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 chose Direct Cremation because of all of the positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was…read morevery different from what I read. Having never been through the experience of managing the passing of a loved one, I didn't know what to expect. I arranged for DC to provide services. A few days later I bunch of emails with tasks assigned out of the blue. I called to ask about them and was directed to my funeral director who told me those were optional. A couple days later I got a contract and a payment link. Again, I called to question and let the director know we wanted to have an urn for the ashes and that I needed everything shipped to me. Shortly after, I got a new contract and a new payment link. Days passed and I called again to get status. Still waiting. A few days later, I called again. Should be done by end of week. See a pattern? No contacts by DC. Every call was made by me. The end of the week came and I finally got a call. My loved one was ready to be picked up. Wait, what? I paid for shipping. " Oh yeah, that's what I meant". Really?? Anyway, the company provided the service I paid for but communication was non existent. I don't think I ever got a "sorry for your loss" from our funeral director. Given the industry the operate in, I would have expected a little more.

I found Carewell as I was searching for funeral homes to help me repatriate my grandmother's…read moreremains to her home country - so international transportation of a loved one's body. 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.

They answered all my questions and were very clear about the process. I spoke with Chelsea and she was an absolute gem. I stopped by the next day it took 15 min and was $25, absolutely reasonable. I appreciate such good business service especially during a difficult time as losing my mom, I could have tried to do this on my own but why put more on yourself I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for cremation services or remains into jewelry like I did.

Funeral Director Nicole Best was wonderful to work with. She had the answers to all our questions…read moreand really helped navigate the complicated Arlington National Cemetery application process. She really helped put my shell-shocked mother at ease and she personally attended the burial. She also helped protect my mother from DD214 military record scams that charged ridiculous fees. We chose to provide our own casket from Costco because it was much cheaper and life insurance had not paid out yet and the government auto-withdrew 3 months of my dad's payments out of their bank account regardless of death date. Nicole and staff were very accommodating for our outside vendors and I appreciate them seeing us as humans and not just cash cows. They really do provide dignity and respect when you need it the most. *The body pick up team from our home, however, was not so great. I understand it is an on-call position at weird hours, but workers should be long-term partnered up with matching communication styles and balanced lifting abilities. My husband should not have had to step in to prevent an accident on the stairs. It seemed like it was this team's first time ever doing this job or working together and more training was needed.

My husband passed away last June and I am so grateful I had Brandon Yekel to help me through every…read morestep of the days and in my case months ahead. My husband retired military and a date was to be determined by Arlington Cemetery for his burial. It was four and 1/2 months waiting for the burial, but Brandon was on top of every detail throughout every process. It will be 1 year next month since his burial. Demaine in Springfield helped me so much at one of the hardest times of my life. Patty was also caring and compassionate from the very first call when my husband passed. I highly recommend the care of Brandon and Patty if you are ever in need. I will never forget the comfort that I felt knowing Brandon was taking care of everything. Reach out to them and you will experience true compassion when you need it most.

I took advantage of Old Town Funeral Choices following the death of my spouse. This facility came…read morewith the recommendation of several people in my church. They deserve their stellar reputation! The arrangements for my spouse's remains were easily taken care of, the funeral director was appropriately respectful and efficient, and the charges were extremely low, lower than a competing service that has a reputation for low costs. He took care of ordering the death certificates and publishing the obituary, never complaining about my numerous revisions to the text. In the end, he called me to report they had overcharged me about $2.00 on each death certificate and asked how I'd like the money refunded. Talk about scrupulously honest! I will recommend Old Town Funeral Choices anytime.

DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY! This is easily one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a…read morecompany. My father-in-law died on Sunday and it has been a one way game of phone tag ever since. After giving tons of information over the phone I was told that we would be sent paperwork within an hour via email. The paperwork never came. When I called back I was told it would be another 30 minutes. Still nothing. When I called back a few hours later I was directed to an answering service who told me they were closed. This morning I called and was told they would call me back in 15 minutes. That was over an hour ago. You would think that a company offering cremation and burial services to a family would understand that communication is key in a time of grief. This group has been atrocious. Avoid the added stress and go with a company that knows what they are doing.
