Cremation Options

Sorry for your loss: I lost my mother a week ago, and this business really lifted so much off my…read moreshoulders. I can't recommend them enough. My mom had been sick for years and was very isolated as she neared the end. She didn't want a big service or event. I had a friend who lost their son and used the company- cremation options. After a little research I found that all of the mortuaries and funeral homes in the Knoxville area use the same cremation facility. Ask for the price of the service in writing flat - no up charge - this company did. They were so compassionate and cut and dry; without any extra frills or add-ons (things like cosmetology or dressing or transportation) ... the experience we had with this family run company was... I hate to say but it was calming and uplifting. It was such a relief to know that my mother was is going to be taken care of with dignity and respect. The friends that recommended them were able to attend their son's cremation and put hand prints on the enclosure before he entered the cremation chamber (sorry to be frank). My grandmother, her grandmother and uncles were charged from $7,000 to $16,000 for a modest, simple service. Cremation Options gave us plenty of choices for urns or keepsake things but my mom wanted a simple but specific look. We were able to bring in our own boxes and keepsake 'holders' and for no charge. They happily transferred her ashes (and labeled) the vessels we brought in to them for all members of our family that wanted them. So here is the truth, bottom line. We had our mother cremated and brought home for $1,689.00. It would have been $1550.00 but we needed 10 notarized death certificates at $15 a piece with extra non- official copies. That is a fraction of the cost we were quoted from other companies. Please do your research and make the right choice for your family. Sorry for your loss.

My husband and I are in the planning stages for our final arrangements. We made an appointment and…read morewent in and spoke with Bobbie at length today. We were quite impressed with the ease of discussion and how she answered questions that we didn't even know we had! She had a list of the services and the pricing readily available. There was absolutely no pressure to commit to anything today--which gives us more time to discuss the options with our families. You just never know what life will throw at you and we do not want to be making end of life care on one of the worst days of our life. We have a dog we would like to view our body after we pass and she had a solution for that. (we are in Knoxville, not St Cloud)

After my dad's passing, Premier Sharp Funeral Home was responsible for managing the cremation of…read morehis remains. My family opted to hold a celebration of life service for my dad at a separate facility. We were told by Premier Sharp that the remains and urn would be available for pick up in time for us to include them in the celebration of life. However, the night before the service we had still not heard back from Premier Sharp. My husband and I called to check on the status and were told that not only would the remains not be ready the next day as promised, but the person with whom we spoke (who identified himself as the funeral home's director) lacked compassion, sympathy, or professionalism. I, who had just lost my father, had to hear this person make excuses for not having the remains ready in time probably because the "ovens" were just back up the the cremation facility. I was shocked and disgusted. It took a significant amount of persuasion from both myself and my husband before the person agreed to contact the cremation facility to get more specifics on when the remains would be ready. While I can certainly understand that things happen and that something unforeseen could have occurred to delay the receipt of my father's remains, it is unacceptable that Premier Sharp did not inform my family that this would be the case. We only found out because we took the initiative ourselves to call the night before. Moreover, the phone conversation with the "director" should have been better on multiple levels. I don't understand how someone who works in this field would not have better skills to communicate with grieving family members. I can't help but think that we received less than quality service and attention because we chose to hold the celebration of life service at a different facility and only utilize Premier Sharp for its cremation services. I give Premier Sharp's two stars instead of one because a different employee called my stepmother the next day to apologize and explain the situation. She was much kinder, more apologetic, and actually empathetic, which did help to improve the situation.

We all have to face the loss of a loved one. This past week I lost my two day old grandson. Kirk…read moreGouge and the staff at Sharp's were compassionate and professional. I placed a call very early in the morning. The call was answered promptly. I explained that my premature grandson had just passed away at UT Medical Center. A very gentle and reassuring voice told me what needed to be done by my son in order to have my grandson's tiny body released to Sharp's. The family met with Kirk and he had everything taken care of. He only needed a few details for the necessary documents. When we asked what would be the total cost, we were told nothing. I haven't seen that type of compassion or the commitment to the community before. The relationships that they have with the local cemeteries is an amazing thing. From the beginning to the end, Sharp's makes a heartbreaking time more bearable. I will never be able to find the words to express my never ending gratitude. God Bless you all!
