they took care of my husband when he passed very compassionate and professional steven and melissa were the best

My family and I could never express in words how kind, caring & compassionate Steve & Melissa Harper in the recent loss of our loved one. He was a Vietnam Honorably Discharged Veteran that had a beautiful heart & soul. Steve & Melissa were so very helpful in giving me contacts, helping & assisting his wife through this heartbreaking time. We will be eternally grateful for the care our family entrusted these dedicated supporting people gave to our family. Our family assures you that they are truly Angels on Earth. Most affordable pricing & recommendations when dealing with Military. They really show compassion, when so many other places we inquired with did not seem to care as much or explain to our family. We were blessed to have found them. The Family of Joseph Randal Methvin read more

Very quick to call you back and text you back on the inquiry you had with their company and also process your payment. But after that it's downhill. You'll have to do Melissa Harper's job as well as grieve. You'll need to contact team health yourself for updates on a death certificate, as well as report everyone and their mother to vital statistics office . Make sure you don't send your dead family member here!!! read more

excellent service highly recommended very please with the way the business was handled

My sister passed away unexpectedly in Florida and I called and spoke with Melissa. There is not a person on this earth more compassionate and caring than Melissa. She provided me with everything I needed to do long distance (I am in Michigan) in such a kind manner. I would recommend their services to anyone. Thank you Melissa for helping make a difficult situation easy to navigate. D. Copus read more

When I made the decision to stop my dad's dialysis and go with hospice, I knew I would need to get prepared for his final transition and end of life services. My husbands aunt used Affordable last year for his grandfather and she told me about them during my dads stay in hospice. When I first contacted Affordable Cremation Solutions I had no idea where to begin. Steve was very comforting and assured me the process would be easy. He told me to just give their name to the hospice case manager and they would take care of everything. It was such a relief knowing I didn't have to run around during such a hard time in my life. When the time finally came and my dad passed away. Steve came personally to pick my dad up and reminded me to relax and not worry about any details and they would email me details of how to proceed. He made sure to let me know that he would take great care of my dad and for me not to worry about anything else. I received an email the next day from Jessica who was very professional and detailed in her email. She explained what documents I needed to sign and when the death certificate and cremation would be done. They reassured me my dad was in good hands. Jessica even sent me information on how to have the invoice paid by assignment through the insurance policy which I had no idea was even possible. This took a great deal of stress off my family and I as we did not have to come out of pocket for the cremation expenses. I would have never known about this if it wasn't for Steve and Jessica being so helpful in every way possible. On the day I went to pick up my dad's remains I met the most warm and kind hearted gentleman who goes by the name Preacher. Preacher came out to my car to check on me while I waited in the parking lot for my appointment that I had arrived 20 minutes early for. He approached my car with a great smile and greeted me so kindly. I told him I would wait for the set appointment time and thanked him for coming to acknowledge me. About 2 minutes later he returned to my car and told me he could actually help me with picking up my dad and that I didn't have to wait for Jessica. He was so kind and such a great spirit. We had a wonderful conversation about daddy's girls and a few laughs together also. Preacher made me feel right at home and confident that my daddy was handled with dignity and respect. He helped me place my daddy's remains into my chosen urn and Walked me out to the car. Preacher, Jessica and I had a group hug an everything before I got in my car. They made me feel like more than a customer and for this I am truly grateful. Even though I don't look forward to doing this again, if I have to I would not go anywhere else! Thank you Preacher, Jessica and Steve for making this experience so peaceful and easy!! God bless you all! read more

We used affordable cremations in March of 2020 when my mom passed away. The entire staff was very polite and respectful of our time. Thank you for making a very hard time in our families life a little easier with how your team handled the situation. read more

We used this company for direct cremations for my husband and both my parents within a 4 month timeframe. They were professional and treated my loved ones with dignity. We were very satisfied with the service that we got from them and I would recommend them. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the building and office could use some updating but the people were very nice. read more

My brother in law unfortunately lost his beloved Yorkie. Instead of a burial he was wanting to cremate him. The prices were indeed affordable and the kindness they showed us was unmatched. My brother in law truly appreciated their service. I felt compelled to leave a review as their last one was over 2 years ago and was very negative. Our experience was nothing but positive. Thank you Affordable Cremation for taking care of Tom Tom. read more

My mother passed away on 09-10-21. All was well with the process until we received the death certificate. The date of death was one month off (huge pension, Social Security, VA issues)causing a litnany of problems with these agencies. SSN was wrong, Fathers name omitted and her race was wrong. Their office administrator committed to having this resolved ASAP. Our continued calls to her found that nothing was occurring. She became extremely defensive. In late October we contacted the Doctors office who needed to amend the certificate and they claimed that they have never heard from her, and they needed a form from her. Two weeks later contacted Affordable Cremations and she claimed that the Dr's office completed the form incorrectly. We contacted the Dr's office and they had not heard from her. Finally in early November Affordable Cremations claimed they had the proper paperwork and would personally walk it to Fl Vital Statistics. 12/18/21 She tells us there is nothing more she can do & for us to call Vital Statistics. They claim that they received it in the mail 11-23-21 and we may get it after the first of the year. The Affordable Cremations office staff is either incompetent or understaffed. Our conversations lend us an opinion we'll let speak for itself.. Had we not gotten involved to push the matter we do not believe it would be where it's at today. It's been 3 1/2 months and we still do not have a correct death certificate to handle her affairs. read more

My Dad died unexpectedly last July and not having dealt with a death that close to home before I was unsure of what to do. The burden of handling my Dad's arrangements had falken on my shoulder. A close friend had recommended calling Affordable Cremation and I did that. Affordable Cremation ftom the start handled everything from the start. They guided me through the process, they answered any and all questions about cremation. Their staff could not have been any kinder ot compassionate through out the whole process. Even though I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing they never made me feel that way. I would recommend this business to anybody that needs their services. They will be very pleased with them. They were never concerned about money, they were concerned about me and making sure that there was ease in everything that needed to be done. read more

This is a total fly-by night operation. If you care about your loved one at all, do not, I repeat, DO NOT send them here for cremation. First of all, Jessica the office manager is incredibly rude. My uncle and I had to call her on several occasions, and not once did she show any friendliness, much less compassion. Appointment hours were only between 9:30-1:00 M-F. We were on vacation about an hour away from Jax (we live outside Atlanta) when we got the call my other uncle's remains were ready. Our appt was at 1:00...we are still sitting here outside their "office", and it's now 2:00. Called Jessica at 1:10 and supposedly she got called out and would return in 25 mins. Well we are way past that. Terrible, terrible service all the way around. read more

Definitely the best of the bunch of all the places I called. Sympathetic, explained everything in straight forward terms. Honest about what he offered and what the price would be, and didn't try to upsell to take advantage of a horrible time. I would recommend him to anyone. read more
