akron filter so Cleveland-area Calhoun notices do not get mixed into your search.
Confirm the Correct Person Before Sharing the Notice
| Check | Why it matters | Reason to pause |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Akron searches can return people with similar names. | Middle name, maiden name or nickname does not fit. |
| Birth / death dates | Separates a recent notice from an older person with the same name. | The dates are clearly different. |
| Family | Spouse, parents, children and siblings are strong identity clues. | No known relatives match. |
| Akron connection | Confirms that you have the correct local memorial. | The biography belongs to another city or state. |
| Funeral location | The service location can confirm the correct obituary. | The funeral home or church is unrelated to the expected family. |
| Cemetery | Helps verify final arrangements and directions. | The cemetery is in an unexpected region. |
See our obituary verification methodology for the source hierarchy used on this website.
What to Check on a Stewart & Calhoun Memorial
Individual memorial pages can contain several separate event blocks. Read each one carefully instead of assuming every event is at the funeral home.
Wake or visitation
Check the start and end time. A wake may begin before the main funeral service.
Funeral service
The service may be at Stewart & Calhoun or at a church, chapel or another venue.
Cemetery
Copy the cemetery name, city and service time separately. Burial can be miles from the funeral location.
Livestream
When the memorial provides a livestream, use the link from the official page rather than a copied social-media link.
Flowers & gifts
Use the correct individual memorial and follow the family’s flower or memorial-donation preference.
Messages & memories
Assume public condolences can be seen by others. Avoid private medical, financial or family information.

How to Verify Cemetery Information
Stewart & Calhoun memorial pages may list a cemetery separately from the funeral service. Recent official memorials have referenced Akron-area and regional cemeteries such as Glendale Cemetery, Greenlawn Cemetery, Mount Peace Cemetery, Rose Hill Cemetery and Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery.
Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery
Stewart & Calhoun memorial pages sometimes list Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery for eligible Veteran burials.
Official cemetery
Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery
10175 Rawiga Road
Seville, OH 44273
Phone: 330-335-3069
Current VA status
The VA currently lists burial space as open. Visitation is open daily from sunrise to sunset, and normal office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m., excluding federal holidays.
Before arranging a Veteran burial
- Locate DD-214 or another acceptable discharge document.
- Confirm VA burial eligibility.
- Ask the funeral director about military funeral honors.
- Use the National Cemetery Scheduling Office for burial scheduling.
- Check eligibility for a government headstone or marker, burial flag and Presidential Memorial Certificate.
Verify an Ohio Funeral Director or Funeral Business
Ohio’s eLicense system provides public license verification for licenses issued by the Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors.
Microsteps
- Open Ohio eLicense License Look-Up.
- Select the Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors when a board filter is available.
- Enter the funeral professional or business name.
- Use fewer fields if a detailed search gives no result.
- Review the current license status directly in the state system.
Funeral Price Rights Before You Agree to Pay
The federal Funeral Rule gives families important price protections when comparing funeral providers.
Ask for prices by phone
A funeral provider must give price information over the phone when asked. You do not have to provide your name first.
Ask for the General Price List
When you visit and discuss funeral goods, services or prices, ask for the itemized General Price List to keep.
Choose individual services
You generally have the right to select the goods and services you want instead of purchasing an unwanted package.
Separate cemetery costs
Ask which charges belong to the funeral home and which come from cemeteries, newspapers, clergy, crematories or other providers.
Local Funeral and Burial Help Worth Checking
Ohio indigent burial or cremation
Ohio law provides a local-government process for burial or cremation when an indigent deceased person cannot be privately buried or cremated. The municipality or township connected with legal residence may be responsible in qualifying situations.
Action: ask the relevant local government before assuming the family must pay every disposition cost privately.
State reimbursement program
Ohio’s indigent burial and cremation program reimburses eligible local government entities rather than paying families directly. Current rules cap state reimbursement at up to $1,000 for an adult and $750 for a child, subject to program requirements and available funding.
Indigent Veteran burial
Ohio law allows a county Veterans Service Commission to assume qualifying burial or cremation expenses when a deceased Veteran’s family lacks the means to pay.
Summit County Veterans Service Commission:
1060 E. Waterloo Rd.
Akron, OH 44306
330-643-2830
Victim-related funeral costs
Ohio crime-victim compensation law includes an emergency funeral-expense process in qualifying cases. Eligibility is specific and should be checked with the Ohio Attorney General or victim-services staff before arrangements are finalized.
Flowers, Donations, Guestbooks and Livestream Safety
Flowers
Use the flower route connected to the correct Stewart & Calhoun memorial after confirming the person and service.
Memorial donations
When the family names a charity, open the charity’s own website before entering payment information.
Guestbooks
Assume public messages are visible to others. Do not post account numbers, home addresses, Social Security numbers, medical information or family disputes.
Livestreams
Use a livestream linked by the funeral home, church or authorized memorial. Be cautious with copied links that demand an unexpected payment.
Obituary Correction vs. Death Certificate Correction
Contact the funeral home
If a Stewart & Calhoun obituary has a wrong spelling, date or public service detail, contact the funeral home and explain the exact correction needed.
Use the official vital-record process
Changing an obituary does not change the certified death certificate. Corrections to a government death record require a separate legal process.
After You Find the Obituary: Practical Next Steps
Save the memorial
Keep the obituary URL and funeral-home contact with the family’s records.
Confirm Social Security reporting
Ask the funeral director whether the death was reported to Social Security. Contact SSA if reporting is not confirmed.
Estimate certificate copies
Ask banks, insurers, pension offices and estate professionals how many certified copies they actually require.
Check Veteran benefits
Gather DD-214, certificate, funeral invoice and cemetery documents when military service applies.
Verify donations
Use only the family-selected organization and verify the charity independently.
Keep a contact log
Record the organization, person spoken with, date, required document and next step.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Searching every Calhoun location
Use the Akron obituary filter when you specifically need Stewart & Calhoun notices.
Using only Google snippets
Open the complete official obituary before sharing service information.
Confusing funeral and burial addresses
Check the funeral home, church and cemetery as separate locations.
Ordering death records from the wrong county
Summit County is appropriate only when the death record is held there.
Paying from an unexpected message
Start from the funeral home or charity’s official website before entering payment information.
Assuming no obituary means no record
Families may choose private services or no public obituary. Death certificates are a separate government system.
