“Easy Affordable Cremation is a wonderful place when you are grieving. They listen and care. Morgan was wonderful, helping me through the process of having my loved one cremated. I would recommend them to everyone who has had a loss in their life and need their services.”
“I would not recommend this place. My loved one passed away at 11:25 am it was understandable they were busy they told the nurse it would be 2 hours before they could pick him up well 3 hours goes by and they didn't have the decency to call the nurse and tell her the car broke down to pick my father up. They don't have there own car they hire transportation my father was not picked up till 5 pm. I wanted to go home Im upset and grieving the death of my father. I called the funeral home upset and was told by Morgan that if I wanted I could call another funeral home and have them pick him up I said no he is on his way there. They don't put a obituary in the paper and I had to go to Largo to pick up the death certificates. Not good customer service here.”
“I recently and unexpectedly lost my sister who had no insurance. I found myself trying to find out how to find a place that would do her cremation, I feel so grateful to have found EasyAffordableCremations.. They responded to my call quickly and with so much Care and kindness. I spoke with Morgan. Who asked me important questions regarding my sister and she answered my questions. She explained the process of getting my sister to their place of business. She kept me informed during every step of the way. I am so happy that I was able to get such a reasonable price and such a professional, knowledgeable, and supportive business. Morgan and her staff took care with my sister (Victoria Fox 12/25 RIP). I Highly recommended this company if you need them”
“Kyle, Morgan and any other employees at Easy, made a very trying time in my life much, much easier. My husband and I had only discussed our wishes and desires. So therefore, nothing was ever finalized. Easy made it much easier for me. John's death was not expected. He was the healthier of the two of us. He got sick and died in approximatly 30 hours total. His death hit me like a brick. Easy made every step of the way easy for me. I was not thinking clealy. I would give Easy Afforable Cremations 10 stars if I could. I did not know how much cremation cost. I figured at least $2000.00 or more. So, when I was told $499.00 for the actual cremation and $60.00 for the death certificate, i nearly dropped over! $559.00. And of course the cost of an urn, is to me, unheard of. But it's true to their word. I want to thank the social worker (i don't remember her name) at Advent Health North Pinellas for calling my sister with a list of cremation places that were totally geared to those of us with no final expense informatio available. She guided me to Easy Affordable cremations and 3 others. I only made one phone call the first one on the list. Did'nt feel I had to call anyone else. Again, thank you Advent Health North Pinellas social worker.”
“They are highly recommended and very compassionate. I received a call back and everything was explained throughly with steps I needed to take when I needed them. When the time came, I followed the steps, completed the information online and everything was taken care of, all the way to the arrangement for the box pickup at their office. Very affordable and professional.”

Military funeral honors are guaranteed at no cost for any veteran discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. The funeral home arranges the honors detail by contacting the deceased's last unit or the nearest active-duty installation of the appropriate branch and submitting the DD-214 to verify eligibility.
For requests less than 72 hours from service time, families can call the Department of Defense's expedited honors line at 1-877-MIL-HONR (1-877-645-4667). See the full honors protocol.
