Savannah was a wonderful guide through the cremation of my mother. She did exactly what she said she would do, and the whole process was seamless. I would highly recommend their service. read more

Savannah was very helpful, communicative and compassionate. She brought ease and comfort during a difficult time me and family.

Local was amazing, they were helpful and supportive and provided the quality services our family with timeliness and value.

I hired Local Cremations on Greenville Ave. to handle the arrangements for my mother. They had done a kind, professional job with my father's cremation eight years ago. I wanted them to cremate my mother also. This experience was on par with my dad's. They are fantastic! Audra Weeks kept in touch with me via email, and Frank kept in touch with me via phone. Every contact was caring and helpful. There two wonderful people kept me up to date on important time lines and information. Alex was very kind too, and helped me to my car with mom's urn. I will always recommend Local Cremations and Funerals because of their commitment to care. Bill P. read more

We had the unfortunate event, last week, of having lost my brother in law. I called Local Cremation and Funeral services the night of-- after hours. Although, the girl on the phone couldn't tell me in full detail about pricing, and the different types of packages/services. She did assure me that if I called back in the morning, the funeral director would answer all of my questions. My family and I, lost and grief stricken, showed up at their Greenville location at about 9am the following morning, not having scheduled any appointments, or had talked to anyone. As soon as we showed up (unannounced), our funeral director Frank was there to help guide us through this very difficult ordeal, with such ease and comprehension. He was so thorough and detailed with his explanations. He was an absolute professional, and compassionate. I really can't find enough words to describe how grateful and appreciative we are of him, and his staff. They didn't even mind that we had no appoinment. Not to mention that David, my brother in law, looked as if he would have been sleeping in his casket at the viewing. We were amazed with what a wonderful job he did taking care of him. Thank you, so much Frank. read more

We have used Local Cremation twice and have been very satisfied both times. This time I was able to do all arrangements by phone & email. The phone is answered 24/7 by a live person. Credit cards are accepted. They are very professional. You select from the services they offer and they take care of the legwork. They worked with the cemetery and pastor to coordinate activities. There was no attempt at upselling or manipulation into buying more than what you specify. If you are expecting a flower shop, wide range of caskets, that's elsewhere. read more

From our 1st call making arrangements and purchasing the selected package for our needs, to finalizing our transaction, this service is caring and professional. We are extremely satisfied with this business and plan to use their services in the future, when needed. read more

At a time when i had no idea where to start God lead me to Local Cremation and Funerals. They were truly an answer to a prayer. I could not have asked for a better group of people to help me navigate this process. I worked with Frank and Audra and i am short of words to express my gratitude to them for all they did and the way they treated me. I called at 8 am on Saturday morning, was immediately connected to Frank. He answered all my questions without trying to upsell me services I did not need. Everything was handled electronically and they kept every word they made to me. Thank you, Frank and Audra! God Bless read more

Audra Weeks has been a pure pleasure to work with in this time of loss. I've been responsible for coordinating the cremation arrangements for a close family member in Dallas, while planning the memorial service in another city in the South - Audra has been incredible, even researching the local newspaper in my beloved family member's hometown without me having to send along anything! Ahead of the curve and a true professional, sensitive to high emotions and available to answer any questions and provide seasoned advice. Highly recommend - and not just because we share an awesome name! Seriously - the high level of service made the grieving process a little bit less painful, for which I am forever grateful. read more

Nearly six weeks ago I met with Audra at this location to discuss pre-planning my cremation services as well as looking into transferring my mother's pre-purchased cremation services from a funeral home in another Texas city. I was told by someone at the original funeral home that the services should transfer to any funeral home within the state but that we might have to pay the difference. My mother now lives up here in the DFW area and as she ages I wanted to have plans/arrangements in place. In any event, when I met with Audra she took all our paperwork and made copies. She told me they would look into it to see what could be done and would get back to me. I have been waiting to pre-purchase my own arrangements because I wanted to get both plans at the same place. Since I never heard back from Audra I sent her an email 10 days later asking what she was able to find out about my mother's plan. She replied that she had been under the weather and was having someone look into it and would get back to me. Two-and-a-half weeks later I still hadn't heard back so this time I called her. She was unavailable to talk that morning so I left her a message to return my call. By late that afternoon I still had not received a return call so I sent her another email following up and again, no reply. A few days later I wrote her again as she still hadn't replied. To this day I have never gotten a reply to my phone call or any of my emails. I live in Tarrant County and drove all the way to the Dallas location to meet with her. I explained to her that I had been diagnosed with metastatic melanoma and as a single person I wanted to pre-plan/pre-purchase my cremation services. I'm ok at the moment but wanted to have arrangements in place just in case my health declined and the worst happened. I also wanted to have my mother's arrangements in place so no one else would have to make those decisions in the event I wasn't around anymore. When I first met Audra I really liked her and liked the fact that she wasn't pushing services I didn't want. I honestly felt like she would be there to help me considering the sensitivity of my situation, but oh how I was wrong. It was most disappointing. I'll now start my search over again for an establishment wanting my business. read more

When our sister passed unexpectedly from a recent illness. We had several Funeral homes to choose from. With 40 years in the business and promises to care for our loved one at our time of need we chose LC. I spoke to after hours staff, very nice. Was told an "Advisor" would call us the next day. I had to call LC. Frank sent a heartfelt email when we decided to handle signatures by mail. I emailed questions, docs and left a VM. No follow up. I had to call them. It took a lot not to call someone else to take over. But i did not want do that to my sister or put my family through that. We have been through enough. Maybe it depends on the client, the situation. I don't know. I just know they could have done so much better. And we aren't done yet. No recommendation. read more

My son passed away recently and I live in California. I was given a list of funeral/cremation homes by the Dallas Medical Examiner's office. In addition to the list, I searched through Yelp as I am not familiar with the area, and to put total strangers in the care of your son was frightening. When I first spoke with Audra Weeks I knew right away I made the right decision in choosing Local Cremation. She gave me all the information I needed upfront with no pressures. Throughout the entire process she stayed in constant contact with me by phone and email. She was always incredibly helpful, compassionate, and kind. She was professional and very thorough in everything she did, and I don't believe I could have gone through this without her kindness and support. Their fees were extremely reasonable and I would not hesitate using Local Cremation again when needed. I only hope that one day I will be able to meet this beautiful and caring woman so I can give her a HUGE hug. The entire family at Local Cremation were a Godsend, and I will be forever grateful. read more

My father recently passed away and his wishes were to be cremated. Audra and Brittany helped us with every detail with fast responses all hours of the day. They made this painful process so easy for us. I can't recommend them enough. read more

My dad's wishes were to be cremated and after being deceived on the pricing with the Neptune Society, we used Local Cremation who had a better price. They promptly picked up his body. The communications and updates I received were top notch. Brittany was the one I dealt with most and she was working hard to get everything completed in a timely manner. There were things out of their control but they handled it very well. Thanks! read more

DO NOT use Local Cremation! When you are looking for a vendor to help you with a very intimate and difficult experience, these are NOT the people to turn to. I contacted them about a month and a half ago to make pre-arrangements for my father's cremation. I was put in touch with a man named, Anton, who promptly sent me an email with a quote on how much the cost would be, as well as the process. I attempted to follow up with this individual for an entire month! He never answered a single email of mine. When I would call their offices, I was given the complete run-around. No one was willing to step up and help, but instead would push you off to someone else because it was "not their job." You can only imagine my frustration with them. When facing a very difficult situation such as a death in the family, you would expect the people at a funeral/cremation service to have empathy and work with you. That is not what these people are about! Finally after an entire month and a half of trying to get help, I was directed to a man named Jim. I spoke to him about what I needed and gave him my email address, I was direct and short with him stating that all I need was for him to send me the paperwork. At this point, I was ready to work with another service but wanted to give them one last chance. A day goes by and still no email from Jim. I called him the next morning to let him know that I did not receive his email and he berates me. Instead of trying to resolve the situation, he blames every other person and situation, not even willing to look and see if he sent it to the wrong address (he wouldn't bother because it wasn't in front of him). I had to hang up the phone because I couldn't take any more of it. The entire experience was completely inappropriate, unprofessional and this business needs to look into their internal network because if you are unable to follow-up, be professional, have empathy, then you are in the wrong business. Go with another company who will take your needs seriously. All the best to you! read more

When my father passed away, we chose Local Cremation & Funerals to handle his graveside service and burial. My father passed away in Houston and we wanted to have the service in Dallas, so we worked with aCremation in Houston and they coordinated with Local Cremation & Funerals in Dallas. They were great. Not only was their price literally a thousand dollars less than another funeral home I found (that claimed to be affordable), but when I made the arrangements, they did not try to sell me anything other than what I said I wanted. I was prepared for a high-pressure sales pitch and being made to feel guilty because we weren't buying an expense casket, doing embalming, etc. That's the opposite of what happened. Yes, they explained the options that were available (which was helpful), but it was informative, not "salesy". It actually cost less than I thought it would. Everyone I talked to was professional and helpful. They handled all the details of bringing our father from Houston to the cemetery, arranging for the Naval Color Guard, and providing the guest book, flower stands, etc. I really expected that, because they were the lowest price, we were going to get less service. But that just wasn't the case at all. They were much better, than the funeral home we used for my mother, that charged us for every little thing they did. We were able to give our father the wonderful service he deserved, without going into debt to do it. I most definitely recommend Local Cremation, and want others to know that there is such a thing as an affordable funeral in Dallas. It turns out not having to deal with a mega funeral home like Dignity was the best decision we made during such a difficult time. Many heartfelt thanks to the compassionate people at Local Cremation & Funerals. read more

I lost my mother in law to Covid and wanted to handle all the paperwork and difficult parts with loosing a loved one, so my husband and his family didn't have too. I called many funeral homes and never got a call back. I called Local Cremation & Funerals and the call was immediately answered, I was able to get and give information and appreciated how I didn't feel rushed at any point. Frank and his staff went above and beyond during the entire process. I was able to call and email whenever I had questions and never felt like an inconvenience. We were coming from out of town and we were greeted and treated with such kindness and patience when we arrived for the viewing. Still so sad that we lost such a wonderful person but so glad the process was as smooth as it was. I highly recommend Frank and his fabulous staff. From the initial call, to getting my mother in laws ashes, we were very pleased and grateful for the respectful services offered at Local Cremation & Funerals. read more

Wow! Audra Weeks and Lonnie Pope could not have made a difficult time any easier. The experience starts when they do not try to up-sell a bigger package than your budget allows. They answered all of my initial questions on the phone. Either of them were knowledgeable and helpful, right down to the last detail. At a time when it was difficult to be clear headed, Audra & Lonnie made me feel safe, welcome & comforted. I interviewed every referral that they gave me and chose the location & florist that they suggested. I cannot say enough positive words to express their kindness, efficiency & their helpful guidance in planning my son's funeral. I hope you call them first if you want to pre-plan your own funeral, or may God forbid, have to react to a tragic event. read more

Everybody at Local Cremation were very friendly and professional. Had a great experience. Asked them to help with some additional tasks that were a bit more difficult because the cemetary is in a small TX town, difficult to locate both the cemetary itself and the people responsible for burial. They handled all the details to perfection. We had a burial-side service -- the display, the seating, the awning, all was very well done. The family and guests were very pleased with the outcome. And Sonya Giles in the Arlington office handled everything superbly - 6 stars for her ! read more

We had a great experience given the sad circumstances. Audra was truly a breath of fresh air. She was professional, warm and just a good person. I cannot say enough about our experience. I'm so grateful for all she did. read more

It's taken me a while to write a review, but my family and I were very pleased with the service and care provided by Local Cremation for my father's arrangements. Audra was my point of contact and she made this a very easy process. She didn't rush us or try to "make a sale". Everything was done with care and concern. We didn't have a church or pastor but she was able to help us identify a church which was across the street. The cost was thousands less than what other providers quoted us so that was also helpful. I'm glad that we trusted them with one of the most difficult moments in life. read more

I am so thankful that I found Local Cremation last year when my husband passed away. The gentleman I worked with was so kind and professional. He explained everything clearly and patiently. Even when I made an error with some of the information, he gave me an option that would take care of my mistake, and it did not cost me anything extra. I would most definitely recommend Local Cremation when you have a need for this kind of service. I am currently in the process of handling my own pre-planning, so when the time comes, things will already be arranged. I am working with Audra, and she is wonderful. During our appointment it was like I had known her forever. She was very sweet and understanding, and did not pressure me in any way to upgrade to something more expensive. She answered all my questions, and treated me with respect. She did not act like anything I had concerns about were foolish, and she made something that could have been very difficult very easy and comforting. I know when the time comes to put all the decisions in place, I will be grateful I chose Local Cremation to take care of it all. I'm already very grateful. Thank you so much to a company that I truly believe cares about their clients. read more

Audra was beyond excellent. My father passed away suddenly, with no plans (other than he wanted cremation). I was out-of-state, so it was not easy. She was one of the first people I spoke with, and the last person (as well). She took care of everything from beginning to end. I could not have requested anyone/ anything better. read more

My experience started out ok - the price was right, they seemed friendly and they came out quickly to get the body after they let us wait until everyone came by. However, make sure you ask them if the remains will "fit" in the urn -- they called to tell me that our remains were ready to be picked-up; when I got there, she said, "oh, he didn't fit in the urn you picked - you can scatter the rest of the remains and/or put them in keep-sakes." She said that it was because he was a tall man, but since he was 5'10", old, and extremely skinny when he died, it made me wonder if they had the right body. I would have thought they would have told me about any sizing limitations on the urns before you pick them out and buy them. Oh, and they had put the urn in a flimsy white paper shopping bag like you would get from a store, as though I was going to just leave and everything would be ok. I stated that this would NOT be ok with my mother and they allowed me to shop for a new urn. I asked for assurance that ALL of his ashes would be transferred to the new urn (old urn rinsed or something?, since I knew nothing about how they got all the ashes out of the old one and into the new one -- all they could say was "yes, we will, but the urn you originally picked couldn't hold the plastic bag we usually put inside" -- again - hmmmm. A few days later, they called to say the remains were ready -- this time, again, they had it in a paper bag -- I said, "don't you have a box, like the box the urn probably came in, so I can carry it in my car without it flopping all over the place?" They found one and wrapped the urn in bubble wrap so I thought it was ok and left. When I got the new urn home, I noticed that the coating had come off in some spots and it had scratches on the top -- I wonder if someone's ring scratched it? I didn't have the time, patience or emotion to go back and complain. I felt like my experience was ok but left an awful lot of room for improvement. If you don't know the answer, don't make something up and be a little more mindful upfront so no one else has to go through this! read more

My mother passed away recently at the age of 92. When her health started declining in 2011, I visited with Local Cremation and set up her funeral. She had been so ill that I thought she was going to pass soon, at that time. As luck would have it, we were blessed with 6 more years with her before she passed. Local Cremation still had my file with all the details I had previously chosen which was so great because it is really hard to think when you are grieving. Audra and Brittany at Local Cremation were absolutely AMAZING. Super efficient, helpful, understanding and empathetic. I was SO happy I chose them to help with my mom's final wishes. HIGHLY recommend them. Price was absolutely amazing as well. They are the bomb! read more

When my mother died in January, we used another well known local funeral home. The cost was quite high, and it was 3 1/2 weeks before her cremains were available for burial. They had been instructed to send them directly to the National Cemetery but when I picked up the death certificates, the girl at the reception desk mistakenly tried to give my mother's remains to me, literally plopping the container on the counter at the window like a delivery from Amazon! The whole experience made us realize we need to do our own pre-planning so our kids would not have this same experience. That is when I found Local Cremation. Unfortunately we had anoter death recently so I called them. They responded immediately, even though it was Mother's Day afternoon. Everyone was professional, courteous, respectful. Sonya kept us informed and the entire process was dignified and compassionate. I highly recommend their services. The cost is more than reasonable and the service far excelled what we experienced with another more traditional establishment. Although not stated, Local Cremation seems Christian based, focusing more on serving families than on profit. So appreciate their kindness. read more

Our experience with Local Cremation was excellent from start to finish. I had contacted another company that had been recommended but never received a call back. The Social Worker with the hospice group recommended Local Cremation and we are so grateful. From my first contact with Rick Atwell through the last with Audra Weeks they have been compassionate, understanding and provided the best in customer service. They took a difficult situation and made it as easy as is possible. I highly recommend them to anyone. Ask for Audra at the Greenville location. You'll be glad you did. read more
