“In February of this year, I had to make the decision to put my pet Yorkie down because of health issues. She'd been with me 15 yrs. I couldn't see burying her so I entrusted her final care to the cremation society. They kind, caring and served me well during that difficult time. The customer care was above and beyond, even after all was said and done, I received a follow up call to how I was moving forward with my baby, Precious. I would highly recommend their services to everyone. Job well done. Thank you very much for everything. God bless....”
“Nathaniel and his team were so helpful and kind as our family planned three different services for family members at different times over the last ten years. They were patient and kind in our time of loss and need. Highly recommended.”
“I lost my precious girl Phoebe on Monday. I called first thing on Tuesday and from my initial phone call to then, EVERYONE I spoke with was so kind and so compassionate. If they treat me this well and this kind with my fur baby, I can only imagine how wonderful they are when serving humans. Thank you to ALL of the staff for your compassion and your support. I would recommend to anyone! Thank you for making this horrible time a little less painful. God bless you all.”
“Nathaniel and his team have gone above and beyond from the very first phone call. I called on a Sunday, wondering if this was the place my father had his pre arrangements, to my surprise, it wasn’t, Nathaniel went in just to check the system for me. I couldn’t stop thinking about that, after calling around and still no luck, I decided to call back and set up the arrangements with them. I’m really glad I did. They were all such a blessing, during the hardest time of my life. They made this process so smooth, they showed patience and so much compassion. From sending monthly messages with tips of grieving, they even sent a text when it was my father’s birthday! It was so sweet! When they say they are there for you boy do they mean it. To Nathaniel and his team you are all so wonderful. I will forever be grateful to you.”
“Kind, caring compassionate & respectful Nathaniel & Elizabeth helped me navigate through a difficult time and made it less stressful Highly recommend”
