I used their services for 3 of my close family members and they were very professional and helpful in the process. I truly recio recommend them. read more

A close friend of ours passed and the nursing home offered us the number to this funeral. the person that answered was named Ruben and he was very belligerent. He kept going on about how he was part owner. Given our circumstances he was really disrespectful repeating the same things over and over. he showed no compassion for our situation and refused to offer their services. a truly rude person to someone having just suffered a loss. God bless him. read more

We used Allen and Shaw for my Dads cremation and they offered the ashes to be taken to sea ,and that is what we did for an additional fee.My mother has died and we are using the same company and sea service ,hopefully their ashes will drift back to the south current and go back to their country. Allen and Shaw is a professional company and very nice people working for them ,all my paper work was done rapidly and easily. The cost was way cheaper than other companies and I avoided using a middle man making the price higher . Simple and easy . read more

I would like to begin by saying that Isaac is a wonderful man. However, I must express my concern regarding a discrepancy in information provided by Jen, with whom I had several phone conversations prior to collecting our father. At no point during these discussions did Jen mention that only two individuals would be permitted to enter the office to pick him up. Consequently, when we arrived with our mother, she was unexpectedly required to wait in the car. Furthermore, upon opening the door, Jen informed us of a mandatory mask requirement and stated that she could only provide one mask. This information was also omitted during our previous conversations. I found her lack of empathy, particularly towards those who are grieving, to be quite disheartening. I think she is in the wrong line of work, she may be better working at a call center where she doesn't interact with grieving family members. read more

Invited to visit their website I went there. I used the contact form on the site to make an appointment for cremation arrangements. The response mentioned that someone would contact me shortly. This was done by me on Monday 4/7 between 8 and 9 pm. The next business day at 9.15 pm I still had not heard a beep!! How much of value are their promises? read more

While these are the types of places that will rarely get a review these are also the types of places that SHOULD BE reviewed more often... From Ruben to Tammy to Larry to Jennifer (I believe) my experience in dealing with A&S has been 100% efficient & caring! Absolutely no complains! They took care of gathering every single detail necessary for my father's cremation. From beginning to end the whole experience took 2 weeks. Will 100% refer them to my family & friends if they are ever in search of a reputable cremation company. Thank you for such a painless transaction read more

My father passed away several years ago and we used Allen & Shaw for his cremation. With so much on my mind at that time, I didn't think to do a review back then, but after finding this page saved on my computer, I remembered my experience and thought that I would write one now. In short, they were great. The woman I dealt with was kind, understanding and professional. After I called them, they took care of everything and made the the whole process easy. I remember the cost being very reasonable and the cremation was finished in a timely manner. Also, they had a friendly black cat in the office and since I am a cat lover, it provided comfort in what was a very difficult time in my life. As I said, this was a few years ago, so I don't know if the cat is still there, but everything else in my review stands. Great place, great people. Highly recommend. read more

Allen & Shaw were wonderful in our time of loss. We have used this company three times in the past 2 years, most recently this month. Tammi is wonderful and caring in explaining the details needed in order for the process to finalize and our family make arrangements. Her and the staff took the time to give me exact details and without me calling they were the ones following up with me. This says alot about a company. Refreshing to have someone follow up without me doing the chasing. Excellent customer service. Thank you for assisting in the process that you were able to expedite. read more

Definitely not a place I would recommend anyone with a heart to attend, horrible service. I was treated cold and without any type of care, no person should have to deal with this during any type of situation. read more

When tragedy struck my family and took my 15 year old nephew in a fatal car accident the staff at Allen & Shaw were amazing! They really helped make an extremely hard time a bit more bearable. Thank you for your empathy and amazing assistance! read more

I Love the people at ALLEN AND SHAW,they have been so kind and helpful to so many of my friends and loved ones. I have lost 5 family members and numerous friends and I could not have been treated so kindly with the warmest hearts and respect THANK YOU TAMMI AND PATTI and the staff read more

The owner is horrible unsympathetic They are disorganized and have no sense of comfort They completely messed up the process I wont have ashes in time for memorial She also has no sense how to run a business read more

During the most difficult and painful time of my life Tammi and her family at Allen & Shaw made the process very kind and comforting. Everyone I came into contact with was so kind and accommodating from the simplest to the most difficult of questions or concerns. They treated us like their family. The services provided were exceptional from start to finish and the cost was by far the most reasonable. I have since referred friends and family to Allen & Shaw in their time of need and will be using the to begin pre-planned arrangements. Thank you Tammi and family. read more

Tammy and her family made my experience in cremating my mother easier durning such a hard time. I would highly recommend them. Well run, very professional, and understanding. read more

What a pleasure dealing with Allen & Shaw. Was personally challenged, wanting to take care of a friend's cremation, as his only surviving child a minor, and his nearest relative in India. The paperwork is -of course- of legal consequence, and the time period to complete same *not unlimited*. I couldn't have survived this unexpected tragedy without your help, Larry. All staff at premises could not have been kinder or more generous. The best! read more

During a time where i experienced a whirlwind of emotions and frustrations, a friend recommended Allen & Shaw to me when i found myself going nuts by the cost and unprofessionalism of other nearby businesses i was consulting with. This family-run business took care of me and my loved one in my most dire time of need, they helped me with everything from day one and I can't recommend them enough. Again, thank you so much! read more

Our family has used their cremation services several times for our grandparents and mother-in-law and they were very helpful. Very inexpensive and professionally done. We pre-registered and had no issues when the time came to call for their services. read more

At one of the most difficult times in anyone's life they were informative and professional in providing their services.

I called this place yesterday and spoke with Tammy, she was excellent, but asked me to call back in the morning for the funeral director. I called this morning and the man who answered the phone was CRUEL. His lack of understanding and compassion are beyond comprehension. I can't trust people like this with the remains of my loved one. read more

Allen & Shaw was so amazing during the worse time of my life. They made the process of cremating my Father so much easier. They treated my Mother and I like family. The compassion and caring they showed us was amazing. read more

In the process of calling for cremation and it was so upsetting to call for help and instead find yourself being ridiculed and screamed at for asking questions about the legal process of cremation. read more

The passing of a loved one is such a delicate issue. In these times you need to be able to rely on certain professionals to make this process go as efficiently as possible, while still providing the care and attention your loved one deserves. Tammi at Allen and Shaw Cremations has a special gift of being able to console and guide people through some of the toughest times in life. She and the rest of the owners/operators/staff truly care about others and this is why they are the best at what they do. read more

I can't thank everyone at Allen & Shaw Cremations for being so helpful to our dear friend and her family in their time of need. Everyone there was extremely kind, caring and compassionate. I would recommend Allen & Shaw to anyone looking for an amazing group of people to help and guide them during one of the most challenging times of their lives. From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much! read more

Okay. Writing a review for a cremation service is...well, unexpected for me, but after the outstanding experience with Allen & Shaw, I had to write one. Allen & Shaw provides very affordable cremation services. While funeral homes in Miami were quoting $1400-$1500 for a direct cremation with no extra services, Allen & Shaw cost $495' including pickup. What was the difference? $1000! My mother had demanded that no extravagant expenses should be made in dealing with her remains. Thankfully, Allen & Shaw provided us an alternative to the high markup big-money industry that funeral services has become. We called Allen & Shaw once my mother had passed (she had been in the care of home hospice), they arrived to pick up her remains within two hours (we were 45 minutes away at least). They arrived and very respectfully took her remains away. "Respectful" is a word that is constantly in place with Allen & Shaw. They know they cater to a low cost market for their services, and while their facilities are no- frills, and in the commercial/ industrial district of Opa-Locka, they seem to do their best to deal with their customers professionally and treat the remains of their loved one's respectfully. We opted for paying an additional $100 for expedited handling of the paperwork with the State and the hospice doctors, so the cremation could be done without much delay (a couple days, in our case), an option the funeral homes claimed was impossible to deliver. Allen & Shaw is a family owned and operated business. Patty, who, I think runs the office, was absolutely fantastic and efficient. You couldn't ask for better service and professionalism. One caveat though, if you choose to pick up the cremains of your loved one in person, remember that their facility is not fancy and is primarily designed to do the business end of dealing with cremation. The cremains will normally come in a plastic, decent looking container, but if you purchase an urn you can take it there and they will transfer the cremains to your container for you (which we did). (We had purchased a nice urn at Perfectmemorials.com, a good recommendation by Allen & Shaw. Bottom line: why spend more, when professional, respectful (and possibly more efficient) service is available for less from a family run business? Big recommend. read more

Really a legit crematorium. After almost getting suckered in by another company (read Yellow Pages reviews), Allen and Shaw really helped us. Great, affordable company. read more
