There is no better or befitting name for a funeral home than "Endswell." This is the best…read moreexperience that I have ever had in seeking answers to this process and I am over 72 years old. I want to thank Hunter who took my daughter's call at midnight and my granddaughter's call and met with us, and we were able to view our son and her father's body. It was absolutely a remarkable and enlightening experience. I will always use their services and recommend their services to all who are tired of the traditional lacking services. Thank you, Hunter and Veronica, for your quality service and your dedication and caring for Michael.

When my father passed unexpectedly in April I was out of the state and had no experience or…read moreknowledge of what to do when it came to end of life care as the next of kin. Veronica was immensely compassionate and knowledgeable. She answered all of my questions, coordinated transfer with the medical examiner, and even took time to speak to family members when I was overwhelmed. Endswell was transparent with their services and prices while other funeral homes I spoke with had confusing lists of services. The fact that Endswell is more environmentally friendly alternative to typical cremation was also an important factor for me. I would highly recommend Veronica and the rest of the Endswell team for end of life care services and education.

The professionalism, compassion, and empathy were unmatched. The passing of a loved one is always difficult, when it is your spouse the pain can be indescribable. Dr. Lori, and her staff made it bearable, and for that, I can't think them enough. I highly recommend their services. The cremation, and all related services were handled professionally and expediently, a great value. Thank you.

During a very difficult time, Lori guided me through the process with professionalism and compassion. After making sure I filled out all of the necessary documents required by the state, her staff quickly took care of transportation from the morgue, storage, cremation, and getting all of the certified death certificates needed. She even took special requests for locks of hair, separate urns, etc. I would not have been able to navigate all of this without Lori's capable hands guiding me through the process. She made a very difficult time so much easier. Thank you.

I cannot express how grateful I am for City of Oaks Cremation during the most devastating time of…read moremy life. My 31-year-old son unexpectedly passed away, and from the very first phone call with Olivia, I felt a sense of comfort and care that I truly needed. Her gentle voice, compassion, and patience meant more to me than words can describe. She took the time to explain everything clearly and never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. From beginning to end, she handled every detail with such kindness and professionalism, making an unbearable situation just a little bit easier to get through. The team did an absolutely beautiful job preparing my son for the family viewing--he looked peaceful, and that is something I will carry with me forever. I also had the honor of meeting the owner, Edward, who was incredibly kind and comforting. You can truly feel that this is not just a business, but people who genuinely care. I will never forget the compassion they showed my family. I highly recommend City of Oaks Cremation to anyone in need of their services.

City of Oaks was absolutely awful to me when I called to inquire about my mother's "obituary" that…read moreonly gave her name, age and city. I wanted to verify it was, indeed, my mother, as I am out of state. All I asked on the phone was to verify her birthday and they cruelly refused saying I should "speak to the family". It was my MOTHER. I AM family! This was a most horrible conversation, they were unhelpful, cruel and could have verified for me without a problem. They spent more time being mean than it would take to just say "yes" or "no" about the birthday. Shame on them and their bargain basement "services". EDIT AFTER REPLY: I offered to email you my Birth Certificate with her name and DOB on it, and even that wasn't enough for you. I AM "Next of Kin" and should have been treated accordingly, regardless of what other family members demanded. Yours is not to determine which family members should be treated with respect and those who should not. A daughter is a daughter and should be given the most MINIMAL care and concern when tracking down something like her mother's death. Did you get proof of relationship from anyone else? I doubt it.

I dreaded going there for the first time, but was immediately put at ease. Timothy met me, sat down with me and explained everything. Although I arrived with a rough draft of the obituary, Timothy helped me finalize it and select a photo. He explained about the cremation process, explained the various urns. I opted for the compostable one, as I am planning to spread the ashes. I asked about the certified Death Certificate. Timothy was very helpful. I was ready to purchase 10+, but he advised that 5 would probably be more than sufficient and if I needed add'l ones, just phone Walker's and they will order them. It turns out he was correct--5 has been plenty. He did not try to oversell in any way. He was very respectful of the grieving process. When I returned to collect the "cremains", I again was assisted by wonderful staff who helped make a sad event not quite so sad. I highly recommend Walker's Chapel Hill. They show compassion and respect and assist throughout the process.
