Bryan at Leaf Cremations was patient, available on the weekend and extremely important in managing the neccessary arrangements, including contacting the state of Georgia to file for a death certifcate. Everyone I talked to at Leaf was kind and helpful. Thank you.

This is the review I never wanted to write, especially since it's pertaining to our experience…read moreafter our 13 years old son passing. 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

The chapel was clean, had sparkling crystal chandeliers (they were very clean), and the stain glass windows were simple but nice. Black piano in the lobby added a very classy touch, and contributed to the nice atmosphere. Seems like there were a lot of friendly employees available to assist quests. Also, it seems like the venue was able to house an other service simultaneously. I'm very impressed with the entire business. There were monitors on the wall that were reflecting some family memories. However, great bonuses were the acoustic in the room and well working microphones so the quest could actually follow the beautiful seremon and the lovely songs performed by the mourning family members. Parking lot was not paved but at least there was enough parking. There were some parking spaces on the street as well.

I have been to Watkins Funeral Home for many funerals most of them was over the top my family have…read moreused them for many years in December 2025 my mother passed we called them they was there to pick up the body In thirty minutes which was good the really took care of us through all that process the only reason I took a point is because the day of the funeral the lady driver they assigned to us was a little rude she rushed us in and out the car I felt like we had no time to even walk to the car after the funeral we had to walk fast but other than that Mr Watkins and the staff are great I do recommend this place not for the price but for the professional services... but if you get a car try not to get that lady..,
