We are beyond words in expressing our gratitude to the entire Cremation.Green team. When our…read morebeautiful13-year-old daughter passed from Ewing Sarcoma at MDA in Houston, we were initially transferred to another facility for cremation -- a rushed process that left us uneasy because the facility was so cold and nothing like what we expected for our sweet girl. Late that evening, while searching for a place that would truly honor her, we found Cremation.Green. We called close to 9 p.m., and Laci answered with such compassion and understanding. She immediately helped us make arrangements, and by the next morning, they sent a vehicle and our daughter was lovingly brought to their farm. The experience was beyond what we could have hoped for. We were able to watch the entire cremation and send her off ourselves -- something that brought immense peace and closure. The facility was modern, serene, and absolutely beautiful, with a viewing room designed in the warmest, most comforting way imaginable. When we walked out with her ashes, the wind was softly blowing, and the trees and windmill seemed to wave us on. In that moment, we felt a deep sense of calm and gratitude. We are forever thankful to Cremation.Green for creating such a sacred, dignified, and loving space for our little birdie's farewell.

My wife passed away in February of 2014 and was buried in Oak Hill. I went to B-Remembered…read moreMonuments for her grave marker and was treated so nice I never looked anywhere else. The cemetery required a marble and bronze flat marker which was more elaborate than I expected. Becky made the process easy and I ended up with a beautiful marker that had a flower vase that could be turned over when not in use to make a completely flat surface. Years have passed and a few months ago I went out to the cemetery and found that the vase had been turned over and placed down in it's holder. I tried to pull it out and found that it was stuck. I was afraid of breaking it if I forced it. I went to B-Remembered yesterday and asked Becky and Randy how to turn it back over. They told me what was involved and Randy said he was getting ready to go down to San Marcos and would stop by the cemetery and see if he could get it out of the holder. I received a picture of it today, all cleaned and shiny with the vase sitting up. I asked Becky what I owed them and she said it was OK, he just stopped by on his way to San Marcos. It has been 10 or 11 years since I purchased it, I doubt I would have received that kind of service from any other company. If you ever have the need to purchase a monument, be sure and at least visit with Becky and Randy at B-Remembered. I don't think you will regret it.

This review was mostly written this time last year, but I didn't have the heart to finish and post…read moreit until now. I made the decision to make this review more about the process than my experience; to help someone doing research like I was at the time, since it can be overwhelming. That being said these prices are from the end of 2022 and if you have a specific question about my experience you can always send me a message. I dealt with multiple people here and overall this is a wonderful service. I called while my father was in hospice to be prepared and get instructions, they were very kind to me and very helpful. While I was calling the Bryan office, it was my experience through this process that the phone systems between the Bryan and Austin locations are combined in some way and their answering service is as well. Their website is very helpful if you need to get information in advance. Since my father was in hospice, all we had to do was provide the phone number for ABCS to hospice and they called once my father was pronounced. They will send someone out to retrieve your loved ones body. They do prioritize removals from the home over the hospital, so if there are multiple calls in a night, they may use a third party to dispatch to your home to handle this in a timely manner (more on that later) but they do have their own staff that they utilize first. They will then email the next of kin several forms to be filled out in the next several days and transport the body to Austin. These forms include a cremation authorization, an authorization to embalm and a death certificate order form. On the cremation authorization you can order urns and engraving as well, but I believe you need to look at their catalog online and specify on the form. I did call several times for help during this process and they were very helpful. There will be a later email about the vital statistics and the accuracy of this form being signed off is necessary before the death certificates can be issued. The death certificates need to be paid for in advance and typically take 10-14 days to arrive in the mail. This is due to the current cost in the state but I believe the first one is $20-25 with additional copies being $4. They had a bundle cost for 10 and 15 and I believe we got 10 for around $55. If the 10-14 days won't work, the form had an option for expediting for an additional $30 and I believe this was an overnight service after processing instead of regular mail. The timeframe for remains depends upon how quickly you provide the cremation packet, the doctors, how long of a wait there is ahead of your loved ones cremation and the type of urn you order. At the end of September I was told it could take up to 4 to 6 weeks total, but it was sooner than that. A few years ago my parents used this process for my grandfather and I think it took 2-3 weeks. You will set up an appointment to go to Austin to pick up the remains and pay at that time. Although I believe arrangements can be made to have the remains shipped to you, I'm not sure of those details as my mother did not trust USPS with tracking for such an important task. The cost of cremation was $775 plus any expediting you choose and the type of urn you choose and if you arrange service through them. I did not look into their packages for arranging a funeral service. They will also post a photo and obituary on their website if you email it to them, at no additional cost. There were three mishaps throughout this process, which was about a month long. The first was the third party who picked up my father was inappropriate with my mother and sister. I spoke to ABCS about this who forwarded me to the owner, Robert, who took it very seriously and handled the situation. As I stated above, they only use a third party when time is a factor and they are already on a call. The second was an unnecessary delay for the death certificates. Anthony handled this situation and accommodated me by sending me a scan to handle my fathers affairs as I had travelled across the state to do so, and the physical copy wouldn't be available until several days later. The delay shouldn't have occurred, but they held themselves accountable and were accommodating, so I wasn't very concerned about this. The third was a much bigger deal, but I do acknowledge they did what they could to make it right and I do appreciate it. Long story short, there was a miscommunication and his ashes had not arrived in time for the appointment to pick up. However, they did agree to meet my mother and sister outside of business hours and offered a partial refund to rectify the situation. Again, I'm leaving out a lot of details because of limited space, but the important thing is that they did resolve it and if the person I had been dealing with on the issue had been available I don't think I would have been given the wrong information in the first place.

My younger sister and I were in charge of handling my mom's arrangements and as two young women, we had no idea what to plan for or what we needed to do. Choosing Fuller-Sheffield as the funeral home to handle my mother's passing was the best decision we could have made. Brandon, the funeral director, provided service above and beyond right from the start. He helped us get what we needed to arrange military honors at her service, he was available to answer questions via text and responded quickly even after hours. He remembered the little comments we made about my mom in passing, like how she loved her patio garden and sunflowers, then incorporated that motif into her memorial slide show and program without us having to ask. He even helped to get my mother's ashes as quickly as possible so that I could have them when I left town, and stayed in the office late so that I could pick them up when they were ready. And even a few weeks after my mother's service, he helped us to get some additional memorial bookmarks made up for family members who didn't receive one. We're so grateful to have had Brandon and his staff during this tough time.
