Janet the owner and director of Mereness-Putnam-Putnam is the opposite. She is down right mean. She shows zero comparison and at times you feel like you are inconveniencing her. The employees are not much better. My recommendation would be to look elsewhere.

They put on an amazing atmosphere and make everyone that comes here feel welcome and comfortable and comforted. There are so many nice paintings and antique furniture in this facility that it sometimes is hard to remember that you are in a funeral home and not an art gallery. We would highly reccomend and think that they are probably the best service in this area.

During one of the hardest times in our lives, she was compassionate, attentive, and truly cared about every detail. She guided us through the entire process with kindness, patience, and professionalism, making an incredibly difficult time a little easier to bear. On the day of the services, I couldn't have asked for a better person to help our family. Britney went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled with care, allowing us to focus on honoring our loved one. A few days after the services, Britney reached out simply to check on our family and make sure we were all doing okay. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and showed that her compassion and care extended far beyond her professional responsibilities. I would recommend this funeral home 100% to anyone facing one of the most difficult times in their life. The compassion and support we received will never be forgotten. Thank you, Britney and team for everything you did for our family.

I'm a year late writing this review, but it was recently the first anniversary of the death in our…read morefamily and it reminded me that we intended to share our glowing review of Simple Choices but didn't get to it in the months immediately after. At the time, I called around to at least 4-6 different places in the Albany area to understand the cremation options available, at a very stressful time obviously. Roy was BY FAR the most compassionate, patient, responsive, and clear about what to expect. Seriously, you just don't want to deal with the impersonal or callous attitudes that came across in my first phone call with some of the other places that offer cremation services. There wasn't even the smallest hint of anything other than the ideal level of genuine helpfulness from Roy. On top of that the prices were extremely fair, and the environment and decor in the Simple Choices funeral home is very comforting. Looking back, it also feels good to have supported a business & team that is committed to doing the right thing for people at their worst times. They live out ALL the values stated on their website. Oh, and I should also mention just in case anyone's looking for this detail in a review - our family isn't Christian, and Roy was nothing but pure kindness and understanding on adjusting the decor in the funeral home for our small family viewing. Roy & team, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for your excellence at serving us at such a difficult time. If we could leave you a 6 star review we would!
