At 72, I realized I should make pre-arrangements for when I pass away…read more After checking various Funeral Homes online, I chose Billings. I have no Family close by, and I didn't want a funeral, etc., just to be cremated and to be sent to Ft. Custer to be buried with my late Husband. I dealt with Jeremy, who is a blessing. He (and still is) answered all my questions, no matter how odd they were. It's nice to be able to change things a bit, and know that Jeremy will do his best to help me. He has already made some excellent suggestions to make it easier for me.

The treatment and handling of this matter completely disrespectful a keepsake was bought for the fact of having ashes placed inside this small keepsake No credit no assistance no respect as well I am also a disabled veteran of the United States Marine Corps that was not placed into the obituary as requested for the honor of my father this is not one place nor company I will ever recommend anybody take their loved one to to be cremated when they cannot do the job properly nor correctly nor would I recommend anybody take in their loved one there even for a funeral. They take no responsibility in this failure and dereliction of duty for my father unsatisfactory by all standards take no responsibility for my little keepsake being in properly filled and more than likely not even human remains which I will have them tested to make sure count on it Respectfully submitted United States Marine Corps disabled veteran

VERY impressed!! This is a service that you don't want to review~ however they were outstanding! My…read more18 year old cat passed away in his sleep Monday evening. I called Kryder Cremation Services Tuesday morning and get some info so I could make the decision to bury him in our pet cemetery or cremate him. They made my choice so easy! Information was readily shared, they were polite and very soothing to speak to. 20 minutes later I was in the car on my way to them. Went in and the area is clean, bright, and a few meows were lounging to greet me. A few questions later about individual or group cremation, and basic info about me and my Napoleon dynamite, a fee of $120.00 was paid and I was on my way home to eat cookies and sob in my bed. The next afternoon they called and said that he was ready to be picked up and gave me the hours of operation again. I couldn't believe that in just over 1 day it was done. Drove out there, was greeted by a orange and white meow ( which is what my Napoleon dynamite was) which almost brought me to my knees- the ladies at the desk were very fast to ask me what I needed and when I said that I was there to pick up my ashes one went to get them and the other gently spoke to me about the cats that I was admiring. The box that they sent him home in is absolutely perfect. Is tasteful and elegant and just so lovely. The certificate has his name on it and is wonderful as well.

In the past 8 years, we have always received a letter in the mail, or it was printed in the news paper and then there were signage put up on McKinley Highway as well as Jefferson stating cemetery cleanup and when it is... This year there was no letter and no signage and to our amazement the cemetery has been cleaned... The dumpster is full of everybody's flowers and decorations... No notice given... going into the cemetery, in very small print, it gives the clean up days....but for someone with poor eyesight, they'd never see it... We lost a $100 solar light from Eternal Lighting Company, a couple other statues and figurines, and then five other solar lights that we had on some other family members graves as well... I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CEMETERY!!! They are crooks!!

My father purchased a prepaid plan back in 2004. He passed away suddenly in 2015…read more The staff was very cold. I went in several times to go over the details as my dad was a stage 4 cancer patient at the time, and was only given weeks to live. Every question I had was treated as an inconvenience. Only "certain" people could help you if you walked in. They disregarded several of my requests. They think they have the monopoly on the Catholics on the West and South sides of South Bend. More, on prepaid arrangements, you are a thorn in their side. I took a year to think before I wrote this review. It wasn't done on raw emotion.
