Sam coordinated everything -- the visitation, the funeral service, and full military honors -- all within a very short timeframe. What he pulled together was nothing short of remarkable. Every detail was handled with precision and care, and he never made us feel rushed or like we were just another family on his schedule. He was present, compassionate, and completely reliable every step of the way. The military honors were especially meaningful to our family, and knowing that Sam took the time to ensure that tribute was arranged properly meant the world to us. Our dad deserved that recognition, and Sam made sure he got it. If you're looking for a funeral director who genuinely cares -- not just about logistics, but about the people behind them -- Sam is that person. We are so grateful for everything he did for our family during this time. Crowell Brothers is lucky to have him.

But I do feel that it's important to share our experience, since it was helpful when we looked into a cremation service. They were recommended by our hospice nurse, and I must say they were phenomenal throughout the entire process. This is a very difficult time, but everyone at Leaf Cremation was very caring, thoughtful and professional. Brookle was our main contact and she stayed in constant contact with us. She answers any questions very quickly and explain the process to us. We went to see our son one last time before the actual cremation took place and we found the place to be peaceful and calming. After seeing him, we walked thru the cemetery next to their location, and it was also a very serene and tranquil walk. Leaf Cremation also has many options for urns, jewelry, keepsakes, etc for your loved one ashes if you wish. If you looking for a cremation service in the ATL metro, we cannot recommend Leaf Cremation enough

I waited for a confirmation e mail for about an hour. I checked my mail and found nothing from them. I then called and got an answering service that promised me the director would call me back asap. He never called, and I still did not know if the order went through. I had to be at work at 7 am on the day of my sisters service. I called and asked her fiancée if the flowers were delivered, he said no. My family had faith that I could order flowers for a funeral, Now I feel worse than I already did. For them to just ignore me at a time like this blows my mind beyond reason. Now I sit and feel lousy because of someone else's incompetence, or lack of caring. The worst example of customer service ever.
