We detailed what she did at that time. Again, she professionally resolves our nagging problem on having the necessary inscriptions on a gray marble chair in one of our family plots. She followed through all the process, continued the inscription design and font size and coordinates with the contractor and monitors its progress. We are thankful and look forward to the final completion. Great job, Lynette! We hope your supervisor and the company give you the credit you deserve as a real and true asset to the company.

I was working with a different funeral home who had no idea what they were doing, and Katherine and her sister Amelia came in as lifesavers - truly. Katherine was incredibly competent, knowledgeable and most importantly compassionate. When I first reached out to her, she didn't think she would be able to help me, but she kept trying to even after we had hung up the phone. When she reached back out, she had solutions, options, and knew exactly what needed to happen. Carewell was exactly what we needed, and my family and I are incredibly thankful to have found them. If they went above and beyond for a complicated case, I know that they will do the same for everyone else they work with. I cannot recommend Carewell more highly. Incredible service and wonderful people. Thank you.

Everly Funeral Home did an excellent job with helping me with cremating my father. It was a very…read moredifficult time, but Everly Funeral Home took care of us. Special shout-out to the funeral director, Maria Vargas-Rivera, who was incredibly patient with our many questions, back-and-forth edits for the death certificate, and obituary. She sent papers ahead of time and scheduled the witness cremation (which must be requested in advance if you want this service) with respect and discretion. We received his ashes ahead of time and with the proper identification tags. Cannot thank Maria enough for her kindness and attention. Chad and Justin assisted with the witness cremation. Very punctual and professional. I'm sure it's not a comfortable situation for them, but I appreciated they were very direct and straightforward with this morbid, but necessary process. Very competitive and reasonable costs compared to other funeral homes in the area, but more importantly, they were very understanding and thoughtful. Hopefully I won't have to use them again too soon in the future, but I highly recommend Everly Funeral Home and will do so to friends and family.

I can't say enough good things about this company. My mother recently died and I'd never had to…read morearrange anything like this before. Luckily, hospice referred me to DCSV. Not only are their prices VERY reasonable, but they communicated very clearly to me what I needed to do. Everything was handled by phone and e-mail. Kip Austin and Tiffany Rahl were both SO patient with all my questions! Even when I changed my mind at the last minute and asked them to deliver my mom's ashes to my home (because I was trying to avoid an emotion trip out to and back from Chantilly), they were just super nice about it and got me on the schedule for the very next day's delivery! Of course NO ONE wants to face the death of a loved one, but DCSV went above and beyond to make this process as painless as possible. I am beyond grateful for how they handled everything.

When my mother was put into Comfort Care, I had researched cremation services and pretty much knew…read morewhat I wanted before I interviewed (in person) four crematories/funeral homes. Two of them failed to disclose all their fees until I asked additional questions (based on my research), one of them was double the price of the other three, and the fourth one was Direct Cremation Services. I met with a gentleman named Kip, who didn't try to upsell me, and gave me a package that met my requests. The costs were significantly lower than the other three places. He assured me that Direct Cremation Services would take care of everything, and explained both the logistical process and the paperwork/payment process. When my mother passed away, on a weekend, Kip returned my (notification) call, emailed me the link to take care of the documents, and immediately send his team out to transport my mother's remains. He told me the paperwork could wait until Monday. Thereafter, everything went as promised, and I picked up my mother's "cremains" yesterday. An unbelievably smooth process during a difficult time. I can't recommend this place enough.

I had a deeply disappointing experience with this business. Before any services were provided, I…read moreasked multiple times for pricing so I could understand the costs upfront. Each time, I was told "don't worry about it, take care of your family" instead of being given clear information. After the body was already transported to the funeral home, I was then presented with a bill -- despite my repeated attempts to obtain pricing beforehand. This is not a simple misunderstanding; it is a serious issue of transparency and professionalism at a time when families are vulnerable and grieving. This experience felt exploitative and unacceptable. I am in the process of filing formal complaints with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Virginia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, the county consumer affairs office, and the BBB so that this matter can be properly reviewed. I hope this business reevaluates its practices so that no other family has to go through this.

Remember "You" are in charge of your deceased family member not the funeral home. It's totally unnecessary to rip off family members handling the arrangements for an additional 1,000.00 pocket money for the funeral home to handle your loved ones after prearrangements has already been made and "paid for". Also if the removal person shows up to your residence to remove your loved one dressed inappropriately with a hoodie on and casual baggy pants like he's going to a ball game "as a representative of the funeral home" send him away call the funeral Home or another funeral home and "demand" someone that will respect your home and your family that will show up dressed appropriately with at least dress slacks and a decent shirt casual or dress shoes and don't accept them requesting your help to remove your loved one from your residence they should come prepared with two people remember you're paying for this proper service and you tell the funeral home what time to come to your residence to pick up your loved one if you're waiting for other family members to come to your home before your love one is removed from your residence generally they come automatically within 90 minutes but if you need more time let them know when you call to notify them of the passing of your loved one. .

The only thing that was a issue for me was that when first sitting down to meet with someone a piece of paper was just sat in front of my face with no real directions or questions being asked to what I would like to see.

The other issue I had was we paid for a service and it wasn't provided in the time that we previously discussed. Other than that the workers are very respectful upbeat and polite. A little on the pricey side but still decent.
