Tyler kept me informed through out the whole process. I had many questions and he was helpful, patient and kind. I would highly recommend their services from beginning to end. They were professional, prompt , and affordable. I am so glad I chose Columbia Cremation and thank them for getting me through this difficult time.

We priced other cremation services, but they were definitely cheaper than anyone else. They got the job done in a timely manner (We live in Texas and had limited time.) and with no extra charges. I highly recommend going to this establishment for your cremation needs. Thank you, Jennifer! You were awesome! There is one caveat. They do not cremate animals so you may want to look elsewhere for that service.

My husband and I were in the process of moving to Jefferson City with my sister (who was mentally challenged) and our pets. We discovered that my sister was terminally ill and I knew I would have to make funeral arrangements quickly. I remembered how wonderful they were when my father-in-law passed away two years ago. They made an unbearable situation bearable. They got to know me and sat and listened. It was especially hard because we had lost my mother just a year before. They truly cared and when the time came, they let me know that they would take good care of my sister. They were truly concerned with my feelings. I can't begin to say how much I appreciated their care and kindness.

If you need help with the big or small details, you can count on the funeral planning team to take all the stress off your hands. A cremation service can consist of the standalone process of a direct cremation with families choosing to scatter the ashes on their own time. Or you can choose to plan a memorial ceremony to hold after the cremation is completed. If veteran services or military honors are part of your plans, the team can help secure those benefits and implement traditional accommodations into the service. Along with basic funeral products like caskets, urns, vaults, and memorials, you can choose unique grave markers for the deceased. The benefits of selecting an involved funeral planning team are grief resources to help you through the mourning process.

My family contracted with Mr. Woods to handle the arrangements for my uncle. We had agreed upon a…read moresimple cremation, and requested copies of the death certificate, which Mr. Woods said that he could provide for us. We live in Texas, so we were much relieved to find someone local who could manage everything for us. The cremation itself was without issue as far as we could tell. As my uncle's personal representative, I traveled to Jefferson City to begin wrapping up his affairs and to retrieve his ashes. At that time, I was told the death certificate copies were "not ready yet" and would be mailed. I asked that one copy be scanned and e-mailed as a PDF, so that the process of notifying companies and agencies could begin. Mr. Woods advised me that yes, of course, this should only be a matter of a few days. Several days and multiple unanswered communications (both phone and e-mail) later, we were finally informed that the death certificates were "on my desk" by Tyler Woods, but that he was out of town and would put them in the mail to us just as soon as he was back in town, stopping only to scan the requested copy for e-mail. Several more days passed. The credit card provided had long since been billed, so it was clear that Mr. Woods had some time to complete the affairs of his business. I spoke with Mr. Woods' assistant, who advised us of a medical emergency in the family, and promised that the matter would get attention just as soon as possible. The assistant apologized for not being able to send the death certificates and receipt but explained that Mr. Woods doesn't allow the assistants to do that paperwork. Given that knowledge, we waited patiently for several more days to allow Mr. Woods to deal with his emergency. I spoke with Mr. Woods again after the wait and was promised that the 'backlog' of work was being addressed that very day and that the e-mail copy would be sent that night. No such copy arrived. After several more unanswered calls and e-mail messages with escalating language (while always respectful), Mr. Woods finally sent a photograph (made with his cell phone?) and sent that through e-mail. This was not the PDF that was needed, which is produced during a scan of a document. A photograph of the document is not valid with any of the creditors or banks and was refused, as expected. We were unable to begin the probate process and were also unable to terminate service contracts or close accounts, and had to pay additional costs/fees out of pocket. After (6) weeks of this very tiring and frustrating process, the death certificates were received. They were mailed to the wrong person in our family but we did get them. The process date was listed as just a few days prior, making it clear that they had only just been submitted and approved by the state. In other words, Mr. Woods' initial claim of having them over a month earlier was simply a stall tactic. It has now been nearly three months and even though many attempts have been made to get a receipt for the $1,200.00 cremation, none has ever been received. We had to use a copy of our bank transaction statement to include with the probate paperwork in order to provide evidence of the cremation costs. Mr. Woods has taken unconscionable advantage of the fact that we are several hundred miles away to stall and evade us. Calls have gone unanswered, e-mails ignored. Promises have been made, broken, repeated, and broken again. Left without recourse to get him to complete the contracted tasks, we are forced to consider such drastic measures as legal action and reversing the charges paid for his services if we do not receive the promised documents soon. I can respect that Mr. Woods had a family emergency, but our family is, itself, grieving its own loss that should not be compounded by his thoughtless and careless inattention to his business. Also, he could have easily delegated these tasks to someone else in his office but seems to be micromanaging all operations of his company. We do *not* recommend using the services of this business.

Watch Out! Memorial Cemetery will attempt to get every dollar out of you they can possibly squeeze…read moreand say anything to get it. The first big shock was they wanted to charge $500 to drive my mother from their memorial offices a few hundred feet to her grave. When they agreed to lower the fee they said we could use the office van instead of the hearse. They finally decided on the hearse on the day of her funeral. The one request my mother had before she died, which we shared with Memorial Funeral Home, was to be buried under the shade of a tree. We asked to see plots near trees. Memorial guaranteed my mother would be buried under the tree we chose. Memorial said they could not guarantee what would happen to the grounds fifty years or more in the future, but that in the near future, my mother would have her tree. Horribly, one year later, the tree has been removed to make room for more graves. We would have chosen a different park if we knew of their plans. Extremely disappointing!
